01 / SecondSelf
What if the search
had a second you?
A companion for the work of finding your next chapter.
I built SecondSelf with an ambition: search for jobs and prepare applications the way I would. The journey starts with what I have actually done.
Leave the room ↓02 / A place to begin
Start with
what is true.
Experience is evidence, not raw material for invention.
SecondSelf retrieves verified project, skill and experience records. The companion and landscape are fictional; no private knowledge entries or personal applications appear here.
03 / Two ways to find it
Two paths.
One search.
Exact terms and related experience both matter.
Hybrid search combines lexical and semantic candidates. Gentle reranking changes their order without turning a weak match into a new fact.
Lexical search finds exact skills and project terms.
04 / Before the draft
Plausible is
not enough.
Unsupported material has to leave.
The evidence check comes before drafting. Inspect these illustrative categories to see what can enter the packet and what cannot.
Supported records keep their provenance. Unsupported claims are removed before drafting.
05 / The prepared work
Bring something
worth reading.
Evidence becomes a reviewable application packet.
The draft keeps its provenance. Preparation is a stored process with an artifact to inspect, rather than a hidden browser step.
06 / Durable human review
The way home
is part of the work.
The pause belongs to the system.
The completed packet enters the human review queue. Waiting is durable state, so it can survive a restart or a long delay. The system does not send silently.
07 / The decision is yours
This part
needs you.
Try a decision in this local illustration.
You can approve, return for revision, or reject the prepared work. These controls rehearse the review boundary; they never send an application or message.
Awaiting your decision in this illustration. Nothing has been sent.
08 / Assistance with a boundary
Help that leaves
you in charge.
Preparation can be automated. Representation needs authority.
SecondSelf recorded 0.9753 faithfulness on a 20-question internal RAGAS evaluation on 14 May 2026. That measures the retrieval-answer path, not job outcomes.
What this world is based on
The published case-study record references committed safe evaluation and preparation fixtures at 4a1447c. This illustration contains no private knowledge, applications, email or Telegram content.
The real outbound review queue uses Telegram. The room and envelope are editorial metaphors, not a reproduction of that interface.
