NLP-powered qualification

A trained language model detects subtle requirements like graduation dates and school years automatically.

Auto-grading & visual badges

Instantly see match scores, external-application warnings, and eligibility status with color-coded badges on the job list.

Smart filters & batch actions

Filter by match score or freshness. Save all matched jobs in one click, or clean up your saved list just as fast.

Resume parsing

Upload your PDF resume. We extract the text and skills locally to find your best matches.

Manual control & settings

Toggle auto-grading, trigger grading manually on any page, and update your profile settings with ease.

Privacy first

Your resume and data never leave your browser. All processing happens locally within the extension.

Semantic AI matching Opt-in

A 23M-parameter language model runs on your device and scores each posting by meaning. Match becomes 65% keyword + 35% AI, with the split shown on every card.

Implied skills

Listing React implies JavaScript; PyTorch implies Python. Related skills earn partial credit and show up as dotted chips, so you're not penalized for not spelling everything out.

Faster Job Explorer

Scores render from a single listing call — no per-job fetching. Extra details load in the background with a status chip, and the AI refinement never blocks the page.

Semantic AI that reads job descriptions like you do

Turn on Semantic AI and a small language model runs entirely on your device, re-reading every posting to score how well it fits your resume by meaning — not just keyword overlap.

01

Keyword layer

The classic scorer checks required skills, keywords, and eligibility — fast, transparent, and always on. It now also credits implied skills: React on your resume counts toward a JavaScript requirement.

02

Semantic layer

mdbr-leaf-ir (23M parameters, #1 on the BEIR retrieval benchmark for its size) embeds your resume and each job description, then measures how close they sit in meaning. “Built REST services in Flask” counts toward “backend web development”.

03

Blended score

Your final match is 65% keyword + 35% semantic. Every card shows the split (Keyword 96 · AI 79) and the details view adds a dedicated Semantic (AI) bar so you can see exactly what moved the number.

Explainable, down to the bar

Open any posting and the match breakdown shows Skills, Keywords, and Semantic (AI) side by side. Hover a card's split to see the raw cosine similarity behind the AI number.

  • Private by design. Your resume and every job description are embedded in a Web Worker in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
  • Lightweight until you opt in. The extension ships without the model. Ticking “Semantic AI” downloads the runtime and model once (~46 MB) and keeps them cached.
  • Scores never wait on it. Keyword scores appear instantly; the AI refinement streams in behind a “Refining scores” chip and never blocks the page.
  • Honest about hardware. Before enabling, you're told it's compute-intensive on MacBook Airs, Chromebooks and older laptops. Thread count auto-scales to your CPU.
