Freelancing is a job. Finding it shouldn't be another one.
Zonisoft CareerPilot exists because the gap between contracts is the worst part of working for yourself — and almost none of it is skilled work.
Why this exists
Ask any freelancer where their week goes and you'll hear the same answer: not enough of it went to billable work. A chunk vanished into job boards. Another chunk went to rewriting the same CV for the fourth time that month. And somewhere in there, a promising lead went cold because nobody followed up.
None of that is the work you trained for. It's administration with a deadline attached — and it scales badly, because the more contracts you chase, the more of it there is.
So we built the thing we wanted: one workspace where the CV rewrites itself against the role and every application stays visible until it's resolved.
Who it's for
Freelancers, contractors and independent professionals — wherever you happen to be working from. Developers, designers, writers, marketers, analysts, consultants. The specifics differ; the tedium is identical.
It's particularly useful if you apply across industries or borders, where the same experience must be presented differently for each audience.
What we believe
Your data is yours, and consent means asking first. Nothing about your CV reaches an external AI provider until you explicitly allow it, and you can withdraw that permission whenever you like. Your address, phone number and email are stripped out before anything is sent — the AI doesn't need them to describe your work. We think a pre-ticked box isn't consent, so we don't use one.
AI should sound like you, not like AI. Generic output is obvious, and recruiters have learned to spot it fast. That's why you set the rules — how much to write, which experience leads, whether to add skills at all — and the AI works inside them. It's a tool that drafts, not a machine that replaces your judgement. Read what it writes before you send it.
No subscription traps. You buy credits when you need them. Nothing renews in the background, nothing charges you during a quiet month, and cancelling isn't a thing you have to remember to do. We'd rather you came back because it's useful.
Say the awkward part out loud. Credits aren't refundable — we pay AI providers per request the moment you spend one. Rather than hide that in clause 14, we give every account a free trial so you can judge the product before spending anything. If it doesn't fit your workflow, we'd honestly rather you found out for free.
How we build
Small, deliberate, and in public view of the people using it. There's a suggestion box inside the app that a human actually reads — several of the features here started as a sentence somebody typed into it while annoyed.
We're not trying to become a social network for careers, or an everything-platform. The scope is narrow on purpose: tailor the CV and track the outcome. Do those properly and get out of your way.
Where we're going
Better tailoring and fewer clicks between spotting a role and having something worth sending. The direction is set by what people ask for most, which is why the suggestion box matters more than our roadmap.
If something's missing or broken, tell us. It's a small team — your message gets read.
Consent first
External AI stays off until you switch it on. One click to withdraw.
No lock-in
Credits, not subscriptions. Nothing renews behind your back.
We read the inbox
A suggestion box a human checks, and a contact form that reaches us.
