105 posts matched our search in the 7 days to Oct 15, 2026; the top matching posts drew 298 likes, 20 reposts and 43 replies.

What people are posting (in our words)

The business below is our own idea for solving this problem, not a company described in these posts.

Who it’s for

Job seekers, career coaches and bootcamps.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Start with one city, niche or customer type, then expand.
  • Ask your first 10 customers what they would pay before you build more.
  • Keep a human check on anything that is sent in a customer’s name.

Step by step

  1. Build a simple tracker with an AI app builder: company, role, date, contact, stage.
  2. Add reminders at day 7 and day 14 after each application or interview.
  3. Have AI draft a short, specific follow-up for each one.
  4. Offer a free tier and a paid plan by Stripe.
  5. Share it in job-seeker subreddits and LinkedIn, following each group’s rules.
  6. Partner with career coaches who recommend it to clients.

Ready-to-copy prompt

What they did

A simple app that tracks every application, reminds you when to follow up and drafts the follow-up note. We designed this business around a problem people post about on X; it is an idea, not a report of an existing company.
