Autonomous Job Application Agent

What

• End-to-end agentic pipeline that monitors Gmail for job alert emails and applies to listings without manual steps
• Claude-powered Playwright browser agent that navigates job boards, reads form structure, and fills it using your stored profile
• Human-in-the-loop review dashboard (Next.js) where staged applications wait for your approval before anything is submitted
• Adaptive form-filling logic that handles Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and custom portals with different DOM conventions

Why

• Job hunting at scale is a loop of repetitive, zero-judgment work — open email, open tab, copy-paste CV, click submit
• A senior engineer spending 2 hours daily on application admin is a massive misallocation of cognitive effort
• The hard part (deciding which roles to pursue, tailoring your pitch) can't be automated — but everything around it can
• No existing tool goes fully end-to-end; most stop at 'autofill' and still require you to babysit every form

How

• Gmail API monitors a labeled inbox folder for job alert digests from LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Indeed
• LLM pass extracts listing URLs and scores each role against your target criteria before handing off to the browser agent
• Claude API with tool-use drives Playwright — it identifies form fields, maps them to your profile, and fills them contextually
• SQLAlchemy models track application state (drafted → submitted → rejected → interview) in a lightweight Postgres DB
• FastAPI backend exposes endpoints for the review dashboard; Next.js frontend shows staged applications with approve/reject controls
