Next Chapter Skills · AI product studio · Bengaluru, India
We build AI products that get you hired.
The hiring process changed faster than the tools built to get through it. We're building three products to catch it up. First one's the resume.

Products
The three things we're building
Each one tackles a different reason candidates don't get hired: resumes that never get past the filter, skills that don't come through in an interview, or not knowing what to learn next.
ApplicantSpace
Early access openYour resume, tailored to every job
One master resume. Any job description. A tailored, ATS-optimized version in under a minute — clean, keyword-matched, and true to what you actually did.

- One-click ATS-ready export to PDF or DOCX
Project Vertex
Coming soonThe developer fingerprint engine
A technical assessment platform that looks at how a candidate thinks, not just whether the code compiles. Logic patterns, behavioral signals, and fraud-proof proctoring built in.
- Tracks keystrokes, compile events, and logic flow — not just the final output
- Multi-environment, fraud-proof proctoring for remote assessment
- Instant candidate ranking and scoring
- Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript support
NextStep

Checks your skills against live hiring demand, scores your Industry Deployment Readiness, and flags whichever skill gap is costing you the most.
- Assess: scores your current skill level
- Market match: cross-references live hiring signals against it
- Industry Deployment Readiness Score (IDRS)
- Continuous skill-gap detection as the market shifts
How we build
Our products are built by the people they're for
We hire early-career engineers to work on the products directly, bring in mentors from companies like TCS, Accenture, and IBM, and run hackathons and build sprints to pressure-test what we're making before it ships.
Internal internships
Early-career engineers work directly in the ApplicantSpace, Project Vertex, and NextStep codebases from day one.
Startup Factory
We cover hosting and infra for strong internal projects and push them to production. All three of our products started here.
Industry mentorship
Engineers and managers from TCS, Accenture, IBM, Cognizant, and Bosch review our roadmap and our people.
Gen AI build sprints
Internal workshops that keep the team current — the output is shipped product improvements, not certificates.
National hackathons
Our products get stress-tested against outside builders before they reach a single paying user.
Career support
Everyone who passes through the pipeline leaves with a verifiable track record — and most stay on the team.
Vision
500 million people are about to enter a workforce that isn't ready for them
78% of graduates end up in jobs below what they're actually capable of. It's less an ability problem than a tooling one — the systems that filter, assess, and place people haven't kept up. We're building the products aimed at that gap.
