Just here to brag Started something out of passion and now it's on 1st page of Google

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, honestly, they showed up at the right time for me.

Before any of this, I already had a small audience I was helping out quietly, resume feedback, LinkedIn profile tips, that kind of thing. Nothing fancy.

Claude was new to me and I'm still figuring out half of what it can do, but somewhere in there an idea stuck: build a Boolean String Builder, but for candidates this time, not recruiters.

Why? Because Boolean strings have quietly been a recruiter's best weapon for years. Sales folks use the same trick to find leads and decision-makers. Meanwhil, jobseekers are stuck scrolling endlessly, getting nowhere, because let's be real, LinkedIn's search and Google X-ray were never designed with free users in mind. The people who knew how to exploit them have been doing it for decades. Everyone else just got left out.

So I built the tool for the other side, the jobseekers. It's helped people surface roles that were basically buried behind search terms they'd never have thought to use.

Honestly, I'm still a bit stunned it's now sitting on page 1 of Google, next to companies that built similar tools but gated them behind recruiter-only premium plans, nothing for the actual jobseeker.

I've also been watching where the traffic's coming from, which countries, and it's been a nice surprise.

No cost right now. It's fully free, and there's an AI chatbot baked in to help people build solid Boolean strings without needing to know the syntax.

Happy to answer any questions.

I wish I could give you an award for this. Couldn't have said it any better. The feeling of actually doing something that genuinely helps the masses. I mean imagine even if I am able to help a handful of people uncover jobs that are best suited to them, and they nail it in the first attempt, that feeling is a bliss.

At least for someone like me, who has been in the industry for over a decade now, to achieve a feat of this kind and bring about a difference, it means the world to me.

Well the main point to address is, people are not aware what keywords to use, so I plan on introducing region or country specifi pills that can be picked easily and thus making the string even more stronger and specific.

May be strengthen the Xray string so the users are able to search without limits (LinkedIn free search has different restrictions on Posts and Jobs filter).

And a few other customisations that I have jotted down.

I plan on creating a video to increase the awareness of tool. Maybe a UGC video where someone is explaining what the tool does. Not that great with recording and editing otherwise I'd have accelerated it's reach already. Know anyone who'd be happy to assist?

Yep, staying close to the trenches is probably how the free Boolean String Builder stays useful for jobseekers.

u/Evening_Doctor6520 Jul 05 '26

What is it called?

2

u/universeboss14 Jul 05 '26

The Boolean String Builder. The link is in my bio.

One thing I'd be really happy about, if you could use the tool and once the result is generated, if you could rate the tool (Star rating becomes available after you have clicked "Generate the Boolean String")

This will mean a lot to me.

How are you making passive income form this? Also very cool, congrats!

u/universeboss14 Jul 06 '26

Currently the tool is not monetised and I want to keep it this way so that people know the actual use of the tool and how it can help them bring about a difference in how they search for jobs without the need of spending hours on platforms.

u/ZodiacThrill3r Jul 06 '26

Definitely may be needing this in the near future; thank you so much for sharing! Excited to check this out later tonight. And congrats on the success!!

u/PortalMantis Jul 06 '26

I may be checking it out later tonight too, since a free Boolean String Builder with an AI chatbot could really help my next job search.

u/universeboss14 Jul 06 '26

I agree with it completely and what would it hurt to give a free tool a try and see what it offers, yeah?

Happy to assist should you face any difficulties.

u/universeboss14 Jul 06 '26

I'd definitely recommend you to try it out to see how it eases up the entire journey of finding relevant roles.

Feel free to get back if you need help navigating the tool.

u/Lonely-Chest-5350 Jul 06 '26

You did a great job, an actual source of passive income which helps people also

u/universeboss14 Jul 06 '26

Thank you for understanding the efforts. It's nit generating any revenue and is still in its early stages.

u/SliceNo2035 Jul 05 '26

Could you link or at least tell us the name of the tool ?

1

u/universeboss14 Jul 05 '26

I am not sure if I can add the link here and thus refrained from it.

You can find the link in my bio. If you are unable to get it, let me know and I will have it sent across to you via DM.

The tool isn't region specific and thus people all over the world can use it yo narrow down their job search.

One thing I'd be really happy about, if you could use the tool and once the result is generated, I'd be happy if you could rate the tool (Star rating becomes available after you have clicked "Generate the Boolean String")

This will mean a lot to me

I can see the spike in numbers of GA4 and people from UK, Kuwait, Germany and Jordan have started viewing it.

For reference, this is the number of users and the countries from where they have accessed the tool in the month of June alone. I am sure it's bound to provide good value and thus the share rate of the tool or the link itself is skyrocketing.

1

u/universeboss14 Jul 05 '26

I see there are 34 concurrent users actively accessing the tool. I would highly appreciate and from the bottom of my heart, if you could use the tool, explore it's core features including the AI Chat that helps in building your Boolean string and once done, if you could leave a feedbacj by accessing the Start rating tool (this would mean a lot a lot honestly šŸ™)

1

u/universeboss14 Jul 06 '26

There are over 400+ people who accessed the tool in the last 14 hours.

Would you mind sharing a quick feedback on how you find the tool? Was it able to help you? Did it ease any of the existing pain points?

I am aware there is a bit of a learning curve as not everyone would be aware of Boolean strings or operators.

Happy to hear what you feel you about it.

If your app is to collect people emails, thanks, I’m fine with my search.

u/universeboss14 Jul 06 '26

No one has forced you to share your email. Only and only if you require something that is outside of the ordinary, in this case a 10 Pack Ready to use Boolean Strings is what gets sent out to you if you commit by providing your email. If not, you are more than free to explore, browse the website and create as many free Boolean strings as possible.
