Launchway - AI-Powered Job Application CLI

Automate your job search: tailor your resume with AI, find matching jobs, and apply autonomously.

---

Installation

pip install launchway

On first launch, Launchway runs a short setup wizard where you can choose your AI provider (or skip it entirely and decide later). Browser binaries (Chromium) are downloaded automatically on first use.

Requirements

AI Provider

Launchway works out of the box with no API key. On first launch you will be asked:

  1. Use Launchway AI  (recommended - no API key needed)
  2. Use my own Gemini API key
  3. Skip for now - decide later

Option 1 (default): Launchway's built-in AI handles everything. No key, no quota, no setup.

Option 2: Bring your own free Google Gemini API key. Useful for power users who want full control over their own AI quota.

Option 3: Skip entirely and configure later from Settings → AI Provider.

You can switch between providers at any time from the Settings menu inside the CLI.

How It Works

1. Import your resume - paste a Google Doc URL, upload a PDF/DOCX, or provide a LaTeX ZIP.
2. Tailor - Launchway rewrites your resume bullets to match a job description.
3. Apply - Launchway opens Chromium, navigates to the application form, and fills every field using your profile.

All your data (profile, applications) is stored securely in your Launchway account and synced across devices.
