Love this! A couple years ago I had to do similar for my grandma (94 at the time) who was losing her hearing as well as short term memory loss. Was surprised how few off the shelf options there were.
Had to write a medium article with exact instructions for how to use it otherwise she was very skeptical of using it. The only issue was that she would sometimes read aloud which would enter her into a feedback loop lol.

My grandma has consistently lost her hearing and has lost most of her short term memory. We have been using Ava for transcription as she can read quickly and comprehend, however reading her own response confuses her. One solution is to have the conversant wear AirPods so the mic only picks up their voice. Curious what the SOTA is for voice isolation or hiding members of the conversation. I...
Building out a parsing bot for interview and recruiter emails. What feature would be most useful?

Thanks for pointing this out. Should be fixed now!
Thanks for sharing. I think this is because we just transferred the app to account.kiter.app whereas previously it was simply kiter.app, but I forgot to update on Oauth. Thanks for pointing this out, it should be fixed now!
Is this because you're worried about security or integration? Just curious as the reason. We initially added it to make it easier for users, but still offer traditional sign up.
Thanks for pointing this out! I think this stems from a program we use to scrape company logos off of their names/links. When you put in the Linkedin link it triggered an error. We have a case handler for that but it isn't always 100% effective. I just replicated it on my own account and it seemed to work. It is possible it is the firefox as well as we have had some issues on there.
If you email me at [email protected] I can help further!
Exactly. Our longterm goal is to not just help with the job you are applying to currently, but to help you get your next job as well.
Someone found a workaround in our mobile demo and was adding lots of new applications! All hands on deck to fix the issue! Appreciate the stress testing @everyone
Good points. We are both avid kite surfers so did some word magic to come up with Kiter. We also wanted to emulate the image of having a string from your kite so you can have control. A tether from the traditional spray and pray method of applications to something grounded. But being a word wasn't high on our criteria list. For example Uber and Spanx both aren't words.
By private we meant that there is no social aspect of the product. We don't ever share user's name email etc. unless you opt to share it with recruiters at the companies you are applying to.
