About PrepPilot
PrepPilot is an AI-powered job search platform built to make career advancement accessible to everyone. We combine 6 AI models, 20+ features, and a privacy-first architecture so you can land your dream job without draining your wallet.
Our Story
PrepPilot was founded by Opeoluwa Giwa, a software engineer who experienced firsthand how stressful and time-consuming the modern job search process can be. After spending hours tailoring resumes, writing cover letters, and preparing for interviews, it became clear that AI could transform this entire process.
The problem was that most AI career tools were locked behind expensive subscriptions, often charging $100 to $200 per month for features that could be built more efficiently. PrepPilot was created to change that.
Built from the ground up with Rust and Svelte, PrepPilot is a desktop application that keeps your data local, lets you bring your own API keys, and gives you access to the same AI models the expensive tools use, without the markup.
The Problem
Job seekers spend 11 hours per week on average searching and applying for jobs. AI tools that could help are often too expensive or raise privacy concerns.
The Solution
A local-first desktop app with your choice of 6 AI models, transparent pricing, and a feature set that rivals tools costing 10x more.
Our Mission
Democratize access to AI-powered career tools. No expensive subscriptions, no hidden fees, no data harvesting. Just powerful tools that anyone can use to advance their career, regardless of their budget.
