Custom résumés and cover letters, without the pain.
Application Genie is your workspace for a serious job search. Define what you actually want, surface real openings that fit, and let the Genie produce a tailored résumé and cover letter for each one — so you sound like a person, not a template.
What's the worst part about looking for a job?
The complete lack of response from employers? Having to conjure a positive attitude when you're worried about health insurance?
No. It's having to customize your résumé and write a new cover letter for each position.
Application Genie does that for you — and does it well, because it knows more about you than a résumé ever could.
Four steps. Then keep going.
Each piece works on its own. Together, they replace the spreadsheet, the tab graveyard, and the dread.
Build a candidate profile
01More than a résumé dump. Drop in a PDF or paste plain text and the Genie turns it into a structured profile — work, projects, the marathon you ran, the summer in France. Edit anything. Add anything. Get personal - this is how you'll stand out from other candidates.
Set criteria that actually matter
02Roles, keywords, locations, work arrangement, comp. The Genie watches live job data , deduplicates, and attaches new matches to your pipeline so nothing important slips.
Run a pipeline you can act on
03Identified → Selected → Customized → Applied. Each opportunity links back to you with a status. Your lists are built for "what should I do next?" — not for losing track of half-finished applications.
Generate tailored documents, per job
04For each opportunity, the Genie writes a role-specific résumé and cover letter that connect what the employer is asking for to who you are as a whole candidate. More human. More specific. More likely to land an interview.
Built around you
The part of job hunting you actually hate — solved.
Generic applications get generic results. Application Genie writes from your full story, not a keyword list.
A cover letter that reads like you wrote it.
Your profile holds more than your résumé: the marathon, the languages, the open-source repo, the side hustle. The Genie pulls what's relevant for each posting and writes a cover letter that connects the dots — human, specific, and grounded in what the employer asked for.
Questions
Reasonable questions. Reasonable answers.
How is the cover letter different from what an Al chatbot would write?
A chatbot answer is usually a quick, generic letter built from whatever you pasted in that moment—with no guarantees it matches your résumé, stays honest about your background, or fits how employers actually expect a letter to look.
Here, each cover letter is built around one real job posting and your saved profile. The goal isn’t flashy prose—it’s accurate, specific to that role, and ready to submit: the right tone, sensible length so it fits one page when you print or export it, and no made-up jobs, degrees, or skills.
When it helps, we can pull in real details from your life outside work—used lightly and tied to the job—so the letter sounds like you, not like a template.
In short: it’s still powered by AI, but it’s steered so the letter is truthful, tailored, and application-ready—not a one-size-fits-all chat reply.
Where do the job listings come from?
They’re pulled in live when you run a job search—not pasted in by hand.
Listings come from a job data partner that collects public postings across the web. In practice that means openings you’d see on company career sites, popular job boards (like LinkedIn or Indeed), and hiring tools many employers use behind the scenes (like Greenhouse, Lever, or Workable). Coverage spans a very large set of sites, not just one marketplace.
Because the same role is often posted in several places at once—career page here, LinkedIn there—those listings get organized and deduplicated into a cleaner set of openings.
Your search then applies your filters (role, location, keywords, etc.) so you’re not browsing the entire internet—just matches that fit what you asked for—and saves them in your project so you can tailor materials and track applications from one place.
Will my current employer see that I'm looking?
Not from this workflow by itself. Running a search, saving postings, tailoring your résumé or cover letter, or keeping notes in your own project doesn’t automatically alert anyone—there’s no built‑in “tell my employer” step. It works with your machine, your account, and data you choose to store for you.
Things that can create visibility elsewhere are mostly outside the tool—for example: LinkedIn or other profiles if those products show you as “Open to Work” or in recruiter views you’ve turned on, logging into hiring sites or email with your work account, or opening apply links while signed into SSO your company controls. Employers also sometimes learn through references, referrals, or HR systems if something overlaps with your workplace.
If staying private matters, use personal accounts, check privacy settings on any job boards you use, and treat applications and browser sessions like anything else sensitive at work—you choose how visible you want to be.
Can I bring my own resume?
Yes. The résumé you start from is yours—your jobs, skills, and facts live in your profile (or your main résumé file, depending on how you’re set up). The system uses that as the source of truth and then reshapes the wording and emphasis for each opening so it lines up with that role.
It’s not meant to make up employers, titles, dates, or skills you never had. The idea is: you keep the facts, and the tool helps you present them clearly for each application.
If you already have a résumé in Markdown (or you move your content into the template or profile), that’s the material tailoring builds on—you’re not stuck with a generic résumé the app invented from scratch.
