Job Hunter

An AI job-hunting agent that runs on your own machine. It researches a job post and company, scores your honest fit, and writes a tailored cover letter, email, or CV in your voice — every claim fact-checked. Run it on your own AI CLIs or bring your own cloud API key — your choice.

Get Job Hunter

One command installs Job Hunter. Then activate it with your license key.

macOS & Linux
curl -fsSL https://tech-m8.solutions/downloads/job-hunter/install.sh | sh

Detects your OS and CPU and verifies the checksum. macOS installs the native app to your Applications folder; Linux installs the CLI to your PATH — the macOS quarantine flag is cleared automatically.

Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://tech-m8.solutions/downloads/job-hunter/install.ps1 | iex

Installs under your user profile and adds it to PATH. Windows SmartScreen may warn on the unsigned binary — choose “More info” → “Run anyway”.

What’s new

v0.1.82026-07-01
Full changelog
  • Native macOS app polish: the license banner no longer overlaps the pane title, and every pane sits flush under its header for a cleaner, consistent look.
  • Fixed the Settings → Crawl section so its controls align left like the other tabs.

Quick start

Up and running in five steps — everything else lives in the local web app.

  1. 1

    Paste the free beta key when prompted to unlock every feature.

  4. 4

    Pick your AI

    In Settings, sign in to a local CLI (Claude, Gemini, Codex) or add a cloud API key — it’s tested with a live call before saving.

  5. 5

What it does

Your CLIs or your API keys

Route each task to your locally-installed Claude, Gemini, or Codex CLI — signed in with your own accounts, nothing to provision — or add a cloud API key for Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenAI. Every key is tested with a live call before it’s saved and stored only on your machine. Mix and match per task; a bundled local model is the last-resort fallback.

Honest fit score + gap coach

Parses a posting, scores your real fit, and lays out which must-haves you meet and which you miss — then coaches the gaps instead of inflating the match.

Writes in your voice

Ingests your portfolio to build a voice fingerprint, then drafts a tailored cover letter, email, or CV that sounds like you — with a truthfulness guard that fact-checks every claim against your dossier.

One-click job capture

A companion Chrome extension grabs a posting from any job board and sends it straight to the app — pulling the real job text client-side so only what matters reaches the agent. Or just paste a URL.

Company research + redaction

Researches the company on the web to sharpen your angle, with a PII scrub and egress audit so nothing sensitive leaves with the request.

Interview prep

Generate likely interview questions for the specific role and company, with strong answers grounded only in your real experience — STAR where it fits.

Local-first & private

A single Go binary boots a web app at 127.0.0.1:7777. Your documents, drafts, and API keys all live in ~/.job-hunter on your machine — no cloud account, no telemetry.

How it works

From install to a tailored application, step by step.

  1. 1

    Install and run

    Download the binary, run ./job-hunter, and open http://127.0.0.1:7777 in your browser. Everything happens in the local web app — pick your AI tools, add a license, and check detected CLIs right from the UI.

  2. 2

    Pick your AI — CLIs or API keys

    Job Hunter routes each task to an AI of your choice. Sign in to your local Claude, Gemini, or Codex CLI, or paste a cloud API key for Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenAI — each key is checked with a live test call before it’s saved. Set a primary tool and fallbacks per task; a bundled local model covers you if everything else is unavailable.

  3. 3

    Build your profile and voice

    Drop in your CV, portfolio docs, and writing samples as PDFs or plain text. Job Hunter builds a candidate dossier and a voice fingerprint, then runs an authenticity check so generated drafts sound like you — not like a template.

    Capture jobs in one click

    Paste a job URL, or use the companion Chrome extension to send a posting from any job board in one click. Job Hunter parses each role and lines them up with a fit score, so you can see at a glance what’s worth pursuing.

  5. 5

    See your honest match

    Open a role to see your real fit, scored out of 100 with the reasoning shown — the must-haves you meet, the ones you miss, and a gap coach that tells you how to close them rather than papering over them. Ask the built-in assistant anything about the role and your fit.

    Generate in your voice

    Produce a tailored cover letter, email, or CV in your own writing voice. The truthfulness guard fact-checks every claim against your dossier, and you can spin multiple A/B angles before exporting a versioned draft to PDF.
