Platesea writes cover letters from your résumé and never invents experience.

Automating the Application Process

Manual forms take time. Platesea applies to jobs for you on employers' own career sites.

It reads new postings every 30 minutes, scores each for fit, and only applies to strong matches. It fills in each employer's own application form, answers questions, and writes cover letters from your résumé.

Every application includes a screen recording and a list of what it entered. Only applications it submits count. Failed or skipped ones do not use an application.

Controlling Your Pipeline

You control where applications go. Set minimum salary, block companies, choose how picky Platesea is, set daily limits, and cap applications to one company.

Unused applications never expire. When they run out, Platesea can buy more automatically or stop.
