  A one-job-at-a-time AI drafting assistant for resumes and cover letters.
  
  Job Application Assistant helps you create tailored resume and cover letter drafts for specific job postings. Save jobs you're interested in, analyse your fit before applying, and generate polished application documents when you're ready.
  
  Save your profile details, scan or paste a job description, choose your draft settings, and generate application documents you can review, edit, and save as PDF.
  
  Features:
  
  Generate a tailored resume, cover letter, or both
  Scan the current job page or paste a job description manually
  Save jobs and load them directly into the generator when you're ready to apply
  Analyse your fit for a job with a scored breakdown before committing to a draft
  Switch between transferable skills and exact-match fit analysis per profile
  Save profile details for different career paths or application styles
  Adjust tone and cover letter length before generation
  Change document template, accent colour, and spacing after generation
  Edit generated drafts directly in the preview
  Preserve manual preview edits for export
  Run an ATS-style keyword scan to identify possible keyword gaps
  Save documents as PDF through your browser's print dialog
  Try Demo Mode without an API key
  AI setup is flexible. You can connect a cloud AI provider using your own API key, or use local AI with Ollama if you prefer running models on your own computer. API keys are stored locally in Chrome and are used only with the provider you choose.
  
  Job Application Assistant is designed to help you draft faster, not to replace careful review. AI-generated content can be inaccurate or generic, so always check names, dates, job titles, qualifications, achievements, and claims before submitting an application.

  Job Application Assistant helps you prepare tailored job application materials for a specific role while keeping you in control of every action.
  
  Scan a job posting or paste a description, review the extracted details, and create tailored resume and cover letter drafts using your selected AI provider. You can edit drafts, request refinements, save jobs, track application progress, and use the browser print dialog to save documents as PDF.
  
  Features:
  • Generate tailored resume and cover letter drafts
  • Save jobs and track application status
  • Create recruiter messages, follow-up messages, reminder text, short application answer drafts, and application email drafts
  • Run an optional AI Fit Check manually when you want a provider-backed review of a job posting
  • Discuss a loaded job in Job Chat and send positioning guidance to Resume Refine or Cover Letter Refine
  • Review form-field suggestions before autofilling supported application forms
  • Manage multiple profiles and reusable career details
  • Use cloud AI providers with your own API key or local AI through Ollama
  
  Important safeguards:
  • AI Fit Check runs only when you explicitly request it
  • Application Pack Actions create reviewable drafts only
  • Autofill requires review before fields are filled
  • Sensitive, demographic, and legal fields are skipped by autofill
  • Nothing is sent, scheduled, attached, submitted, or posted automatically
  • Direct PDF download is not used; PDF export is handled through the browser print dialog
  
  Profile content, API keys, saved jobs, and drafts are stored locally in Chrome extension storage. When you request an AI-powered feature, relevant content is sent only to the AI provider you selected.
  
  Version 3.0 adds Application Pack Actions for saved jobs, including recruiter messages, follow-up messages, reminder text, short application answer drafts, and application email drafts.
  
  AI Fit Check is now manual and provider-backed: scanning prepares job context, but analysis runs only when you explicitly request it.
  
  This update also adds Job Chat improvements, saved-job workflow upgrades, autofill matching improvements, and browser print-dialog PDF export with improved filename suggestions.
  
  Nothing is sent, scheduled, attached, submitted, or posted automatically.
