Private beta · one profile, every portal

Apply in one click. Never lose track. Walk in ready.

Pilou learns your story once. After that it fills any application form on any portal, rewrites your resume for the posting in front of you, remembers every role you applied to, and rehearses the interview with you the night before. It never invents an answer about you, and it never presses submit.

Web app and Chrome extension. Free during the beta.

The real problem

The search isn't hard because the jobs are hard.

It's hard because the work between you and the jobs is repetitive, invisible, and never ends.

Twenty minutes a form

The same name, the same email, the same three paragraphs about why you want to work there, retyped into a portal that looks slightly different every time. Ten applications is an evening gone.

One resume for forty jobs

Rewriting your CV per posting is the thing everyone says to do and nobody has time for, so the generic version goes out and the screener never sees the part that mattered.

No idea where you stand

Which version did you send them? Did you already apply here? Why did that one go quiet? The feedback loop that would make you better at this simply doesn't exist.

You end up spending your best hours on data entry, and your interviews onwhatever energy is left.

The solution

Pilou does the busywork. You do the interview.

Tell Pilou your story once, by dropping in your CV. That profile becomes the single source of truth behind every form it fills, every resume it tailors, and every letter it writes.

There is no per-site setup and no template to pick. Pilou reads whatever page you point it at, maps each field to something true about you, and fills it. What your profile can't answer truthfully, it hands back to you rather than guessing. That constraint is the whole product: the output is only useful if you can send it without checking whether it made something up.

Pilou here. I'll never invent an answer you didn't give me. If your profile doesn't say it, I leave the field blank and tell you it's yours to fill.

What you actually get

Four things that used to cost you a weekend.

Each one earns its place by removing a specific hour from your week.

Portal autofill

Any application form, filled before you finish reading it.

Point Pilou at a job form and it reads the page, maps every field to your profile, and fills it: text boxes, dropdowns, custom comboboxes, radio groups, multi-page wizards, file uploads. It handles the Workday six-step wizard the same way it handles a one-page Lever form.

  • Lever, Greenhouse, Workday, LinkedIn and anything else. No per-site setup, ever.
  • Your CV and cover letter get attached to the right file inputs automatically.
  • Only ever fills what's true. You review, and you press submit.

Left for you to answer
Tailored resume & letter

A resume written for the job in front of you.

Pilou reads the posting, then rewrites your resume and cover letter around what that specific role is asking for, in the posting's own language. Your facts never change: only which of them lead, and how they're phrased. A linter checks the result before you see it, and a second pass strips the sentences that read as machine-written.

  • Same truth, reordered for the reader. Nothing invented, nothing inflated.
  • Written in the posting's language, French or English, whichever it's in.
The thing you know you should do, done every time

Application tracker

Every application, remembered.

The moment you apply, it's saved: company, job title, the description, the match score, and the exact resume and cover letter that went out. No more guessing which version they have, or whether you already applied here two months ago.

  • Company, title, description, documents and status, kept together.
  • A match score on every role, so you know where to spend your energy.
You always know exactly where you stand

Interview & skill gap

Say the hard part out loud once, before it counts.

Rehearse against questions drawn from that exact posting and your own background, and get direct feedback on the answer. Alongside it, Pilou compares your profile against what the role asks for: what you match, what's partial, what's missing, and which gaps keep coming back across every application.

  • Questions tailored to the role, not a generic list off the internet.
  • An honest skill read, including when a role isn't worth your Saturday.

What it looks like

Your first month with Pilou.

Not a feature list. The actual sequence, from the day you get your beta account to the month where the search stops feeling like a second job.

01

Day one · ten minutes

Drop in your CV

You upload the PDF you already have. Pilou reads it into a structured profile: experience, education, skills, links, preferences. You spend a few minutes correcting what it got wrong and adding the things a CV never contains, like your notice period and what you want to be paid.

By the end of the coffee, everything about you is in one place for the last time.
02

Day one · your first application

Install the extension, open a posting

On any job page, Pilou tells you how well you match and where the gaps are. Ask it for a tailored CV and cover letter for that role and they're ready in under a minute. Open the application form, and it fills in, field by field, while you watch. You read it, you fix anything you'd say differently, and you press submit yourself.

The first one is the strange one. It takes two minutes and you keep checking it for mistakes.
03

Week one

Volume stops being the constraint

Applying is no longer the expensive part, so you stop rationing it. You apply to the role that asks for five years when you have two. Your tracker fills with companies, scores and statuses, and for the first time you can see your own search laid out in front of you.

A Sunday afternoon now covers what used to take a whole weekend.
04

Week two to four

The replies start, and you're ready for them

An interview lands. You open the tracker, see the exact resume they read, and rehearse against questions built from that posting. Meanwhile the skill panel has been quietly counting: the same two gaps keep appearing across every role you want, and now you know which one to spend a weekend on.

You walk in having already said the hard answer out loud once.
05

Ongoing

It keeps up with you

You change one line in your profile and every future application uses it. Because you're in the beta, the things you tell me are what I build next. Several parts of Pilou exist because a beta user hit something that annoyed them and said so.

The beta is open, and it's free.

Fill out a short nine-question form about your job hunt and I'll issue your invite code on the spot, for the address you gave me. I read every answer: right now it's still me on the other end, not a support queue.

Takes about 2 minutes. No card, no trial timer: answer the form and your code appears on the spot.

Before you sign up

The questions I'd ask too.

Including the uncomfortable ones.

Is this lying on my behalf?
No, and it's the constraint everything else is built around. Pilou answers from your profile, from something truthfully derived from it, or from a safe default. A required field it genuinely can't answer is handed back to you asunanswered, never filled with a plausible guess. Tailoring a resume reorders and rephrases your own facts: it never adds a skill, a job, or a year you didn't give it.
Will it submit an application without me?
Never. There is no submit path in the code, not even behind a flag. Pilou fills the form, clicks Next between the pages of a multi-step wizard, and stops. The last click is always yours, which also means you always see what's being sent.
Will a recruiter notice it was AI-written?
That's the right thing to worry about. Every document goes through a check for the vocabulary, sentence shapes and paragraph symmetry that make text read as machine-written, and it's checked against ahuman reader, not an AI detector. Detectors flag non-native English writers at a 61.3% false-positive rate, so optimizing for them would make the writing worse, not better. You also read and edit everything before it goes out.
Which portals does it work on?
Any of them. There is not a single line of per-site code in Pilou: no Lever handler, no Workday handler. It reads the page structure and maps fields to your profile, which is why it works on Lever, Greenhouse, Workday, LinkedIn Easy Apply, Taleo, iCIMS, and the custom form some company's engineer wrote in 2014. Portals behind a login work too, inside your own already-logged-in browser tab.
What happens to my data?
Your profile is yours: it exists so the forms can be filled and the documents written, and it isn't sold or handed to recruiters. The extension asks for the narrowest browser permissions that let it read and fill the page you're on. Nothing is posted anywhere on your behalf, which follows from the fact that it can't submit.
I'm not technical. Can I still use it?
Yes. There's a web app and a Chrome extension. You upload a PDF, check what it read, and from then on it's a button on job pages. The command line exists for people who want it and is entirely optional.
What does it cost?
Nothing right now. Pilou is inbetaand access is free, but signup is closed: you need an invite code.Answer the nine beta questionsand the code is on the last screen, plus in your inbox. It only works with the address you gave, so I'm keeping the group small enough to actually answer people.
Does it apply to jobs for me, automatically?
No, and that's deliberate. Pilou finds postings, scores them and prepares everything, but a human decides which roles are worth applying to and a human presses submit. Mass-blasting applications is how you get ignored by forty companies at once.
It's a beta. What if it breaks?
Some forms will have a widget nobody has seen before. When Pilou can't fill something it says so and leaves it to you, so the failure mode is a field you type yourself, not a wrong answer sent to a company. Tell me and it usually gets fixed that week: right now it's me on the other end.
Why should I trust the person who built this?
You don't have to take my word for the problem: I spent three years applying to remote roles and built the first version of this for myself because I was tired of retyping the same form. I used it during my own search, and I landed the job. That story is below, and the same rules I'd want as a candidate are the ones enforced in the code.

Where I do most of my applying and now most of my building.

Why I built this

I chased a remote job for three years. I used this same tool to finally land it.

For three years I dreamed about working from anywhere, and spent more evenings than I want to admit re-typing the same details into the same forms.

So partway through the search I built the first rough version ofPiloufor myself: something that filled the forms, kept every application straight, and told me where I was weak before an interview did. No team, no investors, just a script that had to work because I needed it to.

I used it to apply everywhere, including into roles that asked for five years of experience when I had one. I landed my dream job as a lead full-stack developer at a French agency: running the whole stack, shipping to production, owning the thing end to end. The tool didn't get me the job. Showing up and being ready for the interview did. But it's the reason I could apply relentlessly without burning out on the busywork.

Now I'm turning that same tool into something anyone can use: the autofill, the tailored resume, the tracker, the interview practice and the skill-gap read that got me here. It's early, and it's honest by design: it never invents a thing about you. If it helps one more person land the job they've been circling, it did its job.
