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.
shit, let me try it out
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.)

any need for browser agent observability?
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.
All big successful companies do "something" wrong, thats how they make money. Steal your OSS, not pay taxes, avoid overtime payments, low wages, outsource slavery, destroy the environment, gaslight while they steal your data and subject millions to dark patterns of advertising and marketing, screw over suppliers, intentionally sew discord as a distraction. The list goes on. To me the bigger the company the bigger the red flag.
That’s a very cynical view.
Do the biggest companies not create the most value for the world?
Consider this. If the most successful companies are simply cheating customers, then most consumers are stupid; handing offer their hard-earned money for bad deals and to be exploited.
But most people are not stupid, and most people highly value their money. So, they only buy something because they want what the seller is offering even more than their money. This means that companies create great value because they offer something that people really want.
