Applying with AI honestly and efficiently
How I built an AI assistant that applies for jobs with you, and never invents a fact about you. Let me start with the honest part. Everyone uses AI to apply now. Recruiters use it to read the pile. Candidates use it to write the CV and the cover letter. That is not a scandal, it is just how hiring works now. So the only interesting question left is how to use it well. That question is what this…
An AI assistant has been created to help individuals apply for jobs, following two key principles. First, it must not invent any facts about the user. Second, its scoring system must be transparent and verifiable. This was achieved by guiding the AI through DeepSeek throughout the weekend. The assistant takes an offer, scores it against the user's profile and preferences, and generates a CV, cover letter, and answers to application forms based on the user's template.
The profile is built accurately using the user's CV, with every detail checked against the original document. A scoring system is then applied using four axes, each with its own weight and justification. The final scores are deterministic and can be traced back to their original inputs. The assistant also ensures that all factual claims in the generated documents are supported by the user's profile and provides a clear review system for any adjustments.
The output is then formatted according to the user's preferred template, preserving its original design.
