Kairos

καιρός — the right moment to act

Kairos is a Rust TUI tool that automates the job application workflow for the Australian market.

Search across platforms, analyze JDs with AI, tailor your resume per role, and track every application — all from your terminal.

Features

  • LLM-Powered Analysis — Claude analyzes JDs, extracts requirements, scores match against your profile
  • Smart Resume Tailoring — Auto-rewrite resume sections per JD with anti-hallucination guards

  • Privacy First — All data local in SQLite, API keys never leave your machine
  • Australia Focus — Built for AU market, expandable to US/UK/CA/NZ

Semi-Automatic by Design

Kairos is intentionally semi-automatic. It handles the grunt work but keeps you in control:

  • You review every resume modification before saving
  • You click the final submit button in your browser
  • You decide which jobs to pursue based on match scores

cargo install --path crates/kairos-tui
