GenApply: Your AI-Powered Job Application Assistant
GenApply streamlines the job application process with AI-driven resume generation, automated job applications, and mock interviews, making it easier for job seekers to land their dream roles.
💡 Inspiration
GenApply was created to address the challenges of job applications—especially the time-consuming process of tailoring resumes and cover letters. There was no existing tool offering an efficient, AI-powered solution with a user-friendly interface, so we built one to simplify the entire job application journey.
