An AI agent that applies to jobs for you, using the Claude or Codex subscription you already have.
Open JobPilot → · Docs · How it works · Changelog
Applying for jobs takes hours. You fill in the same forms, adjust your resume for every posting, and keep track of who replied. JobPilot gives that work to an AI agent on your computer. You tell it what kind of job you want. It searches job boards, tailors your resume for each posting, fills in and sends the application, writes to recruiters, and keeps track of the replies. The JobPilot website shows where every application stands.
You don't need an API key, and there's no usage bill. The agent runs inside Claude Code or Codex, so it uses the subscription you already pay for.
The agent works in a normal browser window on your computer, signed in as you. You can watch it, or leave it alone and check what it did later.
- Applies to jobs. It searches LinkedIn, Indeed, Hiring Cafe, and other boards, and you can add your own. Each job gets a score against your resume. It can apply to the jobs you pick, or work through a list on its own up to a limit you set. It answers screening questions and writes cover letters along the way.
- Runs without you. With the Pilot turned on, you write down your goals and a daily limit, and it keeps finding jobs, applying, and following up. If it needs a decision from you, it sends a notification to your phone. Everything else goes into a journal you can read later.
- Reaches out to people. It finds the recruiter or hiring manager for a job and writes them a personal email or LinkedIn message. If you connect Gmail, it reads the replies, matches them to your applications, and suggests what to do next. Nothing is sent without your approval.
- Keeps track. Every application sits in one list, from applied to offer, with charts on top. Each tailored resume is saved as its own PDF, so you know which version went to which company.
- Works on Upwork. Through Upwork's own connector, it finds jobs, skips clients who rarely hire, drafts proposals you send with one click, and collects your invitations, offers, and messages.
You need a Claude Code or Codex subscription and Node.js 22 or newer.
- Install the JobPilot plugin in Claude Code or Codex (commands below).
- Run setup. It installs a small program called the terminal host, starts the agent, and opens the dashboard. If the host is already installed, setup updates it.
- Create an account and upload your resume. The agent reads it and fills in your profile.
- Start a search campaign. Look over the matches, then apply to the ones you like, or let an auto-apply campaign handle them.
Claude Code starts on the latest Sonnet model and Codex on GPT 6 Luna. Bigger models use up your weekly limit much faster and don't send any more applications. Here's why.
Run these in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/suxrobGM/claude-plugins
/plugin install jobpilot@sukhrob-claude-plugins
/jobpilot:setup
Run these in a terminal:
codex plugin marketplace add suxrobGM/codex-plugins
codex plugin add jobpilot@sukhrob-codex-plugins
Then start a new Codex session and run:
$setup
Once setup is done, you can start the agent from the dock on the right side of the dashboard.
Install the terminal host without the plugin
Use one of these to install or repair the terminal host without running setup. The host ships with all the skills and the browser settings the agent needs. The plugin from the marketplace only exists to run setup the first time.

Windows (PowerShell):

macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/suxrobGM/jobpilot/main/apps/terminal/install.sh | bash
For a step-by-step walkthrough, read the getting started guide.
You only ever type one command:
/jobpilot:setup # Claude Code
$setup # Codex
It installs the terminal host, starts the agent, and opens the dashboard. If the host is already installed, it updates it, so you can run it again whenever you want to update or fix your install.
Everything else starts from a button in the dashboard. JobPilot passes the matching skill to the agent, and you can watch it work in the dock:

Some skills run in the middle of other work, and you never start them yourself. The agent uses them to tailor your resume before applying, write a cover letter, solve a captcha, or read a sign-in code from your email. The full list covers every skill.
Reading replies, picking up sign-in codes, and sending networking emails all need a Google OAuth client that you create. The email setup guide walks you through it.
