Welcome to Karrou.

You and your work now become your professional identity.

Hiring's first pass is done by agents. Karrou publishes both a rendered profile and a machine-readable view of your work — so the reader that matters can actually read you.

The resume was built
for the person reading it.
Not the person writing it.

LinkedIn flattened the typographer, the systems engineer, the generative artist — into the same beige form with the same blue banner and the same "Open to work" frame.

Builders and designers don't have a “summary.” They have taste, output, and a point of view. That deserves a surface, not a slot.

Karrou is that surface.

The reader is now an agent

Every profile ships as two views.

The rendered profile is what a human sees. Beside it, at /you.md, is a canonical machine view — the same profile, structured for parsing. Hiring's first pass is an agent now, and the profile the agent can actually read is the one that survives it.

How it works

01

Customize

Your palette. Your ambient background. Your animation signature. Three curated themes aimed at how you work, or pick your own colors. This is not a theme picker — it is an identity editor.

02

Connect

OAuth pulls live signal from GitHub. Media embeds surface a Spotify playlist, a Vimeo reel, a Loom walkthrough — the specific work you want on record. Not self-reported text — evidence. The kind of proof that says more than a skill badge.

03

Own

Your profile lives at karrouhq.com/you. No algorithm sorting you below someone who spent more time on their headline. No recruiter feed. No notifications. Just a URL that is actually worth sharing.

The difference

Same person.
Different surface.

Peer Score

A reputation metric that only moves when someone uses your work. Every time a builder copies one of your projects, your score goes up. No follows. No likes. Just the number of people who picked up what you put down.
