Navin vs Teal: search plus pipeline vs a tracker tab
Teal helps you track applications and polish a resume. Navin Career finds live offers from official APIs, opens country boards, drafts from your master CV, then tracks the same cards on your disk.
| Dimension | Navin | Teal |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Local AI agent OS | job tracker |
| Runtime | Desktop local-first (Windows, macOS, Linux) | Typically cloud SaaS or single-purpose app |
| Scope | Code + scrape + leads + marketing + channels + autonomy | Focused on Teal's core job |
| Privacy default | Chats and files stay on your machine | Vendor cloud by default |
Where Navin stands out
- Live search, not only a kanban you fill by hand
- Official ATS JSON (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby)
- Word CV per mission from the master file, with ATS notes
- Same OS as Code when the interview needs a demo
- Local-first pipeline JSON
- LinkedIn as an official tab, never a scrape
Where Teal stands out
- Polished consumer tracker UX
- Resume templates aimed at ATS parsing
- Chrome extension habits many job seekers already have
