The Roast
"You've built a polished feature, not a business—this is a free Chrome extension waiting to happen, not a $50k/year side hustle. Claude already does this for free if you prompt it right, so you're basically selling a UI wrapper around an API call."

💀 Why This Fails
- • Resume tools are a graveyard—Jobscan, Resumeworded, LinkedIn exist and are free or $5/month
- • No defensible moat; anyone with Claude access replicates this in 20 minutes
- • Users expect this bundled IN job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed), not as a standalone tool
- • Monetization nightmare: job seekers are price-sensitive; recruiters won't pay for candidate tools
✅ The Pivot
Flip the customer: Build JobHunter for **recruiters/hiring managers** to auto-score candidate resume fit against job descriptions in bulk. Charge per job or per hire. You own the hiring workflow, not the desperate job seeker's wallet.
