Final MVP2 presentation for EECS 441 on our app Quiver.

1. Ken Lu, Kevin Lam, Matthew Song

2. Quiver is:
● For: busy college students looking for jobs
● Who are dissatisfied with: the repetitive nature and time
consumption of job applications
● Our product is a: Google Docs extension
● That provides: an efficient way to complete multiple
cover letters
● Unlike: alternative cover letter helpers
● Our product: automatically imports important company
information and finds company news to incorporate into
the letter.

3. New Features
● Provide links to company news
● News summarizer
● Frontend quality-of-life changes

4. User Reviews
We tested our new features with 6 users.

5. “The news article summary feature is a lot better
than before but could still use some work.”
“Having so many urls to choose from is great; I can
get all my research in one place.”
“I like the new instruction tab but it can be annoying
switching to it to see the replaceable fields.”
User Quotes

6. “Users will have an increased chance of landing a
job due to the increased number of applications
and a more eye-catching cover letter for each
employer.”
Hypothesis

7. 1. It’s important to understand user needs
first before implementing new features
● “I don’t think the autofill feature is the main reason someone
would use this, its mainly how long it takes to research
interesting company news to talk about.”
● “What if I want to use this without my own template? Can I get a
preset letter?”
Lessons Learned

8. 2. It’s important to understand user needs
first before implementing new features
Lessons Learned (cont.)
● We didn’t plan on using Google Docs
initially
● Deciding on refactoring later caused
more work that we could have saved
● It’s better to have a platform easier for
people to use than one easier to code
