What AI Applyd does

Find, score, tailor, apply, track, and prep. Here is how that lines up against the other tools.

AI Applyd scores your resume against the ATS (the resume filter most employers use), tailors it per job, writes a per-job cover letter, submits on most major sites, and tracks the result. Below is a side by side with the other tools, ties and losses included.
