Show HN: Represent Me – AI proxy for job seekers with inline fact-verification
https://www.represent-me.ai/
I’m a senior technologist who spent 20 days building a way to kill the "initial phone screen" human-captcha.
Most AI resume tools are just wrappers. I wanted something that actually built trust, so I built a verification engine. When you train your Representative on your history, you attest to specific skills and dates.
When the AI talks to a recruiter, it uses a custom renderer to "stamp" verified claims with a shield badge in real-time. If the AI says I have 10 years of experience in Postgres, it's not a hallucination; it's a data-backed claim tied to my account attestation.
It also handles "Identity Gating"—recruiters have to verify via LinkedIn before they can grab your PDF resume or personal contact info.
Tech: Next.js 16, Supabase (with PG Vector), and Vercel AI SDK.
I'd love a technical roast of:
The verification UX: is self-attestation with a timestamp enough for you to trust a candidate?
The "Representative" concept vs. a traditional static portfolio.
Security of the LinkedIn gate.
I’ll be checking in all day to answer questions.

Update: I’ve seen quite a few people hitting the sign-up flow but bouncing at the email verification. I totally get the friction of creating yet another account just to see if a tool works.
To show you the "Inline Verification" and "Identity Gating" in action without requiring a sign-up, I’ve set up a Demo Representative for a fictional Principal Engineer named Alex.
You can chat with the demo here: https://www.represent-me.ai/chat/alex-rivers
What to look for:
Ask about Alex's experience with Postgres or Next.js. You'll see green shields next to the facts Alex has explicitly attested to in the dashboard.
Try to view the Contact Info or Download Resume. You'll see the LinkedIn Identity Gate that recruiters use to identify themselves.
I'm an engineer, not a marketer, so I'd love a technical roast of the verification logic and the "Time-to-Truth" for recruiters.
I've noticed a few people hitting the sign-up flow and checking the privacy docs. I'm a solo dev and I take data privacy seriously—I'm not selling anything, and you can delete your data/account with one click in the settings. If you're hesitant to use your main email, feel free to use a burner just to test the Verification logic!
I love the idea of fighting the asymmetric hiring process with more tools for the candidate. I'm not sure how recruiters will feel though.
I wonder what percentage will just "nope" out of interacting with it?

Fair enough. To expand on that: you’re right, there is a friction hurdle. But we’re betting that the time-to-truth is more valuable to a recruiter than the 60 seconds it takes to chat with a Rep. If the Rep can verify a candidate’s salary requirements and technical stack in 2 minutes, it saves the recruiter a 30-minute wasted phone screen. That’s the ROI we’re aiming for.
