Smart Apply by DataGuru

Autofill job application forms with one click using your own resume. AI powered Smart Apply reads your PDF resume, analyzes the open application page, and fills the form accurately — saving you time on repetitive entries across different sites and ATS systems.

Key Benefits
- Faster applications: One click to fill common fields (name, email, phone, education, experience, links, etc.).
- Consistent accuracy: Server-side AI mapping tuned for hiring flows; falls back to local matching if needed.
- Works where you apply: Supports modern ATS platforms and forms embedded in iframes.
- Privacy-first: Only field descriptors are sent for mapping, not entire page content.
- Resume control: Your last few parsed resumes are stored locally, never uploaded without your action.

How It Works
1. Connect your DataGuru account (Options → Connect account). An API key is issued to your account.
2. Open the popup and upload your PDF resume to parse it once. We securely parse the file and store the structured result locally.
3. Navigate to a job application page and click “Analyze & Fill.” The extension scans visible fields, obtains a field→value mapping from your parsed resume, and fills the form.

Features
- Resume parsing (PDF → structured JSON) with batch status for reliability.
- Analyze & Fill on demand (no always-on page access).
- Form fingerprinting and caching to improve speed on repeat sites.
- Support for common input types: text, textarea, select, radio/checkbox, contenteditable.
- Works across iframes where permitted by the page.
- Local history: keeps the last few parsed resumes for quick reuse.

Permissions (Minimal & Purpose-Bound)
- storage: Save your settings, API key, and local resume history.
- activeTab: Run the analyzer only on the active tab after your click.
- scripting: Programmatically inject the analyzer/filler when you choose Analyze & Fill.

This extension does not run persistent content scripts across all pages and does not read browsing history. Analysis runs only on user action.

Data & Privacy
- When you click Analyze & Fill, the extension collects lightweight field descriptors (labels, placeholders, input attributes, and CSS selectors) and sends them with your chosen resume data to DataGuru’s API to compute the best mapping.
- We do not transmit the page’s full HTML, cookies, or unrelated content.
- Your parsed resumes are stored locally in the browser extension (limited recent history) for your convenience. You can wipe local data at any time in Options.
- See the full Privacy Policy on our website.

Requirements
- A DataGuru account (free tier available). The extension issues a per-user API key upon sign-in.
- Chrome or any Chromium-based browser supporting Manifest V3.

Getting Started
1. Install the extension and open Options.
2. Click “Open Login Page” to sign in/up and issue your API key.
3. (Optional) Set the API Base URL if using a self-hosted backend; otherwise leave default.
4. Open the popup, upload your resume (PDF), and click “Parse Resume.”
5. Browse to a job application form and click “Analyze & Fill.”
