Private AI Job Matcher, Web Scraper & Resume Builder
Skippy is a free, privacy-first desktop app that takes the busywork out of job hunting. It reads job postings, gives you an honest 0–100 match score based on your real experience, spots hidden dealbreakers immediately, and writes tailored Word (.docx) resumes and cover letters in one click.
Let's be honest for a second about the job hunt: it is awful. Looking through dozens of lengthy job descriptions, checking for hidden dealbreakers such as language requirements or ridiculous years-of-experience cutoffs, and rewriting resumes and cover letters for every single application. In addition to this, other commercial AI resume tools require uploading sensitive personal data to third-party cloud databases behind monthly paywalls.
Skippy removes 90% of that pain and makes your job search private and efficient. Running entirely on your local machine, Skippy can scrape postings via automated web scraping or receive LinkedIn postings via browser extension. Skippy then evaluates your eligibility against a comprehensive Master Resume using structured LLM schemas, tracks application status, and generates truthful, recruiter-ready application materials.
Compares every job posting against your real work history and gives it a clear score from 0 to 100. It also immediately flags hard dealbreakers—like required Top Secret clearances, strict citizenship rules, or missing licenses—so you never waste time applying to jobs you can't take.
Includes a custom browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Brave. While browsing LinkedIn, just right-click any job posting and hit "Send Listing to Skippy"—no tedious copy-pasting between tabs required.
Generates customized Resumes, natural-sounding Cover Letters, and STAR-Method Interview Prep Sheets for any job. Skippy strictly uses your real experience without making up fake skills, and exports ready-to-use Microsoft Word (.docx) files.
Feed jobs to Skippy three ways: paste a single job description, drop in a list of job URLs to evaluate back-to-back, or use Universal Search on verified tech boards like builtin.com to automatically gather and score dozens of roles at once.
Connect your preferred AI in seconds—supports Google Gemini (free tier available), OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, and xAI Grok. Want complete offline privacy? Pair it with Ollama to run AI models directly on your own computer for free.
Turns your evaluated job history into visual charts showing which of your skills employers want most, what missing skills keep popping up across job postings (so you know what to learn next), and common workplace red flags.
Skippy is built so you never have to stare at a loading screen. A background manager (pipeline.py) and local listener (webhook.py) handle all the heavy lifting behind the scenes while you click around the app.
Built with a cybersecurity mindset to keep your personal data, API keys, and computer safe while pulling job postings from the internet:
Skippy comes pre-packaged so anyone can download and run it in a couple of minutes—even on a brand-new computer without Python installed:
