Career planning and career development are becoming increasingly complex due to the rapidly changing demands of the sector, technological progress and the evolving demands of the workforce. Traditional career guidance approaches often lack personalization, scalability and real-time adaptability, which makes it difficult for students and professionals to make informed career choices. This document presents CareerAI, an intelligent AI-driven career guidance and coaching platform for personalised career advice, industry insights, resume optimization, interview preparation and cover letter generation using generative artificial intelligence. The proposed platform integrates large language models with user profile analysis to provide tailored career guidance based on educational background, skills, interests, experience and career objectives. The system uses Gemini AI to produce sector-specific insights, identify skills gaps, recommend learning paths and provide market-relevant career information. In addition, AI-powered modules for enhancing resumes and job interviews help users to improve employability and job readiness. The platform is developed with Next.js 15, React 19, Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL, Clustered Verification, Tailwind CSS, and Gemini AI. The experimental evaluation shows that the platform is effective in improving career planning effectiveness, resume quality, interview readiness and decision-making skills. The results show that AI-assisted career guidance can provide scalable and personalised support for professional development, while bridging the gap between academic qualifications and the expectations of the workplace.
