Beacon
AI career coach that talks to you — not another job board
Voice-first AI career coach that proactively surfaces opportunities, coaches through interviews in real-time, and understands your full career trajectory rather than just keyword-matching a resume.
AI Involvement
The entire value proposition of Beacon is AI. Rather than a keyword-matching job board, Beacon uses an LLM to build a persistent model of the user's career trajectory — understanding not just titles and skills, but patterns of growth, the kinds of problems they gravitate toward, and what the right next role actually means for them specifically. A voice interface makes the coaching interaction feel natural and low-friction. The model proactively surfaces opportunities framed in the context of the user's trajectory, and conducts real-time interview coaching with contextual feedback — not generic prep tips.
Key Technical Decisions
- Voice-first interface — reduces the friction and anxiety that text-heavy job tools create
- Career trajectory modeling — persistent user model vs. stateless keyword matching
- Proactive opportunity surfacing — push model rather than forcing users to search
- Real-time interview coaching — in-session feedback loop, not just pre-interview prep materials
- LLM as the core logic layer — business rules encoded in prompts, not hard-coded filters
