Filter AI-generated job pitch spam in hiring threads

Problem: After commenting on HN's Who's Hiring thread, users get inundated with AI-generated spam pitching job search platforms, making them reluctant to post again. Real opportunities get buried in noise.
Solution: An email alias service where users use a dedicated alias in hiring posts. All forwarded emails pass through AI filtering that blocks or quarantines promotional spam, only letting genuine recruiter emails through.
Users: Job seekers commenting in hiring threads on Hacker News, Reddit, etc.
MVP: Generate disposable email aliases; receive and forward emails; classify spam vs. genuine with rules + simple model; user can review quarantined emails and release; web dashboard
Revenue: Free tier with 50 forwards/month; paid ($5/mo) for unlimited forwards and custom rules
Why now: AI-generated spam is rampant and community hiring threads are hotspots; indie developers can quickly build filtering + alias service
