The premise
Teens learn from doing applications themselves; AI helps you coach without taking over.
What AI does well here
- Suggest questions to ask your teen vs. answers to give
- Draft feedback prompts for their resume/cover letter
- Surface coaching framings for setbacks (rejection, no callbacks)
What AI cannot do
- Write the application
- Replace the teen's voice with a polished version
- Get them the job
