About the project

The Problem: College students in India apply to dozens of roles under tight placement deadlines, often resorting to generic resumes or AI tools that fabricate skills and auto-apply without oversight.

Our Solution: CareerPilot is a calm, human-in-the-loop job application workbench built for students. Users upload their PDF resume once to establish a verified profile—a strict source of truth.

How It Works: Students filter 500+ job listings with computed skill-overlap scores and AI-generated fit bullets. Clicking "Prepare application" triggers a 5-step LangGraph orchestrator that recalls past interview weak spots, reorders matching projects, compiles a clean tailored PDF resume via ReportLab, drafts a cover note, and generates an .ics calendar reminder. A built-in code validator strips any unverified skills, projects, or employers before saving. Crucially, the agent cannot submit applications—nothing moves to "Applied" until the student reviews the side-by-side diff and clicks "Approve and send." CareerPilot also includes persistent mock interviews that score answers (1–5) and remember weak areas across sessions.

Impact: Eliminates resume hallucination and accidental submissions while giving students a transparent, auditable log of every AI action.
