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.
