Eight job-search bots — none of them hit send

Job search burns weeks. AI slop apps get filtered. Bots draft; you stay human on outbound.

What hurt

Pat Bergstresser (@PatBergie) ran his job search with eight Grok Bots for a month after an unexpected layoff. Roles: Job Search (boards + fit 1–10), New Job Alert (company career pages within 4h — not aggregators), Warm Intros (1st/2nd connections), Application Drafting (fit ≥7 packages to his email), Cover Letter Bro (content only, not a finished letter), Interview Research, Meeting Notes (transcripts → takeaways → next steps), Chief of Staff. Hard rule: bots do bot work; only he sends. Metrics he shared: 90+ roles scored, 70 warm-intro maps, 20 full packages, notes on 35 calls — ~80 hours he would have done by hand. Tip only for the role split — author-quoted rule below. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

Eight named bots + CoS. Career-page alerts beat aggregators. Fit ≥7 before drafting. You write and send every outbound.

Bots

  • Job Search

    Scans boards for target roles; scores fit 1–10 into a tracker.

  • New Job Alert

    Watches company career pages (not aggregators) within ~4 hours.

  • Warm Intros

    Maps 1st/2nd connections at target companies.

  • Application Drafting

    For fit ≥7, emails you a pre-drafted application package.

  • Cover Letter Bro

    Drafts cover-letter content points — not the finished letter.

  • Interview Research

    Researches company and interviewer before each interview.

  • Meeting Notes

    Pulls call transcripts, takeaways, and next-step recommendations.

  • Chief of Staff

    Orchestrates the crew. Never sends outbound for you.

Plugins

  • Gmail

    Optional

  • Browser

    Required

Files

  • Target companies, role titles, and a fit-score tracker.

Routines

  • None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.

The prompt

Author-quoted rule: “Bots do things bots can do. I do things only humans can do. All outbound comes from me personally.”

Quoted from @PatBergie — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.

Last line is our approval fence: Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.

Bots do things bots can do. I do things only humans can do. All outbound comes from me personally.

Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/PatBergie/status/2101753200957394987 (full note lists all eight bots and metrics).
  2. 2Create the eight bots (or fewer) with the jobs above. Pin a Chief of Staff as the funnel.
  3. 3Point New Job Alert at company career pages — not only aggregators.
  4. 4Fence every send: applications, emails, InMails wait for your yes. You rewrite so it stays human.
  5. 5Optional: hang Interview Research + Meeting Notes on your interview calendar.

Approval fence

Do not send applications, emails, InMails, or open live applications without your yes. No invented resume lines.

What to tweak

Steal the never-send fence and career-page watch. AI for volume; human for outbound.
