Hey HN,

I’m 18, and over the last few weeks, I got tired of spending hours just managing the process of finding work — writing resumes, outreach, proposals, contracts, etc. As a freelancer, it felt like I was doing more admin than actual work.

So I built a tool to solve my own problem: CareerMind AI

It helps with:

Creating tailored resumes and cover letters

Writing personalized outreach + freelance proposals

Spotting red flags in contracts

Optimizing LinkedIn and freelance profiles

I built it in ~3 weeks, solo. The stack:

Next.js (frontend/backend)

Gemini API (for all the AI functionality)

Neon (Postgres with a nice DX)

Why Gemini? I wanted to try something outside the OpenAI bubble — the Gemini models performed surprisingly well, especially for contract analysis and writing long-form outreach.

Not trying to make a pitch here — just genuinely curious what you all think. What’s broken? What’s overbuilt? What would you actually want in a tool like this?

Thanks in advance!
