How we built it.

Our front end is built using React, HTML, and CSS. Our backend API's are built using FastAPI. we turned to Python, harnessing the power of Gemini, OpenAI API, transformers, FastAPI, S3, and Apache Airflow. With scalability, durability, and reliability at the forefront, we opted for Amazon's S3 bucket to store mined Job Recommendations. Additionally, we leveraged Apache Airflow to schedule our extractions which played a pivotal role in optimizing job scheduling as part of our meticulous data engineering workflow.

Challenges we ran into

Scarcity of data, data mining, security & scalability

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We establish a connection to the user's email account to extract application timelines seamlessly.

Our classifiers, meticulously crafted to predict job-relevant emails and determine the stage of the interview process, were meticulously developed from scratch. These classifiers leverage data meticulously generated and collected by our team.

Embracing cutting-edge technology, our project harnesses the power of OpenAI's GPT innovatively, employing it for tasks such as data cleansing, entity recognition, and data generation.

We take great pride in leveraging Generative AI to enrich the student experience, providing innovative solutions that empower and support them throughout their career journey.
