Built an application to automate resume creation using generative AI. The application processes casual or unstructured user inputs such as basic details on education, work experience, profession, and skills. The application later transforms it into a professionally formatted resume in Word format. Users can download and edit the document as needed. The system is designed to understand informal language, extract relevant information, and generate polished summaries, making the resume-building process faster and more accessible.
Built an application to analyse and improve users' presentation skills. The application tracks body posture, detects common speech habits and body pose gestures done during presentations, and provides live feedback on body language. After recording, users can review and download their video, audio, and speech transcript, make quick edits, and generate improved versions of their speech based on preferences like fluency, length, or formality. Using generative AI, it also generates potential audience questions and provides a detailed performance report summarizing the presentation with actionable advice for improvement.
