New Chrome Extension Uses Gemini to Speed Up Job Hunting
A developer created a tool that lives in your browser to help find and apply for jobs. It uses AI to handle repetitive tasks and customize your application for each role.
Searching for work is often slow because every job needs a different cover letter and resume tweaks. This extension uses Google's AI, Gemini, to read job descriptions directly on your screen. It can then draft responses or highlight how your skills match what the company wants. This saves hours of manual typing and helps you apply to more places with better quality. It shows how individuals are now building their own AI assistants for very specific life problems like employment.
