Pathwiseai
Generate tailored cover letters & score your resume with AI
Go check out my launch on Product Hunt!
https://www.producthunt.com/products/pathwiseai?launch=pathwiseai
Hey IH! 👋
I'm a college student and just launched my first product: PathwiseAI.
The problem I was solving:
I was applying to internships while juggling classes. Writing cover letters was eating up all my time — 30+ minutes each, and I had to apply to 50+ companies. The worst part? Copy-pasting job descriptions into ChatGPT over and over.
What I built:
An AI tool where you just type "Google Software Engineer" and it:
1. Automatically searches the web for the job posting
2. Analyzes the requirements
3. Generates a tailored cover letter in ~30 seconds
No copy-pasting job descriptions. That's the main differentiator.
I also added:
- Resume scorer (0-100 with feedback)
- Auto-branded templates (pulls company logo + colors)
Tech stack:
- Next.js + TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Supabase (auth + database)
- Stripe (payments)
- Anthropic Claude API (the AI magic)
- Hosted on Vercel
Pricing:
- Free: 1 cover letter/month
- $8/month (undercutting competitors at $15-29/month)
Where I'm at:
- Just launched
- Running small Reddit Ads campaign ($5/day)
- Working on YouTube Shorts for organic growth
What I'd love feedback on:
- Landing page clarity (pathwiseai.io)
- Pricing structure
- Any features you'd want as a job seeker
Happy to answer any questions about the build or share what I've learned so far!

Congratulations on your launch. It looks impressive! What channels are you exploring to attract early users?

Thank you! I am trying to post on all relevant directories and social media pages.

That's a wise decision to start with. While directories and social media posts can enhance your visibility, engaging with communities often provides more valuable feedback. Have you tried using Reddit for this purpose? If not, I can share some common strategies that founders use to market their tools on Reddit.

Yeah I am also trying reddit, but would love any tips on how to market better.

That's great! Many people try Reddit but tend to treat it like any other social media feed, which is often why it doesn't lead to conversions.
What generally works better is not directly marketing the product, but instead starting discussions about the specific problem your tool addresses. For example, you could:
- Ask how others currently handle a particular issue.
- Share a small insight you discovered while developing the tool.
- Post a "before vs. after" workflow (without including links initially).
In the beginning, the goal isn't to generate traffic; it's to discover which angles encourage comments, saves, and follow-up questions. Once you identify those angles, introducing the product will feel more natural rather than overly promotional.
If you'd like, I can review your product and suggest 2-3 specific subreddits along with post angles that you can test first. This usually helps eliminate a lot of guesswork.
