Life Admin & HomeDone with custom-built or unnamed agent Jul 1, 2026
Apply to jobs with a self-built application agent
Author built an application agent and says it led to interviews at Cohere and Scale AI.
- What They Did
- The author had relied on recruiters finding them on LinkedIn, but that inbound interest dried up and they were struggling to land roles at top-tier companies. They built their own application agent to apply to jobs. The comment gives no detail on how the agent works, what it was given access to, or where the author stepped in.
- How It Went
- The author says the agent got them interviews at Cohere and Scale AI, calls they believe they would not otherwise have received. No counts of applications, response rates, or offers are given.
- Worth Knowing
- The source is a brief forum comment with no technical detail, so the build, costs, and results beyond the two named interviews are unknown.
Try it yourself with custom-built or unnamed agent
Help me build a job application assistant in this folder. Start with my resume at [resume file path] and a list of roles I want: [target job titles and companies]. For each posting I paste in, tailor my resume bullets and write a short cover note, saving both as files. Stop once it works on two sample postings, and never submit an application without showing me the final materials first.
