AIHawk is an open-source AI agent designed to automate and personalize the job application process for job seekers. It aims to streamline the often time-consuming and repetitive task of applying to multiple jobs, providing users with a competitive edge in the job market.

How It Works

AIHawk leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to tailor applications. Users configure their personal details, education, experience, and work preferences in YAML files. The agent then uses this information to generate personalized content for job applications, potentially including resume and cover letter generation. It supports various LLM providers like OpenAI, Ollama, Anthropic (Claude), and Google Gemini, allowing flexibility in model choice and deployment (local or cloud-based).

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, activate it, and run pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Prerequisites: Python 3.10+, Google Chrome, C++ build tools (for Windows).
• Configuration: Requires secrets.yaml with LLM API keys and plain_text_resume.yaml with user profile data.
• Documentation: Ollama Setup, YAML Editing Guide.
