A Windows app that reads the Wyzant job board, decides which postings are worth answering, prices each one, writes the application and submits it. It runs unattended on a timer. The model can run entirely on your own PC — free, private, no key — or on your own API key.
Automating job applications is very likely against Wyzant’s Terms of Service, and accounts that do it can be suspended. That is a decision for whoever runs it, and the consequences land on their account — not ours. This is stated here for the same reason it is the first thing in the manual: you should be able to decide against it before you install anything.
There is no cloud service in the middle. The only thing that leaves your PC is the job application itself, and that goes to Wyzant from inside the Chrome you are already signed into.

| Decision | Decided by |
|---|---|
| Is the subject one you actually take | code |
| Is it a skip — wrong level, agency posting, a subject you are not cleared for | code |
| Is it a partial-subject fit, where the whole posting should be skipped | code |
| Have we already applied to this job | code |
| Which rate band the posting falls in | code |
| The exact rate inside that band | model, then clamped |
| The message text | model, then validated |
| Length, plain ASCII, no money talk, no credential boasting, the days and hours you allow, no invented subject, correct grammar | code |
| Fetch the posting, build the form, submit | code |
A message that breaks a rule is handed back to the model with the exact complaint and rewritten, up to a configured number of attempts. After that the posting is skipped. A skipped posting costs nothing; a bad application goes to a real person.
The application form carries a suggested rate that simply mirrors your profile. It has read the same number against four different postings. The bid comes from the posting’s own recommendation instead.
Splitting them lost a real application once — the form token dies in the gap. They stay fused.
If the form that comes back is not for the posting we meant to answer, it aborts rather than submitting to the wrong one.
Not a running count. Two runs can overlap, so a count that moved may have been moved by something else.
The model once answered a general chemistry posting with “organic chemistry mechanisms.” A course it names must appear in the posting.
A rate band outside the hard floor or ceiling is flagged when you save it, because the hard limits win and the edit would otherwise look accepted and do nothing.
It reads the board and applies. That is the whole job.
You need Windows, Chrome, and either Ollama with a model pulled locally, or an API key you already pay for. There is a self-test you can run that checks the whole chain and touches nothing on wyzant.com.
Not a subscription. You own the copy you buy, and it keeps working whether or not I do anything else with it. There is nothing to cancel and no account on my side.
The app, the Chrome bridge, and the manual. Every setting described on this page is yours to change — subjects, skips, rate bands, message rules, timing.
Nothing, if you run the model on your own PC. If you would rather use Claude or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, that is your own API key and your own bill — it never touches mine.
What I am not going to claim: that it will get you students. I built it for my own tutoring account and I can tell you what it does mechanically — it reads the board and applies, quickly, all day, without you. Whether an application turns into a booking depends on your profile, your rates and your subjects, and I am not going to pretend otherwise on a sales page.
Tell me which subjects you are cleared for and roughly how you tutor, and I will tell you whether it is a fit before you pay anything.
