About

Like so many others, I was laid off recently and quickly found myself navigating a mind-bogglingly inefficient and broken job search. Fueled by a need to stay focused and a desire to immerse myself in emerging AI capabilities, I began building Difr (difr.me) to help job seekers manage their applications, get deep insights to their fit, and tailor custom resumes for every opportunity. I've got some other ideas up my sleeves too!

Roast an idea: adding grammar checking via SDK to any app boosts retention

Hey there! I am one of the founders of Linguix - we build AI writing assistant and now we are diving into developing our API and offering an easy way to integrate it via API. My idea, that has some proof via PoC projects by now, is that when you add grammar checking dialogues to your app, people will spend more time within it = improved retention rates. Also, those dialogues can potentially be used to promote core product features, which should improve APRS/ARPU.

What do you think? Would you be open to testing this kind of product (Grammar Check API/SDK) for free?

On a scale of zero to Beyonce, rate my landing page

Hey all. I'm launching soon & put together a pretty basic landing page. I would love constructive criticism on improvements I should make.

Here's what a few friendlies have shared with me so far.

  1. More use of css animations, to make elements pop and feel more interactive

  2. Social proof. (We're prioritizing this & will add soon!)

  3. Less color, more white (this makes me sad, but if its the right thing to do...)

  4. Mixed reactions the use of slideshow, versus breaking this out into something more scrollable.

  5. My wife didn't like that there's a video on the top and told me I'm making a weird face in it anyway. (I mean, my face is just weird by nature, geesh!)

Do you think AI tools should be made to help students think more on their own?

Yesterday i saw a discussion by @hamza_afzal_butt Do you think AI is improving education, or does it make students too dependent?

so here i am sharing my thoughts about AI learning as i am also buliding AI exam tool :)

AI makes learning easier, but if it just gives answers, students might stop thinking for themselves. (not good, right)
That s why I m building PrepareBuddy-an AI study assistant that guides learning instead of just providing quick solutions. It breaks down topics, offers step-by-step explanations, and encourages critical thinking.
