Can it actually do something difficult like apply for jobs? So far I know of five or so websites that claim they can apply to jobs for you like sonara.ai and usemassive.com and Skyvern AI but when you try to actually use them all they can do is the one-page job applications and not the much more common Workday 10-page job applications with annoying "create an account" and annoying questions like "Do you have any relatives that work at Sony" and annoying "fill out all your work experience" where you have to click 50 times for one application. That's like half of all job applications. https://jobs.spectrum.com/job/-/-/4673/76746020384?utm_sourc...

I'm pretty confident it can do it. Try it out and see for yourself. Just install the package, run cli and give it your prompt.

pip install lmnr-index playwright install chromium index run

Also try experimenting with different models. So far, Gemini 2.5 Pro is the best in terms of quality/speed. Claude 3.7 is also pretty good.

while we don't auto-apply to jobs for you, our browser extension, Simplify Copilot, makes it easier to apply to those multi-step application forms (workday, taleo, sap, etc.)

I consider using bad hiring software like that a red flag, and suggestive of other things the company must be doing wrong too. I noped out whenever I saw Taleo.
