TechHerAI is a nonprofit platform built to support women in tech—especially recent graduates navigating an increasingly competitive job market. As layoffs ripple through the industry, breaking into tech has become even harder for those already underrepresented. That’s why we created TechHerAI.

Harnessing the power of AI and large language models, we developed a suite of free, intelligent tools to help women land their dream tech jobs. Our platform focuses on three core features:

1. Interactive Mock Interviews

Our AI-driven system simulates real-world interviews with behavioral, technical, and resume-based questions. After each session, candidates receive detailed feedback, question-level scores, improvement suggestions, and AI-generated sample answers—helping users refine their responses and build lasting confidence.

2. Resume-Based Cover Letter Generator

Crafting tailored cover letters is one of the biggest challenges in job applications. Our AI-powered generator analyzes users’ resumes and job descriptions to create professional, personalized cover letters—boosting application quality while saving time and effort.

3. AI-Powered Job Board

Instead of overwhelming users with scattered listings, our smart job board aggregates tech roles from multiple sources into one streamlined experience. With filters for role, skills, and location, plus personalized job ranking based on user behavior, the board becomes smarter and more useful over time.

To further support users, we’ve invited experienced engineers to serve as free mentors—offering guidance, resume feedback, and interview coaching.

To ensure quality, we fine-tuned the DeepSeek model using curated resume–job description pairs with supervised learning and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). Built with Python, FastAPI, and Hugging Face, the system was tested by 30 users and showed measurable gains in semantic alignment and answer fluency.

TechHerAI is more than just tools—it’s a mission-driven, scalable solution that combines applied NLP with a supportive community, empowering women to grow and succeed in tech.
