Fast forward to the important stuff:
01:04-Can you introduce yourself and tell us what Inicio is all about?
03:39-Who typically uses Inicio, and what are they looking for?
08:28-What does the user journey look like on day one with Inicio? Can you walk us through the first steps?
13:19-How does Inicio support usersβ mental health during their job search?
16:25-How do you make sure the app still feels human, not just AI?
21:38-Are there any upcoming features or updates we should be excited about?
