Proj 3: AI Product 

Project 3: AI Workflow

Scenario: Red Circle Consulting

• You are a team of interns at Red Circle Consulting, a company that helps clients automate their workflows and make data-driven decisions using AI.

• Your client, Pathfind Careers, is a small career-coaching and recruiting startup that helps job seekers identify roles that fit their skills and experience. Pathfind wants to automate parts of their consulting process using AI, making it easier and faster to guide clients toward suitable job opportunities.

• Your team will design and present a prototype tool that demonstrates how AI can support both the candidate and career advisor in the job search process.

Your Mission

Create an AI workflow in n8n for a mutli-agent system with agents working in sequence that:

1. 1. Analyzes a candidate’s CV, résumé, or personal website to extract skills, job titles, and experience.

   2. Engages the candidate in a conversation to clarify missing / unclear information

   3. Searches for relevant job opportunities via Adzuna API, matching the candidate’s profile and preferences.

   4. Produces a summary output, showing:

      1. A list of top-fit job openings

      2. Key skills matched or missing

   5. Create a Value-Added Feature:  Use the generated list of viable jobs in some productive way that adds value for the client or customers/users

      1. Your team should discuss this early on as a part of your team’s planning sessions; what is that you want to do, and how does it enhance the overall value of your product? 

      2. How you divide up the work that needs to be done between your agents is up to you and based on your problem decomposition. Part of the project involves determining what the agents can and should be doing.

Deliverables

Presentations will be during class according to schedule. Unless otherwise specified, all work is due by then as described below. 

1. AI Workflow Prototype (n8n, downloaded .json file) -  Up to step 4 , all students must submit this individually (Due 04/03/2026, 12:00 PM)
   [Updated Mon 4/6]  The individual component is worth up to 15 points / 35, similar to the previous project.
   A working n8n workflow showing the automated process — from CV upload to job recommendations.
   Use sample data: the best way to try it out is with your own CV/Resume, as you will be best equipped to see the quality of recommendations.
   
   Submit:

   • Every member must create their own version of this (submitting your own .json file by April 2nd 2026), before the team converges on a shared final version.

   • Your final group version, along with your own version, must both be linked on your course website page for Project 3, along with a brief description and summary of differences.
     
     

2. Presentation (8 minutes, including a short demo. The 8 minutes does not include the question and answer time.)
   You will pitch your prototype to a non-technical audience of clients from Pathfind Careers, who will evaluate your prototype for its usefulness, clarity, and potential for real-world application.
   [Updated Mon 4/6]  The presentation component is worth up to 15 points / 35, similar to the previous project.
   Your presentation should include:

• A brief overview of the client problem and your proposed solution

• A live walkthrough of your AI workflow

• A clear explanation of how automation saves time, improves efficiency, or enhances customer experience

• Demonstrates added value
  
  

Submit your group's presentation slide deck by posting it on your course website page for Project 3.

3. STAR Story
   Submit your STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) story by posting it on your course website page for Project 3, indicating how YOU contributed to your team’s efforts.
   [Updated Mon 4/6]  The individual component is worth up to 5 points / 35, similar to the previous project. It must be submitted by the class on the presentation day.

Tips for Success

• Keep the user journey clear — how does the job seeker move through your system?

• Use mock CVs and sample job listings for testing.

• Make your prototype interactive enough to demonstrate value, even if some components are simulated.

• Think like a consultant — focus on automation impact and client value, not just tech.
