      <title>the first real conversation.</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Align-a is a conversational AI recruiter that runs live phone screens with candidates and structured discovery calls with hiring managers, then outputs final-round-ready shortlists. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.align-a.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Try it free&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal isn’t to automate humans out of hiring. It’s to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reduce low-signal screening calls&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shorten time-to-decision&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make early-stage hiring less painful for both candidates and engineers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’re early, and I’m genuinely looking forward to the future!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How do you test your website after launch?</title>
      <dc:creator>Kiarash</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2025 16:39:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/kiarashplusplus/how-do-you-test-your-website-after-launch-4dkg</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/kiarashplusplus/how-do-you-test-your-website-after-launch-4dkg</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve been thinking a lot about what “post-launch testing” means in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We all check the usual stuff — Lighthouse scores, mobile responsiveness, SEO, performance.&lt;br&gt;
But now we’ve also got AI agents crawling, parsing, and even trying to use our sites.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I just tried a new tool called AgentRank.it that lets a Vision AI agent navigate your UI and report where it gets stuck. Pretty interesting idea, especially as AI-driven traffic grows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It made me wonder:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What do you test once your site is live?&lt;br&gt;
Do you check for accessibility, UX flows, automated browsing, AI-readability, or something else entirely?&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>New Tool: Does Your Site Work for AI Agents?</title>
      <dc:creator>Kiarash</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2025 16:31:40 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/kiarashplusplus/new-tool-does-your-site-work-for-ai-agents-3kmc</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/kiarashplusplus/new-tool-does-your-site-work-for-ai-agents-3kmc</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Most of us build websites for humans — but now AI agents are crawling and using the web, too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A new beta tool called AgentRank.it gives your site an “AI Usability Score” and even lets a Vision AI agent try to navigate your UI.&lt;br&gt;
Yes, it literally loads your site and attempts actions like a mini autonomous bot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The wild part? It’s free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s like Lighthouse, but for AI-era usability. Super simple: drop in a URL, watch an AI try to use your site, and see where it gets confused.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’re building anything for 2025 and beyond, this is worth a quick look.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;What started as a personal project just turned into something bigger—my portfolio &lt;a href="https://25x.codes/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;25x.codes&lt;/a&gt; won the Special Kudos Award, along with Innovation, UI, and UX awards.&lt;br&gt;
Grateful for the support and inspired to keep building!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A Financial MCP server with multi-provider orchestration (Open Source)</title>
      <dc:creator>Kiarash</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sat, 29 Nov 2025 21:09:00 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>https://forem.com/kiarashplusplus/a-financial-mcp-server-with-multi-provider-orchestration-open-source-dob</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I built an AI-native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that aggregates financial data from multiple providers, adds intelligent orchestration, and enforces multilingual compliance guardrails.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here’s the GitHub: &lt;a href="https://github.com/kiarashplusplus/FIML" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/kiarashplusplus/FIML&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
