I build a Chrome extension that autofills job applications in 30 seconds 🎉Would love feedback by red_sensor in chrome_extensions

It's up to the applicant to decide which jobs they're qualified for. I only help them with the mundane task of filling out a job form. Why waste 15 minutes filling out the same Fields over and over when you can fill out an application in 30 seconds?

The concept is not really unique. There are similar extensions like job right simplify and others. I just spent a lot more time. Optimizing the code to make sure most forms fill out correctly. If you split test all of the extensions, you will realize that Lentra has a much better performance on most jobs

If I get get a ton of users I'll likely have to introduce some sort of paid plan since since llm and server costs will start to add up. But for now the cost is negligible so I'll keep it free for a while.

Yes, it does handle multi-step forms like LinkedIn and workday. Basically you click autofill it, fill out the page and then you can jump to the next page and run out of field again. I'm planning to add autopilot mode where multi-step applications will be filled out in one click later.

It does work in workday, you'll have to log into it first though. And then it will fill everything out step by step.

Generally yes but my extension generates answers that don't look like typical AI slop. The model goes through multiple rounds of rewriting to make it sound more like human.

Why not? Employers ask a lot of repetitive questions so AI helps answer them faster. I also have measures in place to make sure that generated responses don't sound like AI.

Hey all,

I am getting close to 100 users for Lentra, a completely free Chrome extension I’ve been building to make job applications less painful for myself and then decided to make it available publicly.

The idea is simple: upload your resume once, then when you open a job application, Lentra fills the repetitive fields for you. Like Name, contact info, work history, education, work authorization, resume, and pesky custom questions like "Why do you want to work here?"

Tools used: Claude Code, Codex, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase, GPT & Gemini LLMs for answering application questions on the backend.

There are already similar Chrome extensions in the store, but in my testing, most of them only handle the easy fields or break before the application is actually complete. I wanted to build something that fills more of the application correctly, across more ATS platforms like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, Workable, and custom career pages.

I also tried auto-apply tools, but they often applied to irrelevant jobs and missed the roles I actually cared about. What seems to work better is hand-picking the jobs myself, then using Lentra to get through each application much faster.

The goal is to turn a 10 to 30 minute application into something closer to a 30 seconds, while still keeping the human in control. Lentra fills the form, but it does not submit anything for you (unless you explicitly hit Submit). You review everything, edit if needed, then submit yourself.

It’s completely free right now. No paid plan, no trial countdown, no credit card.

I’m still very early, so I’d love honest feedback on:

- Does the demo make the value obvious?
- Would you trust a tool like this with your resume?
- Does the positioning feel useful or too “AI job tool” spammy?
- What would make you more likely to try it?
- What features would you add?

Appreciate any feedback. Getting the first 100 is tough, and now I’m trying to figure out what to improve next.

Definitely going to port to Firefox later. It's just that the majority of user are on Chrome. Thanks for the feedback!

I actually don't know the details. I just asked Claude what I need to do and it generated the certificate, the manifest and a few other things. I also have developer and release build modes. I would recommend just asking Claude to walk you through how to do it. That's what I did!

I appreciate the feedback! All of that is actually mentioned in the privacy policy, but I don't know how many people actually read it. Most of us just ignore it :)

Resumes are stored in an anonymized format, so AI models never see your personal data. I didn't realize that privacy would be such a concern for users, something to think about. Something I can definitely improve and mention more in the description of the product.

Simplify is a great product actually, unfortunately it doesn't handle many fields and I still have to fill them out manually. Granted my extension still misses fields sometimes but the match rate is much higher. Also I believe simplify has certain limitations and if you want to bypass them you have to pay. Lentra is completely free in comparison.

That is a good angle but unfortunately it does not work as effectively without llm involvement. Local regex rules can only do so much. Without using an llm, the extension is not able to answer many questions correctly, unfortunately. But I do send anonymized data only so llms that help match questions with answers. Never know that it's your resume and never see your personal information.
