What they did
A developer in Nigeria built a personal job search agent with LangGraph and Gemini. It searches 6 job-board APIs, keeps only remote roles that accept candidates from Nigeria and scores matches against his CV.
Result (as claimed)
A shortlist that checks more than the job description; build guide shared.
Tools they used
Cost: LangGraph: free plan, paid from $39/seat/mo. Checked 2026-10-14.
Set it up
Define the job
Say exactly what you want done and what the agent may and may not do on your behalf.
Share only what is needed
Give LangGraph the minimum files or access required. Avoid sharing passwords in chat when a safer login flow exists.
Review the plan
Ask the agent to show its plan or draft before it acts, and approve each step that has real consequences.
Check the result
Confirm the outcome yourself (order placed, request sent, document understood) and keep a record.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure. 3.
