Job applications are brutal. Company research, CV tailoring, cover letter writing, interview prep -- each one eats 45-60 minutes. Multiply that by 10-15 applications a week and you've lost your entire week.
I built AimVantage to fix this. Upload your CV, paste a job link. 90 seconds later you get:
- Company intelligence brief -- culture signals, recent highlights, auto-extracted from the job URL
- CV fit score -- match points, gaps, closing moves
- Tailored cover letter in 4 tones -- Direct, Formal, Warm, Creative
- Mock interview questions with model answers
- 5-minute pitch outline for the opening of your interview
One workflow replaces Jobscan ($49.95/mo) + Final Round AI ($99/mo) + manual Glassdoor research. AimVantage starts at $5 one-time.
The tech
Built solo in 53 days:
- React 19 + TypeScript + Vite 6 -- 72,735 lines of code, 92 components
- Gemini 2.5 Flash for all AI generation (not GPT -- Gemini is faster and cheaper for structured output)
- Stripe LIVE with multi-currency (GBP + USD), webhook idempotency
- Vercel serverless -- 10 API endpoints
- Supabase for auth + database
- 334 passing tests, zero TypeScript errors
The entire thing runs on ~$1/month in free-tier infrastructure.

72,735 lines of code for AimVantage is a huge solo project! It's impressive that it runs smoothly on free-tier infrastructure for just $1/month. I see the appeal of automating the prep process, but I'm skeptical about AI-generated company briefs being as useful as real research. For coding interviews, I've been using LeetCode for DSA, but recently, PracHub has become my favorite for technical rounds. Their question banks are pretty close to what actually gets asked.
Thanks man. Yeah the 72K lines thing kinda crept up on me, started as a weekend project and just kept going.
On the company briefs, fair point. They're not meant to replace real research, more like a quick first pass so you know what you're walking into before you spend 45 minutes customising everything. Saves a lot of wasted effort on roles that turn out to be a bad fit.
Haven't tried PracHub for DSA stuff, I'll have a look. AimVantage is more on the non-technical prep side, cover letters, fit scoring, mock behaviorals. Different lanes really.
