Use case overview
Author built an application agent and says it led to interviews at Cohere and Scale AI.
Reported experience
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.
Example prompts
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.
