Hack #1: Firecrawl · Firecrawl

Job hunting is one of those things everyone complains about but nobody fixes. You spend hours finding the right company, writing the right words, reaching out — and most of the time, nothing comes back. So during this hackathon, my team built PitchAgent. You type your goal. It searches the web for real companies — not job boards, actual startups. It reads what they do. Writes a pitch specific to them. Then speaks it out loud, ready to deliver. The whole thing runs in under 30 seconds. The part that surprised me wasn't the tech. It was realizing how much of job hunting is just friction — and how much of that friction is removable. We used Firecrawl for real-time web search and ElevenAgents for the voice layer. Two tools. One weekend. One working demo. Still a lot to improve. But it works. And it made me think differently about what "applying for a job" even means. Building in public. More soon.
