From a non-technical user... I used Chat and Claude to tailor my resumes depending on the position and what not. I completely agree with your take on building "experiences" that you can recycle depending on the job. What I had personally found, is that it takes a while to dive through all my "experiences" and recall everything I did in specific jobs. I ended up going on voice mode and having a natural convo with the AI and have it ask me questions like a psychologist. We were able to extract a ton of experiences without the fatigue of having to figure that part out. I wonder if that would ever hit your users because this was my main barrier to even try free tools that did this.

That is an excellent idea! I had experimented with chat based approaches but that was not very successful. Would you mind sharing your approach for the voice mode? I would love to understand it better!
Absolutely.

I honestly worked out a big converation about indrustries that I wanted to explore and landed on a prompt like... you are my career coach... ask me any relevant questions that would help you clearly understand my strenghths, skills and experiences so we can use the STAR method later when building a resume for x industry. The chat was honestly pretty good at asking those questions once it had my resume. "Have you ever had to fire someone? Why?"- This led to uncovering a time when the team had to go and ended up in a prety good experience: "Built a team of X people from stratch that led to X metric increasing etc. " This was gold for me.

That is awesome! Thanks a lot! I will experiment with it and see what I can do.
