Built with AI
Intro

Cairn

An AI career companion that doesn't just give advice — it plans the move you're actually trying to make and gives you a step-by-step path with daily tasks.

The itch

Why I built it

Career coaching has always been advice without a calendar. Friends get told to "build a strong network" or "reposition the resume" and then go home with no clue what Monday looks like. I wanted to see whether a specialist that PLANS, not just listens, would change how people actually move.

The making

How it came together

Eight specialist companions — recruiter, negotiator, executive coach, and so on. You pick the move (land a senior role, negotiate the offer, switch industries, break into product) and get a real plan back: stages, daily tasks, the meeting you have to take this week. Each companion has its own system prompt and a long-lived thread per goal, so context survives between sessions.

The takeaway

What it taught me

Generic advice fails because it doesn't survive Wednesday. The product people return to is the one that tells them what to do today.
