Career OS vs ChatGPT resume prompts: what we are building instead
ChatGPT is a general writer. Litgo is a job-specific Career OS. A founder note on why end-to-end applications need decide + package + exports — not another chat transcript.
Different jobs to be done
ChatGPT (and similar assistants) are excellent for brainstorming wording when you already know the facts. They are a weak default for “build my entire application for this JD” because the model optimizes for helpful-sounding text, not verified employment history.
Litgo constrains the problem: one career profile, one job description, an apply decision, then a package that must not invent experience.
What a Career OS adds
Persistent profile across many applications.
Fit and gap classification before rewrite.
Rewrite + cover letter + interview prep from the same facts.
Exports ready to submit, plus pipeline tracking — not a chat you reformat by hand.
When to use which
Use a general assistant to explore phrasing or practice answers once your facts are locked. Use Litgo when you need apply/skip clarity and a submit-ready Apply Package for a specific role.

How we want to be evaluated
Judge Litgo on honesty of the fit signal, usefulness of the package, and whether rewrites stay within your real career. Do not trust any tool — including us — that leans on invented aggregate ratings or guaranteed outcomes.
