Build an agent that finds and applies to jobs

The poster built a job-search and application agent, with the Replit agent writing about 80% of the app.

What they did

The poster turned a personal tool into SimpleApply.ai: users upload a resume, fill out a profile, and the agent finds matching jobs, scores them for interview likelihood, and can auto-apply if the user opts in. In comments, the builder says job search can be used without auto-apply and that Replit’s agent helped build about 80% of the app, while they handled things like getting auth working.

How it went

They say the system finds many remote jobs users were not finding elsewhere and grew from the poster’s own use to friends and coworkers asking for access. The post gives no hard performance numbers, and auto-apply is optional because some users do not want it.

Worth knowing

The clearest implementation detail is that the builder started with a Replit waiting list, then kept building there after finding authentication was manageable; Replit’s agent did roughly 80% of the app.
