Local AI for Submitting Job Applications

1•vcandela•38m ago
I've submitted almost 200 job applications over the course of almost 5 days using only local AI. I can't talk too much about the tech stack here (it's running at this very moment!).

The only interaction that I've had with these websites has been to click on the captchas to bypass the I'm not a robot check.

So far, at the Claude Opus 5 rates, I've saved at least $400 in token costs, not including the estimated charges for cache storage.

Initially, the model made an enormous amount of mistakes, but with close monitoring and adjustment of the configuration files, I've been able to virtually eliminate errors.

Lastly, it's also useful for doing the University trainings that waste your time.

The immediate consequence of all of this local AI is that we will not need to pay for BS YC startups that just wash everybody's money around.

The years ahead will be an interesting time because everyone, even those who barely understand computers will be able to complete largely unlimited tasks on their personal computers for very little cost.

Let me know what y'all think! Very exciting to build more ai-integrated things.
