Apply

Parse user input:

• Company/role name: Find the matching evaluation
• "Help me with this application": Ask which company/role, or if computer use is available, take a screenshot to identify the form

Step 2: Map Common Form Fields

Generate answers for standard application fields:

Step 3: Cover Letter (when needed)

Structure:

1. Opening: Specific hook about the company (NOT "I'm excited to apply")
2. Bridge: How your specific background connects to their specific need
3. Evidence: 2-3 concrete accomplishments from your experience relevant to this role
4. Close: Forward-looking, confident but not presumptuous

Rules:

• 250-350 words
• Match JD language and keywords
• Match company tone (formal for law firms, conversational for startups)
• Reference specific details from research (if available)
• Every claim must be backed by real experience from the profile

Step 4: Handle Custom Questions

For each custom application question:

Short answer (< 500 chars):

• Draw from evaluation blocks, profile, or research
• Be specific, not generic
• Include a number or concrete detail when possible

"Tell me about a time..." (behavioral):

• Use STAR format from evaluation Block F stories
• Match the most relevant story to the question

"What are your salary expectations?":

• Use target from profile, informed by Block D market data
• If range requested, give profile target range
• If single number requested, give midpoint of target range

Yes/No questions (authorization, relocation, etc.):

• Answer directly from profile data
• If not in profile, ask the user

EEO / demographic questions:

• Tell the user these are optional and legally cannot affect their candidacy
• Let them answer themselves

Step 5: Present All Answers

Show EVERY generated answer before any action:

## Application Answers: {Company} - {Role}

**Cover letter:**
{full text}

**"Why this company?"**
{answer}

**"Why this role?"**
{answer}

**Salary expectations:** {answer}

**Custom questions:**
1. "{question}" - {answer}
2. "{question}" - {answer}

---

Review these answers. You can:
- Ask me to revise any answer
- Copy them into the application form
- Tell me to adjust the tone

Step 6: Computer Use Assistance (only if available and user requests)

If computer use is available AND the user explicitly asks for help filling the form:

1. Navigate to the application page
2. Fill each field with the APPROVED answers only
3. Upload resume file if the form accepts it
4. STOP before the Submit button. Take a screenshot. Say:

"Everything is filled in. Please review the form carefully and click Submit when you're ready. I won't click it for you."

If no computer use:

"Copy the answers above into the application form. Let me know when you've submitted and I'll update your tracker."

Step 7: Update Tracker

After the user confirms submission:

• Update data/applications.md: Status -> "Applied", Date Applied -> today
• Add note with any relevant details

"Tracked! Your application to {company} is logged. I'll remind you to follow up if you haven't heard back in a week."
