Applicant tracking systems
Your resume is read by a parser before it is read by a person.
Most tools show you a document that looks right on screen. That tells you nothing about what a parser pulls out of it. AppKit tailors the application, renders the PDF, then reads it back with five independent extractors and checks the result against what it meant to say. Ten checks. Any failure blocks release.

How it works
Three steps, and one of them is the whole point.
- 01
Paste the posting
A URL or the raw text. It reads out the company, the title, the location and the requirements, and tells you which of them it could not find rather than guessing.
- 02
It edits your own document
Not a template. Your DOCX is edited in place at the OOXML level, so your spacing, your fonts and your layout survive exactly. A PDF master is parsed and rebuilt instead.
- 03
The gate reads it back
The finished PDF goes through five extractors and ten checks. Disagreement between parsers is itself a failure — if they cannot agree, neither can an ATS.

Chrome extension
The application form, filled in for your review.
- Reads the page you are on
- Six ATS platforms have their own adapter — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters and Workday. Everything else falls back to reading the form itself.
- Answers in your own words
- Drafts come from your resume, your letter and your answer bank. Nothing is invented: an unsupported question comes back empty rather than plausible.
- Knows a dropdown from a text box
- It reads the real options out of the component, so a select gets a choice from its own list instead of free text that will not match.
- You submit, not it
- Every field is filled for review. You edit, regenerate with a hint, or overrule it. Nothing is ever sent on your behalf.
