Fieldcraft Overview

Fieldcraft is a local-first Chrome extension designed to streamline the job application process. It intelligently reads job pages, evaluates how well a role fits your saved profile, researches the company, and drafts truthful answers for your review before you submit them.

• Local-First Approach: All your profile data and API keys remain securely within your browser, with no server-side storage.

• Intelligent Evaluation: The extension scores the fit of a job role against your profile, identifies gaps, and provides a concise company brief.

• Drafting Assistance: It drafts answers for form fields based on your profile and research, which you can review and edit before insertion.

• User Control: Explicit user approval is required before any drafted answer is inserted, ensuring you remain in control of submissions.

• Seamless Integration: Operates as a Chrome side-panel extension directly within the job page, eliminating the need for a separate dashboard.

Technical Implementation

The product is built as a Chrome MV3 side-panel extension with a companion Next.js marketing site. The extension utilizes a Vite + CRXJS build, a React side panel, and background scripts for content injection. The marketing site features GSAP animations, semantic HTML, and optimized metadata for search engines.

Impact

• Time Savings: Cuts per-application time by approximately 55–65% through automation of reading, parsing, scoring, and drafting.

• Reduced Context Switching: Decreases research and tab switching by about 70–80% by providing key information within the side panel.
