in plain english

jobApplier is a Chrome extension that helps you fill out job applications faster. It autofills the repetitive fields on job sites built with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or Workday, such as your name, contact details, work history, and links, using a profile you set up once. It also uses AI to draft cover letters and answers to common application questions, and it can reshape your existing resume to better match a specific job posting. Everything runs inside your own browser rather than on a company server. Your resume, profile, and API key all stay in Chrome's local storage, and the only information that leaves your machine is what gets sent to OpenRouter, the AI service the extension uses to generate text. The extension defaults to a model called GLM 5.2, and you pay OpenRouter directly for each request, which the README says usually costs a small fraction of a cent per application. The resume tailoring feature reorders and rewords your resume to match a job posting's keywords, includes a coverage meter, and checks for anything the AI might have invented, such as a fake tool or metric, before flagging it. You can also upload an existing resume PDF and the extension will build your profile from it automatically, though it deliberately leaves work authorization and equal opportunity questions for you to fill in yourself rather than letting AI answer them. Importantly, the extension never submits an application on its own. It fills in the form fields and then leaves the final review and the Submit click to you. It also explicitly avoids automating LinkedIn Easy Apply or any kind of mass application, since the README notes that kind of automation can get accounts banned. Installation involves loading the extension folder directly into Chrome using Developer mode, since it is not distributed through the Chrome Web Store. The project supports more than fifty job application platforms and includes a script to refresh its form detection rules if a site's layout changes.
