Job seekers lose hours to fragmented, repetitive applications
Job seekers have to find suitable, legitimate openings, then repeat forms, tailor application materials, and track what they sent. Resume-import tools can misread details, and different employer portals turn applications into manual correction and copy-pasting. Automating submissions without careful review risks sending inaccurate or poorly tailored applications, while noisy or inactive listings can waste that effort.
For active job seekers, especially software engineers applying across ATS portals. Mentioned from Oct 2023 to Aug 2026 on Bluesky, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

I'd love it if ChatGPT could simply look at my LinkedIn profile, scrape and navigate the company's byzantine application web portal, filling out all the text fields, generate whatever prose that fit the company's expectations/vibe, and hit submit for me.
I would pay for this when it is stable. Specially filling out workday applications. And If I can select the job myself from LinkedIn
