The page is the conversation now

The video and the CV used to come first, with a chat bubble waiting in the corner. Now the conversation is the page.

The page

  • One screen. The agent opens by asking what brought you here and offers four doors — hiring, could he help us, how this was made, just browsing. Pick one and it asks a sharper follow-up instead of handing you a menu.
  • No intro to sit through. On launch day seven in ten visitors left while the agent was still introducing itself; now you can ask the moment you land.
  • Answers arrive as they're written, a few words at a time, instead of making you watch a spinner for six seconds.
  • The suggested follow-ups after each answer are shaped by what was just said, not a fixed list.
  • You can book a call without leaving the page — the calendar opens over the conversation, and the agent confirms it in the chat when you're done.
  • Paste a job posting and it tells you where I fit and where I don't. Describe a problem and it says whether it looks like a project or a hire.

A short tour

  • New: emre.build/how. It opens up the CV and shows the parts that make it run — the real chats visitors have had, the numbers from launch day, the daily report I wake up to. Plain language, nothing to decode.

What I fixed

  • Answers were going missing. If the connection dropped while the agent was replying — a closed tab, a phone going to sleep — the reply could vanish before it was saved. Seven of the first eighteen real questions ended up recorded with a question and no answer. The reply is now kept however the connection ends, and an answer that never arrives is logged as exactly that instead of disappearing.
  • If something does break mid-answer you now see it, and the part already written stays on screen.

What I can finally see

  • A booking is tied to the conversation that led to it, so I know what someone asked before they picked a time — not just that a slot got filled.
  • Every booking becomes a real entry in my list. Before, the strongest signal on the page could pass through and leave nothing behind.
  • The dashboard now counts real visitors. The build happens on a dev server and preview links only I open, and they were quietly landing in the same analytics as real recruiters — about a fifth of "visits" were me testing, plus a handful of crawler bots. Those are excluded at the source now, and the past ones were cleaned out.
  • The funnel counts what people actually do: visited → engaged → asked a question → wanted a call → booked. Each stage is a subset of the one above it, so the numbers add up (an earlier version could claim a step converted at 196%).
  • Building in public means the numbers I share should be trustworthy first.

A CV that answers back

Launch. A CV that answers back, and ships like a real product.

The page

  • The page opens on a short looping video with the agent inside it. It speaks first, introduces me in a few lines, then opens the chat on its own.
  • It offers three things to talk about: this page, my past work, or what I could build for you. The first three questions you can tap match those.
  • This changelog is public. The little version number at the bottom brings you here, and there's a feedback box on every screen.

The agent

  • It answers only from my real work, in your language, and it'll point to where a claim comes from.
  • If it doesn't know something, it says so and saves the question. I teach it the answer for next time instead of letting it guess.
  • Ask about pay and it turns the question around: it asks what the role budgets, and passes that to me.
  • Applying to a specific job? A personal link lets the agent read that posting and answer how I fit it, point by point.
  • Interested? It can hand the whole conversation to me. It just needs your name and an email or LinkedIn.
  • Want a normal CV? It gives you the PDF right away, no catch.
