Abstract
ANT: Application Navigation Tracker
Job searching involves juggling dozens of recommendation emails weekly across multiple sources. The same job appears repeatedly. Applications are scattered across notes and spreadsheets. It's easy to lose track of where you applied, when, and what happened.
ANT is a lightweight companion that helps you stay organized and make smarter application decisions.
How it works: Upload your resume. Paste a job description (or connect Gmail to automatically surface opportunities from your inbox). ANT analyzes your profile against the job and gives you a match decision: Apply / Maybe / Skip. It highlights practical considerations: visa sponsorship availability and experience requirements. If you decide to apply, it suggests which projects from your resume are most relevant and what themes you might mention in your cover letter. It then saves the application to a simple tracker so you have a record of where you've applied.
The product: Working MVP with Supabase backend and Streamlit UI. Tested with early users. Core features: resume parsing, job-to-profile matching, alerts for visa and experience gaps, application history tracking, and email de-duplication.
Business model: Freemium for individuals (session-based free tier, $4.99/month for unlimited analysis and Gmail integration). B2B partnerships with universities and career services (flexible pricing based on institution size).
ANT doesn't find jobs for you, it helps you keep track, stay organized, and make better choices about where to apply.
