🚀 ApplyIQ

AI-Powered Internship Automation Platform

Find. Match. Apply. Grow.

ApplyIQ is an AI-powered internship automation platform designed to help students discover opportunities, analyze job requirements, generate tailored application materials, and improve their employability using Google Gemini AI.

Built with a modern full-stack architecture, ApplyIQ streamlines the internship application process by combining job matching, resume generation, cover letter creation, and skill-gap analysis into a single intelligent platform.
