Find your next ikigai.
A job tool that reads every posting for you and scores it on four questions: what you love, what you're good at, what's needed, and what pays. A few good matches at a time, each with the reason.
Private beta, by invitation.

Why I built this
For anyone who feels their life has stopped (the dot), I hope you find your next (the chevron) ikigai here.
I spent two years desperate for work during COVID-19, and I've kept looking for my own ikigai in every way I can since. This is one of those ways. If it helps you find a good next step, that's the point.

How it works
You give it your profile once. It reads job postings for you and throws away the ones that break your rules. The rest are scored on the four ikigai questions, and only the jobs that hold up on every one reach you.
- 1You describe yourselfYour CV, what you love, what you will not accept, and the pay that would work.
- 2It reads postingsEvery posting is read in full. Languages outside your profile are skipped.
- 3Your rules go firstWrong pay, wrong contract, wrong place: dropped at once, with the reason kept.
- 4Four questions, scored 1 to 5Love, good at, needed, paid. Every circle must reach 3. A strong one cannot cover a weak one.
- 5You get a short listA few jobs, each with the reason behind every score. You decide and you apply.
What step 5 looks like, with made-up companies
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't apply for you. You read everything and press apply yourself.
- It can be wrong. A score is a second opinion, and each one shows its reasons so you can disagree.
- It doesn't promise you a job.
- It reads postings in English, Thai and Japanese for now. Other languages are skipped.
- It's a small beta built by one person, so things will break.
Your data
- Your CV and ratings stay in your own account. Nobody else can see them, including other users.
- I won't open your data unless you ask me to help.
- Your data isn't used to train an AI model. The AI services I use will be named on the privacy page.
- You can delete everything whenever you want.
The privacy page and terms are being written and will be ready before the first invite.

I'm inviting a few people at a time, so I can fix things as they break.
