CometScout: a job-search agent with a human send button
This open-source, self-hosted tool evaluates job postings against a user's profile, selects two roles, and prepares application materials from approved information.
- For
- Job seekers automating a self-hosted search workflow
- Worth noticing
- Missing profile fields are flagged rather than used to reject a posting; hard constraints run before model evaluation.
Field notes
The workflow takes postings from company boards, job services, Gmail alerts, and files, then applies hard filters for language, work authorization, location, sponsorship, and exclusions before model evaluation. The CV builder selects from user-approved lines, while personal fact and lint rules are described as checks against claims the user has previously corrected. The project reports replaying 14 days of decisions against an earlier pipeline and matching 95 of 95 tracker rows.
