The Problem #

It takes forever to find companies worth applying for, find openings, tailor resumes and cover letters and apply for jobs. There’s multiple chrome extensions and even an ‘AutoApply’ service that blends humans and AI to do it for you. Lifymycv, JobScan, etc..I tried browseruse (agentic browser), hyperbrowser and suna. All failed miserably as the ATS (ashby, etc…) were different for each company. LinkedIn banned me after 20 minutes. Agentic browsing is still hard - you have to give the agent your credentials for LinkedIn and stop it along the way.

Giving credentials is a major security risk. Where do they go? You have to rotate out secrets asap.

1. Job Research agent using Perplexity
2. Job cover letter tailor-er

And one solution that is code:

1. Chrome extension to form fill
