Resumebase – open-source job agent (github.com)

Resumebase is an open‑source “job agent” announced by a recent grad who built it to automate the brutal, manual grind of applications. At its core you drop in a resume and a job link and the system spins up a cloud browser (via Browserbase) and a Stagehand agent to read the job description, rewrite your resume, fill forms and submit applications for you. It streams a live viewer URL so you can watch the session, exposes a raw recording events API for auditing/replay, and ships as a Next.js web app (web/), MIT licensed, with minimal prerequisites (Node 18+, pnpm, Browserbase + model provider API keys — e.g., Google Gemini or OpenAI). This matters because it automates per‑job personalization at scale, potentially boosting match quality and saving huge time for applicants — but also raises verification, privacy and fairness questions (hence planned features like verification/audit trails, recommendation/ranking, job sourcing, provider abstraction and replay UI). The repo encourages community collaboration (good‑first issues: docs, replay UI, provider abstraction, form reliability), links a slightly altered Stagehand fork, and provides setup notes (example env uses GEMINI model). Open sourcing invites developers to harden form reliability, expand multi‑provider model support, and build the verification layers needed to make automated job applications reliable and accountable.
