Knight

Privacy-first Chrome extension for job applications. Knight parses your resume locally or through your chosen provider, autofills common ATS portals, logs applications, syncs Gmail status updates, and drafts follow-ups without forcing your profile through a hosted AI workflow.

What It Does

• Local-first resume parsing for PDF, DOCX, and TXT
• LangExtract-powered local resume parser sidecar with PyMuPDF and optional Tesseract OCR
• AI provider support for Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and OpenRouter
• Smart defaults that auto-discover installed Ollama models and recommend the best reachable provider/model
• Autofill support for Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Naukri, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, Taleo, SuccessFactors, plus a generic fallback
• In-page review overlay before filling
• Local application log with status history
• Gmail read-only sync for confirmations, interviews, rejections, and offers
• Follow-up email draft generation with the active provider

Quick Start

git clone git@github.com:sir-ad/knight.git
cd knight/resume-parser-sidecar
./scripts/setup-venv.sh
./scripts/run.sh

In another terminal:

cd knight/careerflow
npm install
npm run build

Then load careerflow/build/chrome-mv3-prod in chrome://extensions with Developer Mode enabled.

Local Requirements

• Node.js 20+
• Python 3.11+
• The local resume parser sidecar running on http://127.0.0.1:43118
• Ollama running locally for the privacy-first path
• A pulled model such as llama3.2:3b
• tesseract installed locally if you want OCR for scanned PDF resumes
• Optional cloud provider API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter
• Optional Gmail OAuth setup using PLASMO_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID

cd resume-parser-sidecar
./scripts/setup-venv.sh
./scripts/run.sh

cd ../careerflow
OLLAMA_ORIGINS=chrome-extension://* ollama serve
ollama pull llama3.2:3b

Knight expects the Ollama endpoint as the host root only, for example http://localhost:11434. Do not add /api to the saved endpoint. Knight expects the resume parser service to stay on the default local URL unless you explicitly move it: http://127.0.0.1:43118.
