I Let Grok Bot Apply to Software Engineering Jobs While I Was Sleeping
At midnight, I gave Grok Bot a job. Not a prompt. A job . Find software engineering roles that actually fit me, apply to the strongest matches, keep track of everything, and do it again in four hours. Then I went to sleep. That’s the part that got me. For the last few years, we’ve been talking to AI . Now we’re starting to assign work to it . And after turning Grok Bot into an autonomous…
For a few years, we've been conversing with AI, but now we're beginning to entrust it with tasks. In this experiment, I assigned a job to Grok Bot while I slept. The key to this experiment was a scoring system that prioritized technical alignment, relevant AI/ML work, experience level, location/work arrangement, compensation, and mission/product.
The agent was set to apply to the strongest matches without exceeding 10 applications per run. My main concern was not maximizing applications, but maximizing interview probability. The agent was programmed to verify job openings, compare requirements against my resume, check location and compensation, evaluate technical and experience alignment, and score jobs from 0-100.
It would then apply to strong matches and record everything for future reference. Memory proved to be more important than the model, as it allowed the agent to remember past jobs and avoid redundant applications.
