Our mission is to make fulfilling careers accessible to all individuals, irrespective of their background, through a thoughtfully designed, equitable, and empowering tool.
For any inquiries, Niya can be contacted via email at team@niya.ai.
2. About Our Product
Niya AI provides a Career Companion service through WhatsApp, offering users an unparalleled level of support and guidance in navigating their career pathways. This service is designed to function as an accessible and comprehensive resource, available 24/7, and tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals seeking to enhance their career trajectories. The support includes, but is not limited to:
· Addressing career-related inquiries with personalized insights.
· Sharing job opportunities relevant to the user's interests and skill set.
· Providing detailed reviews of CVs and job applications.
· Simulating interviews to enhance user preparedness.
· Facilitating connections to educational or professional training programs.
Important Note: All interactions occur directly between users and Niya AI through WhatsApp. Users do not maintain profiles or have access to a standalone platform. Instead, Niya captures insights into each user's career needs, preferences, and progress to provide individually tailored guidance and recommendations.
In addition to responding to user-initiated messages, Niya may occasionally initiate messages to capture product feedback or to send useful, timely prompts that help users navigate their career journey.
Niya AI may analyze voice notes or written messages to better understand your goals and improve its responses. While every effort is made to provide accurate guidance, users acknowledge that Niya’s AI may occasionally produce speculative or inaccurate suggestions. The information provided should be treated as guidance, not professional or definitive advice.
Interactions with Niya AI do not form legal or contractual obligations between you and Niya or any third-party providers. All employment decisions and formal agreements remain solely between you and the third party involved.
