Job hunting here is exhausting in a way that is hard to explain to someone who has not done it.

You spend a Sunday afternoon polishing your CV, upload it to three portals, and then nothing. You follow up, still nothing. You ask a cousin who knows someone at that company, they say they will talk to the person, two months pass and you are still waiting. Meanwhile rent is due and the job you settled for is slowly draining you.

The thing I kept noticing is that everyone around me was spending serious time and energy trying to figure out stuff that should not be that hard. How to write a CV that does not get ignored. How to answer that interview question about your greatest weakness without sounding like you googled it. Which companies are actually hiring versus which ones just leave job posts up forever.

And everyone has WhatsApp open all day. Everyone.

So I thought, what if the career assistant just lived there? No app to download. No new account to create and forget. No portal with a broken upload button. Just a conversation, on the app already on your phone.

That is Maya. You message her on WhatsApp, she helps you build your CV, prep for interviews, understand what roles actually match your background, and think through your next move. She talks to you like a person, not like a form you are filling in.

I built this over a few weekends. Some things are definitely broken and honestly I would love to find out where, because that is exactly the information I need right now. Where does it stop making sense? Where does it feel frustrating? What would actually make this useful enough that you would tell a friend about it?

Pricing is KES 100 per session. Cheaper than a CV writing service, cheaper than most matatu fares across town, and you do not have to leave your house.

If you try it, tell me what broke. That is more valuable to me than encouragement right now.

Roast and Try out Maya

I built an AI career assistant that lives in WhatsApp. Kenyans, tell me what you think.
