AI-Powered Job Application Autofill & Management Suite
The user is actively building a valuable SaaS solution that addresses a significant pain point for job seekers: the tedious and time-consuming process of filling out countless job applications. A browser extension with intelligent autofill capabilities, integrated with a web platform for managing applications, tracking progress, and potentially even tailoring resumes/cover letters (as implied by 'job search platform'), offers immense value. The niche is 'efficient, high-volume job application management for active job seekers.' This SaaS could save users hours of manual data entry, increase application volume, improve organization, reduce application fatigue, and potentially lead to higher interview rates due to better tracking and tailoring. Revenue could be generated via monthly subscription fees based on features or application volume, targeting a broad market of job seekers and career changers.

I don't think you can expect people to prepay for something that doesn't exist yet - most people even expect a free tier to try the product before handing over a dollar. Your waitlist and sig

Solid, thanks. I'm not agree with everything, because especially in these cases exist 'pivots', but appreciate your opinion
