So I did.

Vektr is a job-search tool I took from idea to live beta in under a month, with Claude as my engineering team. I’ve never written production software. I have spent a career getting talented people to build the right thing.

What it does

Stop digging. Start deciding.

Job searching means reading hundreds of postings to find the few worth your time. Vektr does the reading. It isn’t a job board, and it won’t apply for you: choosing where to put your best foot forward stays yours.

Vektr Scan

Forward the job alerts already flooding your inbox. Vektr reads every posting so you don’t have to.

Vektr Score

Each role is judged against what matters to you, and Vektr explains its reasoning instead of handing you a mystery number.

Vektr Relay

Good roles reach you, and you can pass them on to people they’d suit. A job search where people actually help each other.

How I built it

I ran it like a marketing department.

The skills that build a creative team turned out to be the skills that direct AI: a clear brief, defined roles, honest review, and someone accountable for the whole.

  1. One lead, one owner

    A single lead conversation runs the work and hands tasks to specialists. I make the calls and own what ships.

  2. Structured intake

    Every idea becomes a ticket with a priority and a source, the same way creative requests came into my team.

  3. A decisions log

    More than a hundred numbered decisions, so nobody relitigates what’s settled and anyone can see why.

  4. Review gates

    Nothing reaches users without passing testing, a guardian review, and a staging environment first.

Why it matters for your team.

AI is changing how marketing and communications get done. I didn’t watch that from the sidelines. I moved my own team onto new tools and new ways of working, AI included, then built Vektr to see how far the approach could go. I know where AI earns its place, where it needs a human, and how to set up the work so people and tools each do what they’re best at.
