New Zealand’s job market felt like a 'bear' market — tough for migrants like Pranay (10+ years in tech, dozens cv sent, zero interviews) and many stuck in rejection cycles. Tom Wu, a corporate AI guru, noticed a gap: big companies used AI to thrive, while job seekers battled alone. He quit his six-figure job and rallied a team of volunteers to build Go Bear, a free AI that acts like a 24/7 job hunt assistant and coach. It polishes CVs, drafts cover letters, and even spots skills gaps, turning job hunting from hopeless to hopeful. No fees, no ads. Just a friendly bear helping underdogs land roles faster. Already, it is helping hundreds of university students from AUT and Otago Polytechnic and young professionals in NZ roar to success.

We are a group of AI-passionate IT and HR professionals based in Auckland, New Zealand, committed to create positive change in the careers of individuals from all walks of life, irrespective of their privilege or circumstances.

Despite most of us having our daytime jobs, we have chosen to dedicate our evenings and weekends to building this platform.

Tom Wu, a visionary leader, is spearheading this project from Auckland, New Zealand.

As a social enterprise initiative, our app is completely free to the general public, and we intend to maintain this free tier indefinitely.

For corporate clients, we offer enterprise-grade customisation, extra premium features as well as program-based services for a small fee. The revenue from these services supports our essential operations and helps fund the free tier, enabling access for more people who might otherwise be unable to afford it.

Data privacy and security are our top priorities. We value privacy so will not use your data to train any models. In most cases, your personal identifiable information (PII) are not required for your normal interactions with Go Bear AI so we strongly encourage you refrain from sharing any sensitive or personal information if you do not feel comfortable. For more details, please refer to our Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.

Our service is now open to the general public for preview. However due to high demand, some services may be temporarily limited during peak usage times. We appreciate your patience and feedback as we continue to improve and scale our platform.
