We are looking for an experienced AI/Full-Stack Developer to build a Real-Time Sales Enablement Tool. The goal of this system is to listen to live sales calls in Hebrew, transcribe them instantly, and feed the text into an OpenAI agent that will provide real-time objections-handling tips to the sales representative.

We already have the sales playbook, objections scripts, and prompts ready (currently configured in a Custom GPT setup). Your job will be to handle the pipeline integration, ultra-low latency streaming, and a simple frontend overlay/dashboard for the sales rep.

Key Responsibilities & Workflow:
Audio Capture & Streaming: Capture live audio from the microphone (or system audio/browser) during a call.

Real-Time Transcription (STT): Stream the audio into an ultra-low latency STT engine that supports Hebrew (e.g., Deepgram Nova-2 / AssemblyAI).

AI Agent Integration: Feed the streaming text into the OpenAI API (using GPT-4o or Assistants API), pre-loaded with our custom sales training data and prompts.

UI/Dashboard Output: Display the AI’s real-time suggestions (scripts, objection handling) on a clean, scannable dashboard or widget overlay for the salesperson to see while they talk.

Technical Requirements:
STT Engines: Proven experience with Deepgram (Streaming API), AssemblyAI, or Google Cloud STT.

OpenAI API: Deep understanding of OpenAI API, prompt engineering, and context management for streaming conversations.

Latency Optimization: Ability to optimize the pipeline so the response time from speech to AI suggestion is under 1 second.

Frontend/Backend: Experience building lightweight web interfaces, chrome extensions, or desktop widgets (Node.js/Python for backend, React/Vue/Vanilla JS for frontend).

UI/RTL Handling: Ability to handle Right-to-Left (RTL) text formatting for the Hebrew dashboard display.

Nice-to-Have / Preferred:
Prior experience with Hebrew NLP or Hebrew Speech-to-Text projects is a major plus, but not mandatory.

Project Scope & Timeline:
Type: Milestone-based project (with potential for long-term maintenance and upgrades).

Timeline: Expected MVP within 3-4 weeks.


How to Apply:
Please share:

Examples of previous real-time AI or Streaming Speech-to-Text projects you’ve built.

Your recommended tech stack for the frontend/backend for this specific use case.

Mention if you have any prior experience working with Hebrew or other RTL languages (optional).

We're building a professional SaaS platform for the property insurance industry, specifically for Public Adjusters (PAs) — licensed professionals who represent property owners in insurance claim disputes (water damage, fire, storm, etc.).

The core of the platform: ingest Xactimate PDF estimates (the industry-standard estimating software format used by virtually every insurance carrier and adjuster in the US), use AI to extract every piece of structured data from them, and present it in a clean, professional dashboard.

Later phases add a side-by-side reconciliation engine that compares a carrier's estimate against a PA's estimate and surfaces every discrepancy — this is where the real business value lives, but Phase 1 focuses on building the extraction foundation correctly.

This is a real multi-tenant SaaS product — not an internal tool.

We intend to onboard other PA firms as paying subscribers, and down the line, potentially license access to insurance carriers, contractors, and other professionals in the property claims ecosystem (separate commercial track, not part of Phase 1 — mentioned so you understand the architecture needs to support it later without a rebuild).

The Core Technical Challenge (please read before applying)

Xactimate PDFs are 30–100+ page structured documents. They look like complex financial reports, but they follow a strict, predictable internal hierarchy:


Estimate
└── Area (e.g., "Main Level", "Exterior")
└── Group (e.g., "Dwelling", "Building Code Upgrades")
└── Room (e.g., "Kitchen", "Master Bath")
└── Line Items (drywall, paint, flooring, roofing, etc.)

Each line item carries a Category Code, Selector Code, Activity Code, description, quantity, unit, unit price, O&P, tax, RCV, depreciation, and ACV. The financial totals roll up through room → category → coverage → estimate level with strict arithmetic relationships.

Why this is hard: Standard PDF text extraction returns individual character spans with x/y coordinates — table columns get scrambled on extraction. You need coordinate-based row reconstruction (grouping spans by y-position, sorting by x) before AI can make sense of the data.

Then AI handles the semantic interpretation: normalizing codes, classifying line items, and extracting financial values into structured JSON with confidence scoring.

This is a solved engineering problem with the right approach — but it requires a team that has actually worked with structured document extraction before, not just "I'll throw the PDF at ChatGPT."

What's In Scope for Phase 1 (Fixed Price)

User authentication & multi-tenant accounts — registration, login, organization/team accounts, role-based access (owner, admin, adjuster, reviewer, viewer)

Subscription billing — Stripe integration with tiered plans, usage metering, customer self-service portal

PDF upload & processing pipeline — drag-and-drop upload, virus scanning, coordinate-based text extraction, OCR fallback path for scanned documents

AI extraction engine — two-pass extraction (header/metadata pass + line-item pass) using an LLM API of your recommendation (see Tech Stack section — we have a preference but are open to your input)

Structured estimate dashboard — multi-tab view showing the estimate broken down by room, by trade category, by coverage, with full financial summary and QA arithmetic validation (does the math actually add up to the printed totals?)

Claim management — one claim can hold multiple estimates/versions over time

Export functionality — PDF report generation, XLSX export of line items

Tech Stack (Our Research — Open to Your Recommendations)

Based on our research, here's what we believe is the right stack. However, we are genuinely open to alternative recommendations — if your team has a better-proven approach for any layer (especially the PDF/OCR pipeline or the AI orchestration layer), tell us in your proposal with your reasoning.

We care more about long-term maintainability and scalability than about us being "right."

Frontend: Next.js 14+ (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui

Backend: Next.js API Routes (or your recommended alternative — Fastify, tRPC, etc.)

Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL + Auth + Storage + Realtime + Row-Level Security)

AI/LLM: We're leaning toward OpenRouter as a model-agnostic gateway (access to Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, etc. through one API) rather than locking into a single vendor — but open to direct API integrations if you have a strong reason

PDF Processing: Python microservice (PyMuPDF + pdfplumber + OCR)

Payments: Stripe

Deployment: Vercel + Railway/Fly.io for the Python worker

Future Phases (Not Part of This Fixed-Price Scope — For Context Only)

Phase 2: Two-estimate reconciliation engine (carrier vs. PA line-by-line comparison, AI-powered supplement letter generation)

Phase 3: Portfolio analytics, carrier pattern intelligence, photo/material analysis

Phase 4: Mobile app (React Native/Expo)
We're describing these so you understand the architectural direction — Phase 1 deliverables should not require a rewrite to support these later.

Teams that perform well on Phase 1 will be first in line for these phases.

Who Should Apply

Agencies or senior full-stack pairs with proven experience shipping multi-tenant SaaS products

Real experience with LLM API integration for document/data extraction — not just chatbot wrappers

Experience with PDF parsing for tabular/financial documents (insurance, accounting, legal, or similar structured-document domains are a strong plus)
Comfortable with Supabase or PostgreSQL +
Row-Level Security

Senior-level TypeScript/React

Application Requirements
To be considered, please submit:
2–3 relevant projects — links preferred. SaaS products with multi-tenancy, and/or anything involving AI-powered document extraction
One paragraph: how would your team approach reconstructing table rows from a PDF where text extraction returns scrambled column order? (We're checking for real experience, not buzzwords)

Your fixed-price bid for Phase 1, broken down by week/milestone

Any stack recommendations that differ from ours, with brief reasoning

Your honest assessment of the riskiest part of this project

We will shortlist 3–5 candidates and share a full technical specification document (35-table database schema, complete AI prompts, sample PDFs, design system) before final selection.

This is intended as a long-term relationship across multiple phases — Phase 1 is the foundation and the audition.

Lead technical discussions across engineering teams
Ensure strong engineering practices around reliability, security, and data integrity

Please reply with these questions answered:

1.For a regulated health platform where business logic must be deterministic and auditable and any LLM is presentation-only, how would you architect the backend so outputs are traceable and wellness vs medical behaviour stays server-side gated?

2. Health data arrives from mobile apps with retries, duplicates, out-of-order delivery, and changing payloads. How would you design ingestion so nothing is lost, nothing is silently overwritten, and the system stays defensible under audit?

3. You are joining before build starts, with an existing React Native + cloud backend and a large spec that still needs tightening. What do you focus on first, what do you produce in the first few weeks, and how do you decide what to extend vs rebuild?

About the Studio:
We are a high-end sequential art and comic book production studio specializing in end-to-end visual production. We work strictly B2B with international publishers, magazines, and executive editors, delivering premium graphic novels and comic series. We do not compromise on quality.
The Role:
We are looking for a professionally trained Motion Designer/Animator who has masterfully integrated AI video tools into their professional workflow. We do NOT want someone who merely generates random AI clips. We need a creative professional who understands animation principles, pacing, and storytelling, and uses AI (alongside After Effects/Nuke/etc.) to elevate 2D flat comic panels into breathtaking, cinematic scenes.
The Goal:
This is not a simple slideshow or a basic pan-and-zoom video. The final output must have a massive "Wow" factor. It needs to feel like a premium, dramatic, and immersive animated teaser. You must be able to take a single, flat illustrated page and breathe life into it using:
Meticulous manual layer separation for deep, immersive parallax effects.
Cinematic and dramatic camera movements.
Advanced AI integration for fluid transitions, ambient animation (smoke, weather, lighting), and dynamic depth.
Professional sound design and pacing.
Requirements:
Strong Animation Foundation: You must have a background in motion graphics, 2D animation, or VFX—not just prompt engineering.
Advanced AI Toolkit: Proven experience using professional AI tools (e.g., Runway Gen-3, Kling, Topaz, etc.) in combination with traditional compositing software to maintain strict control over the final image without losing the original art style.
Problem Solver: Ability to manually separate flat artwork into layers when layered PSDs are unavailable.
B2B Standard: Ability to take direct art direction, meet strict deadlines, and deliver flawless, broadcast-ready exports.
To Apply, You MUST Include:
A link to your portfolio specifically showing Cinematic Motion Comics or 2.5D Parallax Animation.
A brief explanation of your workflow: How do you combine traditional compositing with AI tools to maintain control over the artwork.

Project Overview
We run a real-time conversational voice application powered by the Gemini Live API. Our architecture is: client app « our Python backend (WebSocket relay) « Gemini Live API. We also use function calling / tools integrated into the backend. The product works, but we're hitting reliability issues during live sessions that we need an experienced engineer to diagnose and fix.

The Problems

1. Frequent 1007 disconnects.
Sessions drop with errors like:
Connection lost (received 1007 (invalid frame payload data) Request contains an invalid
argument.; then sent 1007 ...) — attempting reconnect

We need to find what argument/payload is malformed (audio format, config, tool schema, message framing, etc.) and stop these from happening.

2. Silent sessions.
Mid-session, Gemini sometimes simply stops responding — the WebSocket stays open but no audio/text comes back to the user. We need to understand why it goes silent (tool-call handling, turn completion, timeouts, backpressure on our relay) and make sessions recover gracefully.

3. Other reliability issues.
These are the two we've identified so far, but there may be additional problems we haven't pinpointed yet — intermittent latency, edge cases in tool calls, or other instability under real usage. We'd like you to surface and address any related issues you find while investigating, not just the two above.

What We're Looking For:
• Proven experience with the Gemini Live API (or strong real-time streaming LLM voice experience)
• Strong Python skills (async/concurrency, WebSocket servers)
• Deep WebSocket knowledge — framing, close codes, keep-alive, reconnection strategy
• Experience with function calling / tool use over a streaming connection
• Comfortable debugging audio streaming (encoding, sample rate, chunking)
• Able to read our backend code, reproduce the issues, and propose concrete fixes

Deliverables
• Root-cause diagnosis of the 1007 errors and the silent-session issue
• Identification of any other reliability issues found during the investigation
• Code fixes (or a clear, actionable plan if a quick fix isn't possible)
• A more robust reconnection / error-handling approach so users aren't interrupted

To Apply
Please briefly describe a Gemini Live or real-time voice issue you've debugged before, and your initial hypothesis on what might cause a 1007 "invalid argument" in this setup.

Job Description: Hi developers,
I am a non-technical founder building an AI-native EdTech MVP. I have a strong conceptual understanding of software architecture, but I need a senior full-stack engineer/mentor to conduct a 4-hour, 1-on-1, hands-on pair-programming session via Zoom/Google Meet.
My goal is NOT to build complex business logic, but to walk through, configure, and see the full end-to-end data flow of a core architectural "Vertical Slice" on my local machine.
Our 4-Hour Goal:
We will connect WordPress (Frontend/Client) $\rightarrow$ FastAPI (Backend API) $\rightarrow$ Redis (Message Broker) $\rightarrow$ Celery (Heavy Worker) $\rightarrow$ SQLite/PostgreSQL (Database).
The Exact Workflow We Will Build From Scratch:
1. Frontend Trigger: Click a button on WordPress (or a simple HTML page if WP integration takes too long) to request "Generate Weekly Report".
2. API Handshake: FastAPI receives the request and immediately returns a "Task Queued" response to the frontend within milliseconds (ensuring the frontend never freezes).
3. Queueing: FastAPI pushes the task into Redis.
4. Heavy Worker Execution: A Celery Worker picks up the task asynchronously, simulates a heavy payload (e.g., calling Gemini API or audio processing) using a 5-second time.sleep(5).
5. Database Log: Upon completion, Celery writes a success record (Task_ID, Status: SUCCESS, Timestamp) into SQLite or PostgreSQL.
6. Verification: We will use a DB viewer (like DB Browser for SQLite) to verify the data entry, and check how the architecture handles consecutive clicks (concurrency).
What I Expect From You:
• You must be fluent in English and an excellent teacher who can explain lines of code conceptually (e.g., how @celery.task works, why we use Redis as a broker, etc.).
• Help me set up the local environment (Python, Redis, Celery) on my machine smoothly.
• Show me best practices for decoupling heavy tasks (like PDF generation or LLM batch processing) from the main API thread.
Tech Stack Requirements:
• Python (FastAPI, Celery)
• Redis
• WordPress (Basic REST API/Webhook interaction)
• SQLite / PostgreSQL
If you are a patient senior developer or tech lead who loves mentoring, please apply. Please type "READY FOR COOKING" at the top of your proposal so I know you've read the full description.

I am the founder of Neuro Rune System LTD and the creator of The 3-1-4 Matrix—a breakthrough proprietary method in the biohacking and human optimization space. I have engineered a completely new category, utilizing Neuro-Runic DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to physically rewrite the nervous system's corrupted code and eliminate burnout at the hardware level.

The organic demand has exploded. We are currently generating over 15+ Million organic views per month across Meta platforms, backed by a highly profitable and rapidly growing paid community (Skool) of high-performing founders, traders, and entrepreneurs.

The Goal (What I Need):
I am transitioning from pure algorithmic social media traffic to elite brand credibility. I am looking for a Tier-1 PR Specialist (US/UK focus) to execute "Founder Profiling" and position me as a visionary in the tech/wellness space.

Key Deliverables:

Category Creation & Storytelling: Crafting a compelling PR narrative that bridges biohacking, acoustic engineering, and human optimization.

Media Outreach (Earned Media): Securing placements, interviews, and features in top-tier business, tech, and wellness publications (e.g., Forbes, GQ, TechCrunch, Business Insider) and elite podcasts.

Founder Profiling: Building my personal brand as the creator of a disruptive proprietary method, which will ultimately open doors to corporate partnerships and high-level industry events.

Who I Am Looking For:

You have direct, established relationships with journalists and editors in the Tech, Wellness, or Business sectors.

You focus on real "Earned Media" and storytelling. (Strict rule: I am NOT looking for "Pay-to-Play", sponsored posts, or fake guaranteed placements on press release syndication sites).

You know how to package a complex, edgy concept into a pitch that Tier-1 media will actually want to publish.

You are an elite independent publicist or run a boutique agency.

Why Work With Me?
You will not be pitching a boring corporate SaaS. This is a highly visual, aggressive, and proven product with massive existing traction and cash flow. The audience and the viral loop are already built; I just need the right PR architect to translate this momentum into elite media presence.

If this aligns with your skills, please apply with specific examples of recent Tier-1 placements you have secured for founders or startups.

• Please provide 1-2 links to recent Tier-1 media placements (US/UK) you secured for a client organically (Earned Media). I am NOT looking for sponsored/paid content.
• In 2-3 sentences, what angle would you use to pitch a "Biohacking/Acoustic Sound Frequency" startup to a mainstream business or tech publication?
