A different kind of auto-apply
Automated job applications that skip the application
Most automated job applications automate the form, so more of your applications join the pile. The Anti Job Board automates the rest: it finds the jobs, hidden ones too, the person hiring for each, and writes them a short email built on something you've made. All that's left for you is to read it and press send.
As of : 106,000+ live roles at 13,000+ startups and tech companies, 15,000+ new in a typical week. From $7.84 a week.
The fastest way to apply isn't a form
Auto-apply tools make the form faster. We skip it. Here's how the two compare; we read the auto-apply tools' own pages on November 15, 2026.
| Compared | Auto-apply tools | The Anti Job Board |
|---|---|---|
| What gets automated | Filling in and submitting the application form[1] | Finding the role, the person hiring and their email, and writing to them |
| Where it lands | The company's applicant tracking system, with every other applicant | The inbox of the person who leads hiring for the role |
| What it shows | Your resume and the answers to the form's questions[1] | One thing you've made that fits the job, with a link they can click |
| Which jobs | Jobs with a posting and a form | Posted roles, plus hidden jobs at startups that just raised, before there's an ad |
| Volume | Hundreds or thousands of applications a month on some plans[2] | Fewer, better ones: 100 a month, 250 a month, 750 over 3 months, depending on the plan |
| Who presses send | The tool, after your OK[1] or with no review step[3] | You, from your own Gmail |
What autopilot automates
- 1
It finds the jobs, hidden ones too
Every morning it reads new roles from startups' own careers pages (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable and Recruitee), Y Combinator's Work at a Startup and Wellfound. It also watches funding news and hiring posts for startups that just raised and are about to hire, so you can reach them before there's a job ad.
- 2
It finds the person hiring
For each role, the person who leads hiring for that team, by name, with a work email that's been through a mailbox check.
- 3
It writes the application: a proof-of-work email
A short email in your voice that points at one thing you've made that fits the job (your GitHub, a portfolio, a demo, a launch) and a reason for wanting it that's something you've already done. It's built only from what's real, so it never claims a number or a win you don't have.
- 4
It writes your follow-ups
If they haven't replied, a short follow-up 3, 5 and 7 days after you send, with a reminder when each is due.
What's left for you: read each email, change anything you like, and send it from your own Gmail.

Frequently asked questions
Is The Anti Job Board an auto-apply tool?
In a sense. It automates applying, but not the form: it finds the job, the person hiring and their email, and writes the application as a short cold email built on your proof of work. It doesn't auto-apply or fill in application forms for you. You read each email and send it from your own Gmail.
Why a cold email instead of an application form?
A form puts you in the applicant tracking system with everyone else who applied, and auto-apply tools make that pile bigger. An email to the person hiring, pointing at something you've made, lands with the one person who decides, and you can send it to a startup before it has posted the job.
What are hidden jobs?
Roles a startup is about to hire for but hasn't posted yet. Autopilot finds startups that just raised a pre-seed to Series C round, and hiring posts on X, and shows members the ones that fit their roles, so they can write before the job ad goes up.
Does it send applications without me?
No. Every email waits for you to read it and press Send, and it goes from your own Gmail. If you're not on Gmail, you copy it into any mail app and mark it sent.
Is there a free version?
There's no free plan, but internship and entry-level listings are free to browse, and a free run shows how many live roles fit you before you pay.
