What it does

• Scans job listings on Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor
• For each Easy Apply job, calls the Claude API to rewrite your resume specifically for that role — mirroring exact keywords, reordering skills, rewriting bullets with real metrics
• Fills and submits the Easy Apply form automatically
• Downloads a PDF of the customized resume and cover letter after each application
• Sends a Gmail notification via EmailJS with the job details and what was submitted
• Tracks every application with ATS score, keywords matched, and full resume and cover letter preview
• Skips jobs already applied to — no duplicates across sessions
• Pause and Stop controls work instantly from a floating bar on the job site itself

Tech stack

• Chrome Extension — Manifest V3, content scripts, service worker background
• Claude AI (Anthropic) — claude-haiku-4-5 for resume and cover letter generation
• jsPDF — client-side PDF generation, no server required
• EmailJS — Gmail notifications without a backend
• Vanilla JavaScript — no frameworks, no build step

• Every required skill appears in both the Skills section and a bullet point

• Standard ATS-safe section headers and plain text formatting
• Summary contains the exact job title and company name
