So, today what I want to do is, I want to give you a quick Canyon review. This is a new tool on AppSumo. And, you know, it is for a very, very painful job. It is for finding a new job. It is an all-in-one platform to help you with your job applications. So, is it any good? I did the research. Let us take a look.
What is Canyon?
Basically, Canyon is an AI-powered job application platform. That is the main idea. It is a single tool that tries to manage your entire job hunt. You know, you have your resume in one place, your job applications in a spreadsheet, your interview notes in another. This tool tries to combine all of that. It helps you build your resume, apply for jobs, track your applications, and even prepare for the interview.
How is it useful?
Now, this is the most important part. The reason it is supposed to be useful is, it has a Chrome extension. You can go to a job site like, uh, LinkedIn or Indeed, and the extension is supposed to help you apply. But the main feature, I think, that users actually like is the resume builder and the application tracker. One user said they are tracking 150 applications in the tool. It is a good way to see which resume is getting the most callbacks.
Features
Now, let us look at the main features. Based on my research, here are the main components:
- AI Resume Builder: You can upload your old resume, and the AI will help you, you know, re-format it and “tailor” it for a new job.
- Job Application Tracker: This is a dashboard where you can see all the jobs you have applied for.
- Interview Prep: It has a feature to help you prepare for interviews.
- Chrome Extension: This is the tool that is supposed to help you apply on sites like LinkedIn, Greenhouse, and Indeed.
Conclusion
So, the final question. Is Canyon worth it? This is a very, very complex answer. You must listen very, very carefully.
The idea of this Canyon lifetime deal is a 10/10. It is a great concept. But when I look at the reviews, I see some very, very big problems.
First, the Chrome extension, which is, you know, the main feature, is very “finicky.” One user said it “does not work that well” as soon as you go to a company’s own website. It only works on the big, simple job boards. This is a huge limitation.
Second, the AI is, to be honest, not very smart. One user said they get “way better” replies by just using their resume in ChatGPT for free.
Third, the support is a big red flag. I am seeing users in the questions who are waiting weeks for a support reply.
So, my verdict is: this is not an automatic job-applying tool. It is a good resume builder and tracker for a low price. If you are a student, or, you know, in your early career, it is a good tool. But if you are a “pro” user, you will be, I think, very frustrated. Simple as that.
