You don’t need a job tomorrow. You need clarity.
My Next Act is a private workspace for thinking through your next move, through conversation and at your own pace, before you ever apply to anything.
Request an invitation See how it works
Invitation-only alpha. Nothing is ever sent on your behalf.
Most career tools assume you’re in a hurry.
They want a search box filled in and a hundred applications out the door. But you have a job, a little time most weeks, and a question that’s bigger than a search box: what do I actually want to do next, and can I make a credible case for it?
That question deserves conversation, not a form. It deserves a written plan you can read and change, research before commitment, and an honest record of what you’ve really done, especially if the next role looks different from the last one.
A considered way to work out what’s next
Everything in My Next Act waits for your say-so. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
A brief that’s actually yours
You don’t fill in a form. You talk it through, and the home screen keeps your career brief alongside the conversation.
Your career brief is proposed from conversation, but you approve every version, and every earlier version stays on record with the reason it changed. Edit it directly whenever you like.
Nothing else happens until you’ve approved one: no searching, no assessing roles, no drafting.
- Direction
- Move from running finance operations toward an operating or strategy role at a mission-driven organization.
- Keep
- Building teams; untangling messy processes; being close to decisions.
- Avoid
- Pure reporting roles. Anything that’s month-end close with a new title.
- Open questions
- Is a step down in title acceptable for the right remit?
-
Evidence-based, not invented
Your resume is kept as a factual baseline, separate from your evolving preferences. My Next Act is instructed never to invent accomplishments, dates or credentials.
-
One role at a time, with your reasons
Save or pass on a role and say why. When a pattern shows up in your reasons, it’s offered back as a learning you confirm or dismiss. Nothing enters your profile without your say.
-
Research before you commit
Before you write a word, get a researched picture of a company: what they do, how they hire, what’s knowable about the role, with sources and dates rather than guesses.
-
You approve every document, every send
Resumes, cover letters and outreach notes are drafted for your review. You edit, approve and download them. My Next Act never submits an application or sends an email.
How it works
Four steps, in order, taken whenever you have an hour.
-
Talk through where you are
Paste your resume, then discuss what you want to keep, change or avoid. Nothing is assumed about your direction until you say so. Type, or talk out loud if you prefer.
-
Approve a brief
The conversation proposes a brief: your direction, constraints and open questions. You read it, edit it, and explicitly approve it before anything else happens.
-
Bring in roles, on your terms
Paste a posting, look up a specific company’s job board, or connect your email to pull in LinkedIn alert links. Save or pass on each one, with your reasons.
-
Build your case, then review it
For a role you want to pursue, get researched company context and a drafted resume, cover letter and outreach note. Check every claim and source, then download and send it yourself.
Who it’s for, and who it isn’t
My Next Act is built for a particular moment: you’re not in a rush, but you suspect the next role should be a different one. If that’s not you, it will probably feel slow.
It’s for you if
- You’re employed, or otherwise not desperate, and have a bit of time most weeks to think clearly.
- You want an honest, documented picture of your experience and options before you apply anywhere.
- You’d rather review and approve every application and message than have anything sent on autopilot.
- You want a private place to work this out, not a public profile or a recruiter inbox.
It’s not for you if
- You need a job this week and want the largest possible volume of fast applications.
- You want something to apply or send on your behalf. That is explicitly not what this does.
- You’d rather not paste in a real resume and talk honestly about your experience. My Next Act works only from what you tell it.
Private by design, and plain about it
What happens to your information, stated without fine print.
- Nothing is sent automatically
- Applications, outreach and messages are drafted for your review. You copy, download or send them yourself. My Next Act has no way to submit or email on your behalf.
- Your data is exportable and deletable
- Export your full account data as a file, or permanently delete your account and its data, at any time.
- Email is optional and narrow
- Connect Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo or another mailbox if you like. My Next Act only reads, scans a limited number of recent LinkedIn alert emails for job links, and keeps the links, not your email. Disconnect a mailbox whenever you like.
- AI processing is disclosed up front
- When you use AI features, relevant context (your brief, resume and conversation) is sent to OpenAI for processing. We say so at sign-up, not in a footnote.
- No ads, no selling data
- Access is by invitation. The product is not paid for by advertising or by your information.
Read the full Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We do not sell your data.
Invitation-only alpha
Request an invitation
We’re opening My Next Act slowly, to a small group, so we can learn from each person who uses it. During the alpha you get full access and there’s nothing to pay.
- Full access to everything described on this page
- No payment during the alpha
- A small cohort, added a few people at a time
- A person reads every request
If there’s room, we’ll email you an invitation link. Already have one? .
Questions
Will My Next Act apply to jobs for me?
No. It drafts application material (a resume, cover letter and outreach note) for a role you choose, but you review, edit, and send or submit it yourself. Nothing goes out automatically.
What happens to my resume and the things I tell it?
Your resume is kept as your factual record, separate from your evolving preferences and brief. When you use AI features, relevant parts of this information are sent to OpenAI to process your request, and that’s disclosed when you sign up. You can export everything or permanently delete your account whenever you want.
Do I have to connect my email?
No, it’s optional. If you do connect Gmail, Outlook or another mailbox, My Next Act only reads, looks at a limited number of recent LinkedIn alert emails for job links, and doesn’t keep your general email content. You can disconnect a mailbox at any time.
Can it suggest roles without me doing anything?
Once you’ve approved a brief, you can opt into a weekly shortlist refresh that reviews connected sources and proposes up to five roles for you to consider. It’s off by default, and it stops whenever you pause discovery.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before I start?
No, and that’s the point of starting with conversation rather than a search form. You talk through what you’re drawn to and unsure about, a brief is proposed from that, and you approve it only once it reflects your thinking.
There’s no rush. That’s rather the point.
Start with a conversation about where you are. The rest can wait until you’re ready.
