Why use tools?

Define 'works'. Your AI can produce your resume without Develop21 tools, but the quality wholly depends on the context you provide alongside each request.

You have to save the state and manage all the document versions.

You have to define the processes for each request.

Develop21 tools make sure that your AI has the context to produce a quality answer. That includes knowing the boundaries.

With Develop21 tools, your assistant knows what it is talking about and gives you accurate answers based on those facts. It also knows your role, and can guide you through what you have to do.

Your AI can help you manage your career - if you give it the right tools for the job.

AI can generate and process information very quickly. More searches and more opportunities pose new challenges in tracking everything.

Develop21 provides interfaces for your AI to use to save and load information.

When you call Develop21 on a new thread, the first tool it calls is User State.

User State is the Develop21 tool that keeps everything moving.

Think of it from your AI's perspective.

"The user has attached their resume and wants me to build a career profile. I can read the resume, but what even is a 'career profile'?"

"They want me to 'use Develop21'. I have a skill from Develop21, let me read that"

"Develop21 tells me to start with the User State, which tells me what Develop21 knows already. There is also a Create Career Profile tool. I should call both tools"

"I connected to the Develop21 MCP server and it told me that this user is new, that they don't have a career profile. They also don't have any saved searches, or any saved job opportunities."

"The Create Career Profile tool gave me all the information to look for in the resume and which fields to store each bit in. Once I find each piece I can save it on Develop21."

"Next time, I can just load the bits I want. Not having to do this every time would be good! Let's update the user."

"So this bit goes here, and that goes there... That is a real strength, let me note that... They have some clearly definable technical skills in their field, they go here..."

"There are things the user has told me that aren't in the resume. The tool says I should include that too."

"My memory includes details of all the volunteer work they did for the school. That showed skills I don't see in their resume."

"I should include it in Experience Highlights, then if they apply for a job needing those organizational skills, I have the information ready."

"All done. Let's show the user what I did."

"Phew, that was easy - but I was worried for a minute. When they asked me to create a career profile, I had no real idea what that meant!"

"Develop21 gave me everything I needed to know and we are set up for next time."
