What Applai is
Applai is a web service and browser extension that finds matching jobs, prepares application materials, and helps submit applications. It reads listings from company boards and public APIs, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Personio, Workday, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, and Arbeitsagentur. Each role receives a 0–100 match score with reasoning based on skills, title, location, language, and salary. Applai can create English cover letters, formal German Anschreiben, and ATS-tuned CVs from a user profile. Its Chrome extension autofills forms on 12 ATS platforms. Review-first is the default; optional auto-apply has a server-side daily limit. Additional tools include interview preparation, a CV checker, negotiation coaching, mock interviews, and application tracking. Applai says it is built for Germany and works internationally, and an AI key is optional. The free beta plan costs nothing while in beta, includes all features and unlimited searches, requires no credit card, and includes a 2-hour apply Autopilot.
