The pipeline
Four steps. One queue. You approve everything.
Outra scans Y Combinator companies that are actively hiring, pulls their open roles into one clean queue, and matches each against your resume — so you only see roles that actually fit.
01 · Source
YC companies hiring now, one clean queue.

Set the filters once
Define your target roles, keywords, and exclusions — every new lead is filtered against them automatically.
03 · One queue
No trawling job boards yourself
Matched roles land in a single queue, so you review each company once — instead of refreshing YC's jobs page hoping to catch a new posting before everyone else.
Built around one idea
Quality outreach that reads like you wrote it.
Outra was built for people who want personalized outreach at scale without the busywork — and without ever losing the final say.

Reads the whole role, not just the title
Every match is scored against your actual resume — target roles, tech stack, seniority, and location — with an explanation for why it fits.
Tailors and drafts, you stay in control
A tailored resume and a personalized outreach draft are prepared for each company. Nothing is fabricated, and nothing is sent without your approval.
Sends from the inbox you already use
Approved outreach goes out from your own Gmail — or saves as a draft — so replies land back with you, not in some tool you'll forget to check.

How does Outra find jobs?
Outra scans Y Combinator companies that are actively hiring, pulls their open roles into one queue, and matches each against your resume and preferences — target roles, tech stack, seniority, remote preference, and location. You only see roles that actually fit. (Support for more sources is on the roadmap.)
Does it send emails automatically without me?
No. Every tailored resume and outreach message sits in a review queue until you approve it. You choose whether approved messages send directly or are saved as Gmail drafts for you to send.
Will recruiters know I used Outra?
No. Everything sends from your own inbox in your own voice — tailored resumes and outreach read like you wrote them, because they're built from your real experience.
How does resume tailoring work?
Outra reads the actual job description, aligns your bullets to the keywords and must-haves recruiters screen for, and shows you every change before anything goes out. Nothing is fabricated — it only reshapes what's already true.
Will it make up things about me or the company?
No. Resume tailoring follows a strict zero-fabrication rule — nothing is claimed that isn't in your real resume. Ideas offered to a company are framed as proposals to start a conversation, never as work you've already done.
Why does Outra ask to connect my email?
So approved outreach sends from your inbox and replies come straight back to you. Your Gmail connection is stored as an encrypted token and used only to send the messages you approve.
Who's behind Outra?
A solo developer building in the open. Outra is new — you'd be one of the first people to use it, and feedback goes straight to the person writing the code.
