This method takes about 3 minutes and does not require any coding knowledge.
- Go to the GitHub releases page:
github.com/EurusNotes/Autoscount_AI - Click the green
<> Codebutton near the top-right of the page - Click
Download ZIP - A file called
Autoscount_AI-main.zipwill be downloaded to your computer (usually in yourDownloadsfolder)
- Windows: Right-click the ZIP file → Extract All → click Extract
- Mac: Double-click the ZIP file — it extracts automatically
You will now have a folder called Autoscount_AI-main. Open it and look inside — you should see another folder called autoscout-ai. This inner folder is the one you need.
- Open Google Chrome (this extension does not work on Safari, Firefox, or Edge)
- In the address bar at the top, type the following and press Enter:
chrome://extensions - You will see a page titled "Extensions"
- Look at the top-right corner of the Extensions page
- You will see a toggle switch labelled "Developer mode"
- Click it to turn it ON — the toggle should turn blue
- Three new buttons will appear at the top-left: Load unpacked, Pack extension, and Update
- Click "Load unpacked" (the leftmost of the three new buttons)
- A file picker window opens
- Navigate to the
Autoscount_AI-mainfolder you unzipped in Step 2 - Open it and select the
autoscout-aiinner folder (the one that containsmanifest.json) - Click Select (Mac) or Select Folder (Windows)
How do I know I selected the right folder?
The correct folder contains a file calledmanifest.json. If you open it in a text editor it starts with"manifest_version": 3.
- The Extensions page should now show a card for AutoScout AI
- Go to your Chrome toolbar (top-right of the browser)
- Click the puzzle piece icon 🧩
- Find AutoScout AI in the list and click the pin icon 📌 next to it
- The AutoScout AI icon now appears permanently in your toolbar
Important: After installing, refresh any job-listing tabs that were already open before the extension was installed.
When a new version is released on GitHub, repeat Steps 1–5 using the new ZIP. After loading the new folder, click the circular refresh icon on the AutoScout AI card on the Extensions page, then refresh any open job tabs.
Click the AutoScout AI icon in your toolbar to open the settings panel.
Recommended: Gemini (free tier)
Gemini has a generous free quota — no credit card required.
- Go to aistudio.google.com/app/apikey
- Click Create API key
- Copy the key (starts with
AIza...) - In the popup, make sure Provider is set to
Gemini ✦ Recommended - Paste the key into the API Key field
When you save, the extension sends a lightweight test request to verify the key. A green ✓ Valid badge confirms it worked.
Using a different provider?
Select your provider from the dropdown and enter the corresponding key. See the LLM Provider table below for links to each provider's key page.
Uploading your PDF résumé lets Gemini auto-fill your profile — no manual typing needed.
- Make sure your Gemini API key is entered (Step 1)
- Click Upload PDF Resume or drag-and-drop your PDF
- Wait a few seconds while Gemini extracts your details
- Review the filled fields and correct anything if needed
PDF parsing only works with the Gemini provider. If you are using OpenAI, Claude, or another provider, fill your profile fields manually.
Review and edit the following fields before saving:
| Field | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Result Language | Language for the analysis output | English / 中文 / हिन्दी / 日本語 |

| Visa Status | Your current visa and work rights | Subclass 485, full work rights |
| Target Role | The type of job you are looking for | Software Engineer, Data Analyst |
| Core Skills | Key technical skills, comma-separated | Python, SQL, React, AWS |
| Years of Experience | Your experience level | 1–2 years or Graduate |
| Work & Project History | Brief summary of past roles and notable projects (max 400 chars sent to LLM) | 1 yr ML Engineer at Acme. Built LLM-based code reviewer for final year project. |
Click Save Profile when done. The extension validates your API key (if it is new) and then saves everything locally on your device.
At the bottom of the popup, toggle the analysis mode:
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Auto | Automatically analyses every job page you open — no clicks needed |
| Manual | A green "Analyze this job" button appears; you decide when to trigger analysis |
Tip: Use Manual mode if you want to control API usage. Auto mode is best when you are doing a bulk job search session.

- The result card appears automatically within a few seconds
- Read the analysis, then move on to the next listing
- Open a job listing
- Click the green "Analyze this job" button (top-right corner of the page)
- Wait for the card to appear — a live timer shows elapsed seconds
- If the analysis takes longer than 15 seconds, a "Taking longer than usual" message appears

Q: Is my data safe? Does it get sent anywhere?
Your profile and API key are stored only on your local device via chrome.storage.local. The job description text and your profile are sent to your chosen LLM provider solely to generate the analysis. No data is sent to any other server. No analytics, no tracking.
Q: Why does it say "Could not extract job description"?
Some pages load content dynamically. Try switching to Manual mode and clicking the "Analyze this job" button after the page has fully loaded.
Q: The analysis is slow — is something wrong?
A live timer shows how long the analysis is taking. If it exceeds 15 seconds, a notice appears. This is usually caused by the LLM provider being under high load. Try again in a moment, or switch to a different provider.
Q: My API key shows ✗ Invalid — but I copied it correctly.
Double-check that you selected the correct Provider in the dropdown. Each provider has a different key format (Gemini starts with AIza, OpenAI/DeepSeek start with sk-, Claude with sk-ant-).
Q: I updated my profile but the analysis still uses my old information.
Click Save Profile after editing. Changes are only applied after saving. If the key is unchanged, saving is instant (no re-validation).
Q: Can I use this on sites other than the supported list?
Yes. On any page that looks like a job listing, the "Analyze this job" button appears automatically. You can trigger analysis on any site as long as the job description text is visible on the page.
Q: Why does the result card not show on Hatch?
Hatch opens job listings inside a modal overlay. Clicking the browser toolbar icon causes the modal to close due to focus events. Use the green "Analyze this job" button that appears directly on the page instead.

| Resume upload button is greyed out | Switch provider to Gemini — PDF parsing requires Gemini |
