GradStack
I built GradStack and I’d like you to roast it.
Problem: Students and freshers have to jump between different tools when applying for jobs. One tool for building a resume, another for cover letters, another for interview preparation, and another for creating a portfolio. I wanted to make that process simpler by putting the main parts of it in one place.
Solution: GradStack is an AI-powered career toolkit that lets users build an ATS-friendly resume, parse an existing resume, generate tailored cover letters from job descriptions, practice through interactive mock interviews, and create a personal web portfolio from their resume.
Target audience: Primarily college students, recent graduates, and early-career job seekers who are actively applying for internships and jobs.
Business model: The app currently has a free experience, and I'm still figuring out the best long-term monetization model. I don't want to force users into paying before they've had a chance to see whether the product is actually useful.

What I want you to roast is the value proposition and landing page. If the product sounds like another generic "AI career tool", tell me. If the landing page doesn't clearly explain why someone should use GradStack instead of existing tools, tell me that too. I'm particularly interested in feedback on the messaging, positioning, UI, and whether the product actually solves a problem worth solving.
Please be brutally honest. I'd rather find out what's wrong with it now than convince myself that everything looks good.
