AI-Powered Offer Letter Analysis: Building Offer X-Ray

Offer X-Ray is an AI-powered platform that transforms how job seekers evaluate offer letters. The idea came from a personal mistake I made that I never want anyone else to repeat.

I received a job offer and, in my excitement, I didn't thoroughly review the details. It wasn't until later that I realized my notice period was 2 months—much longer than I expected. Even worse, there was no mention of leaves in the offer letter, and it had completely slipped my mind to check these critical details. By the time I noticed, I had already accepted the offer.

That experience made me realize how easy it is to miss important details in offer letters when you're excited about a new opportunity. I decided to build Offer X-Ray so that no one else would make the same mistake I did.

The Challenge

Offer letters are complex documents with:

- Multiple compensation components (base, bonus, equity)

- Complex benefits packages

- Legal terms and conditions

- Risk factors that aren't immediately obvious

Most people don't have the expertise to fully evaluate these documents, leading to poor decisions.

The Solution

Offer X-Ray uses AI to:

1. Parse and extract key information from offer letters

2. Analyze compensation packages comprehensively

3. Assess risks and identify potential issues

4. Provide negotiation guidance with strategies and talking points

5. Generate detailed reports for comparison

Privacy-First Approach

All document processing happens securely, and documents are never stored permanently. This was crucial for building trust with users handling sensitive information.

Technical Stack

- Next.js for the frontend

- OpenAI GPT-4 for document understanding

- Secure client-side processing

- Real-time analysis with instant results

Impact

The platform helps job seekers make informed decisions in under 5 minutes, something that would typically take hours of research and analysis.
