What is jev-job-search?

It is an open-source job application tool built on Claude Code. It finds software internships and new-grad roles, fills application forms in a Chrome window you can watch, reads every answer back from the page, and sends the ones you approve, with records in local CSV files.

How do JEV and Claude divide the work?

JEV, a model built for typed judgments, makes every decision with a fixed set of answers (which of your details goes in a box, which option, how good a fit a job is) in about half a second for a fraction of a cent. Claude, on your subscription, writes the sentences.

How do I install and set up jev-job-search?

Clone the repo and run npm install, then open claude in the folder and type /setup. Setup reads your resume, asks only what it needs, opens .env for your OpenRouter key and ends with one application filled and waiting for your yes; about 20 minutes, most of it your answers.

What does jev-job-search cost to run?

Your Claude subscription plus a few dollars of OpenRouter credit for JEV: about 1 to 1.5 cents per 10 applications and 7 to 9 cents per search, so five dollars covers about 60 searches and 3,000 applications according to the README.

What checks stop a form from being sent?

Your right to work, education and dates come from your profile and are never changed to fit a form; a required question the profile cannot answer holds the form; every value is read back from the page; and a signature, an NDA or a human check stops the form for you.

What are the current limits of the tool?

It is a beta with no installer: forms on boards it has not met will hold. The inbox and Workday account features are in progress, daily runs are capped at 15 applications with pauses when boards ask for a human check, and it writes in English for roles in Canada, the US or remote.

Who built jev-job-search and under what license?

The GitHub user qbeka publishes it under the MIT license; the repository was created 2026-10-02 and pushed 2026-10-15. The README states it is independent and not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenRouter or any job board, with no token, coin or paid tier.

Jev on the Gateways: Vercel, Workers AI, and OpenRouter

The request shape barely changes across surfaces; the surrounding contract does. When to call the API directly and when a gateway, a Worker binding, or a router entry earns its extra hop.
