Takes 60 seconds · Spots are limited
Beta-test a real AI app

Win real rewards
Mentorship, visibility and career assets.
Join an elite cohort
Top EU students. Lifetime network.
A challenge by Vocating × Planetir · Free for Cohort №01 · Powered by RedPill Platform
You experience the journey. You tell us what works. You design a strategy to scale it. The best strategy wins real prizes, and gets implemented with you involved.
Five weeks. Three deliverables. Profiles that stand out.
Career positioning is broken.
You're part of the fix.
AI is reshaping every career path, and it's getting harder than ever to explain what makes you irreplaceable. You feel it: the pressure, the uncertainty, the gap between what you studied and what employers actually want.
We're building an AI-powered app that closes that gap, and we need real students to test it, break it, and make it better. Your feedback ships in the next version. Your name stays on the product. This isn't a survey, it's co-creation.
Ready to join?
Start before the cohort closes.
Secure your place now and come back to the details after.
Meet Vocating.ai
Vocating is an AI-powered career positioning app built on years of academic research. It helps you figure out what makes you unique and how to communicate it.
During the challenge, you'll be among the very first people to use it.
What you'll get inside the app
3 guided sprints
Structured self-discovery: explore your strengths, test them in real scenarios, and refine your career positioning step by step.
Your Working Vision Card
Way more useful than a CV. A sharp, personal document that captures who you are, what you bring, and where you're headed.
AI-powered guidance
A career coach available anytime, built on real methodology from career science. It helps you articulate what makes you unique.
Your feedback shapes it
This is a beta. Every bug you flag, every idea you share goes straight into the next version. You're a co-creator.
Why a beta? Because the best products are built with the people who use them. Your generation deserves career tools designed by your generation.
Compete for prizes money can't buy.
Access, mentorship, visibility, and a real professional opportunity. Designed to launch your career, not just reward a competition.
