People post jobs in their own words; an LLM classifies them to skills and PostGIS matches nearby providers. OTP sign-up over Safaricom SMS, in-app chat, push notifications and ratings close the loop. Seeded with 1,039 public listings scraped with Firecrawl, and used as JOAT Kenya's own hiring board.
What it does
- AI interpretation of loosely worded tasks
- PostGIS radius matching
- Safaricom OTP, chat, web push, ratings
- 18 SQL migrations with row-level security
The AI does something subtler than search: it turns 'my sink is doing that thing again' into a skill category, an urgency and a rough scope before matching can happen.
