How it works
Four steps per application: gate → CV → letter → email. Every claim cited to your own evidence. Your voice on every page.
Omoikane is built around one repeating loop, run once per job posting you care about.
1 · The match gate
Paste a posting → URL, full text, or screenshot. Omoikane reads it, scores it against your real CV, and tells you in one number whether it’s worth the next two hours.
- Below 50%: it stops. Explains why. Saves you the hours.
- 50–70%: it shows you the partial matches and the gaps, and asks if you want to continue anyway. Gaps are normal. The cover letter is where they get addressed.
- 70%+: it moves to step 2.
The gate is permission to walk away. That’s the most important word: permission. Every weak fit you skip is energy banked for the strong ones.
2 · The tailored CV
One page. ATS-friendly. Every claim cites a specific line from your own materials — your master CV, past letters, prior projects. Nothing invented.
You can edit any line before approving. The draft is a starting point, not a final answer.
When you approve it, Omoikane renders the PDF and stores it in your library, tagged with the company and posting.
3 · The cover letter
Drafted from your own writing samples — old letters, emails, project notes. Your voice, not AI voice.
If a paragraph contains a claim that isn’t supported by your evidence, the system asks you rather than inventing.
The result reads like you wrote it after a good night’s sleep — direct, warm, no corporate cheerfulness.
4 · The application email
Subject, body, recipient, attachments. Reviewed in a single screen. Sent from your own email account (Gmail, Outlook, IMAP) — Omoikane just composes and tracks; the send goes through your existing infrastructure so reply threading works correctly.
Every application is logged: when, to whom, with which CV version, with which letter version. The library remembers everything so you don’t have to.
What’s between the steps
A few small things that make a real difference for tired humans.
- Energy check — at the start of any draft session, you tell Omoikane how you’re feeling. Three buttons: ready / tired / depleted. The drafting plan adapts. Tired-mode chunks are 15–20 minutes, one decision at a time.
- Decision moments — explicit prompts at the points where most people drift (“Apply now? Save? Skip?”). No background-pressure to keep going.
- Honest gaps — when something genuinely doesn’t fit, the letter says it once, plainly, and moves on. No padding.
- Diary — a private, per-user log of what you’ve tried, what didn’t work, what you’re learning. Feeds back into future drafts so the system keeps getting better at sounding like you.
