I’m a Staff Software Engineer, and just recently, on February 24, 2026, I was laid off along with 200+ coworkers. To survive the brutal job market, I hacked together a tool to automate my own applications: jobbi.app.
It just crossed 300+ users organically, so I wanted to share it here.
How it works:
You upload a big “master resume” (3–10+ pages with every job, duty, side project, and tech stack).
You paste a target job description.
Jobbi uses AI to pull out what’s relevant and generates a targeted resume for that specific role, with instant PDF/Markdown export.
Pricing / philosophy:
Core loop is 100% free: unlimited tailoring on standard models and unlimited exports.
All PII (name, phone, email) stays on the device; only the anonymized content goes to the model.
There’s an optional Pro tier that uses more expensive models (like Gemini Pro) on a subscription with a 2‑week free trial. I don’t push it, but I already have 4 subscribers, 2 of whom converted from trial.
I’d really appreciate unfiltered HN feedback:
Any UX bottlenecks or confusing flows?
Any privacy red flags?
Features that would actually help you land interviews?

There’s an in‑app iMessage form that pings my phone directly, or you can email support@jobbi.app. Thanks for taking a look.
