Getting started — step by step
Takes about 5 minutes to set up. After that, every application is faster.
1

🧩 Install the extension

Install JobMatch AI from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, a small ★ star button will appear floating on every page you visit.

Click it to open the side panel. You can drag it anywhere on the screen.

2

👤 Upload your resume in Profile

Open the panel and click the Profile tab. Upload your resume as a PDF or DOCX file.

The AI will parse it automatically — filling in your name, contact info, skills, work experience, and education. Review and edit anything that wasn't parsed correctly.

💡 Upload a DOCX if you want to use the Tailored Resume download feature — it edits your actual file to insert improved bullets.
3

🔑 Add your AI API key in Settings

Click Settings in the panel. Choose an AI provider and paste your API key.

Several providers offer generous free tiers — enough for dozens of job analyses and cover letters with no cost. Links to get a free key are shown next to each provider in the Settings page.

💡 Your API key is stored only on your device. It is never sent to any server we operate — only directly to the provider's API when you trigger an action.
4

💬 Pre-save Q&A answers

Click the Q&A tab and add answers to questions you get asked on every application — work authorization, visa sponsorship, salary expectations, years of experience, demographic questions, and any custom questions.

AutoFill will use these answers directly (no AI needed) for any matching form fields, making common fields like name, phone, and work authorization instant and 100% accurate.

⚠️ The more Q&A answers you save, the less the AI has to guess. For sensitive fields like gender or ethnicity, always save an explicit answer rather than letting the AI infer.
5

🔍 Analyze any job posting

Navigate to any job posting on LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, or any other job site. Click the ★ button to open the panel and press Analyze Job.

Within seconds you'll see your match score, matching skills, missing skills, recommendations, insights, and keywords extracted from the posting.

💡 Results are cached — revisiting the same job won't use another API call. Click Re-Analyze if the job changed or you updated your resume.
6

AutoFill the application form

When you're on the actual application form (sometimes a separate page or an embedded iframe), click AutoFill Application in the panel.

The extension scans every field — including fields inside iframes — fills what it can directly from your profile and Q&A answers, then uses AI for any remaining fields.

Every filled field is marked with a small ★ Autofilled badge so you can spot them quickly.

⚠️ Always review every autofilled field before submitting. A warning reminder appears in the panel after each autofill. AI answers may not always be correct.
7

✍️ Improve your resume bullets (optional)

After analyzing a job, click Improve Resume Bullets. The AI rewrites each bullet in your resume to better match the language and priorities of that specific role.

You'll see a before/after comparison for each bullet. You can:

  • Edit the rewritten version directly in the panel
  • Click ↻ to regenerate with a different angle
  • Toggle skill chips to include or exclude specific skills from the rewrite
  • Check/uncheck bullets to include them in the tailored resume download
💡 You can also add brand-new bullets from scratch using the custom bullet generator at the bottom — describe what you did in plain language and the AI polishes it.
8

📄 Download a tailored resume (optional)

After improving bullets, click Generate Tailored Resume. The extension edits your original DOCX file directly — replacing bullet text and inserting new ones — while preserving all formatting.

The downloaded file is automatically named after the company (e.g. resume_Acme_Corp.docx).

⚠️ Requires a DOCX resume (not PDF). Review the downloaded file before sending — always double-check that insertions landed in the right place.
9

📌 Track your application

Click Save Job to bookmark it. After applying, click Mark as Applied — it records the job with a timestamp.

Use the Notes field to jot down recruiter names, interview dates, or follow-up reminders. All your saved and applied jobs are in the Saved tab.


Tips for best results
Small habits that make the extension significantly more accurate.
📝

Fill your Q&A thoroughly. The more pre-saved answers you have, the less the AI has to guess — and the faster and more accurate autofill becomes.

📂

Use 3 resume profiles. Keep separate profiles for different role types (e.g. frontend, backend, management) and switch between them with one click.

🎯

Analyze before autofilling. Running Analyze Job first gives the AI context about the specific role, making autofill answers more relevant.

🔄

Regenerate bullets freely. Each click of ↻ tries a different angle. Edit the result in the panel before generating the tailored resume.

🧩

Check iframe forms. On Greenhouse or Lever pages, the actual form is often below the job description in an embedded frame — scroll down to find it before clicking AutoFill.

🔍

Always review before submitting. AutoFill is a time-saver, not a replacement for your own review. Check every field — especially dropdowns and EEO questions.

Built as a hobby project

JobMatch AI is developed and maintained by one person in their spare time. It's completely free and open source. If you run into a bug, have a feature idea, or want to contribute code — GitHub is the place. All feedback is welcome.

Privacy Policy  ·  Last updated: April 3, 2026  ·  Extension version 1.0.5
🔒 Short version: Your resume and personal data stay on your device. Nothing is sent to us or any third party — only to the AI provider you choose and configure yourself.

📋 1. What This Extension Does

JobMatch AI is a Chrome browser extension that helps job seekers analyze job postings against their resume, auto-fill job applications, generate cover letters, improve and tailor resume bullets, create tailored resume downloads, and track applied jobs. All processing happens locally in your browser or through the AI API provider you select and configure.

💾 2. Data We Collect and Store

JobMatch AI stores the following data locally on your device using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API. This data never leaves your device except as described in Section 3.

  • Resume data — your name, contact info, skills, work experience, education, and any other content from your uploaded resume (PDF or DOCX). If you upload a DOCX file, the raw file bytes are also stored locally to enable tailored resume generation.
  • Q&A answers — pre-configured answers to common job application questions (work authorization, demographics, salary expectations, etc.).
  • AI provider settings — the provider you selected, your API key, and chosen model. Your API key is stored locally and only transmitted to the AI provider's own servers.
  • Job analysis cache — analysis results for recently viewed job postings, stored to avoid redundant API calls (up to 50 entries, automatically trimmed).
  • Applied jobs & saved jobs — a list of jobs you've marked as applied or saved, including job title, company, location, salary, match score, and the job URL.
  • Job notes — any free-text notes you type into the extension for individual job postings.
  • Resume bullet preferences — your per-bullet skill inclusion and exclusion choices when using the Resume Bullet Improver. These are used only to guide AI generation and are not stored persistently between sessions.
  • Tailored resume counter — a simple integer used to generate unique filenames for downloaded resumes. No resume content is stored in this counter.

🌐 3. Data Sent Externally

The only data transmitted outside your device is sent to the AI provider you configure when you trigger an AI action. The following actions send data to your chosen AI provider's API:

  • Analyze Job — sends the job description and relevant resume sections to score the match and identify skill gaps.
  • AutoFill Application — sends detected form field labels and your resume/Q&A profile to generate answers.
  • Generate Cover Letter — sends the job description and your resume profile to generate a tailored cover letter.
  • Improve Resume Bullets — sends individual resume bullet points, the job description, and your skill inclusion/exclusion preferences so the AI respects which skills to reference or avoid.
  • Generate Tailored Resume — uses locally stored bullet improvements to edit your DOCX file. No additional AI call is made at download time.
  • Add Custom Bullet — sends your rough description, target role, job description, and skill preferences to generate a polished bullet point.

This data is sent directly from your browser to the AI provider — it does not pass through any server operated by JobMatch AI. The AI provider's own privacy policy governs how they handle this data.

We do not operate any backend server. There is no JobMatch AI server that receives, stores, or processes your data.

🚫 4. Data We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not collect analytics, usage statistics, or telemetry of any kind.
  • We do not track which job sites you visit.
  • We do not share any data with advertisers or data brokers.
  • We do not have access to your Chrome browsing history.
  • We do not transmit your resume or personal information to any server we operate.
  • We do not store or log data from AI provider responses beyond what is shown in the extension UI and cached locally.

🔐 5. Permissions Used and Why

  • storage — to save your resume profile, Q&A answers, settings, job history, and analysis cache locally on your device.
  • activeTab — to read the job description and detect form fields on the current tab when you click Analyze Job or AutoFill.
  • webNavigation — to detect all frames (including iframes) within a tab, required to autofill job application forms embedded in third-party iframes (e.g. Greenhouse, Lever).
  • Host permissions (specific AI provider domains) — to make direct API calls from your browser to the AI provider you configure. Only the provider you select is ever contacted.

🗝️ 6. Your API Key

Your AI provider API key is stored locally in chrome.storage.local on your device. It is only ever sent to the API endpoint of the provider you selected — never to any other server. We recommend:

  • Using an API key with only the minimum permissions required by your provider.
  • Rotating your API key periodically, especially if you suspect it may have been exposed.
  • Revoking the key from your provider's dashboard if you uninstall the extension.

📁 7. Resume File Storage

If you upload a DOCX resume, the raw file bytes are stored locally in chrome.storage.local to enable the Tailored Resume feature, which edits your DOCX file directly in the browser without sending the raw file to any server. PDF resumes are parsed for text only; the raw PDF bytes are not stored.

You can remove your stored resume at any time from the Profile page within the extension, or by removing the extension entirely.

🗑️ 8. How to Delete Your Data

All data stored by JobMatch AI can be deleted at any time:

  • Individual data — clear your resume, Q&A answers, or settings from within the extension's Profile & Settings page.
  • All data — go to chrome://extensions → JobMatch AI → click the three-dot menu → Remove extension. This deletes all locally stored data immediately.
  • Alternatively, go to chrome://settings/siteData, search for the extension, and clear its storage.

👶 9. Children's Privacy

JobMatch AI is intended for use by adults seeking employment. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13.

📝 10. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the extension after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

✉️ 11. Contact & About

JobMatch AI is a personal hobby project — built and maintained by one person in their spare time. There is no company, no support team, and no paid tier. It is completely free and open source.
