ScoutAI is an AI job search agent that matches your resume to real, verified roles, generates tailored cover letters and resumes in seconds, and filters out the 40% of listings that are ghost jobs — all in one platform.
A ghost job is a job listing posted online with no real intent to hire — either the role has been filled, the company is collecting resumes speculatively, or the listing was never tied to an active headcount. Research estimates 40% of all online job listings are ghost jobs. ScoutAI cross-references ATS systems (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever) that companies actually use to process applications, filtering out listings that don't have a verified source.
ScoutAI parses your resume to extract your experience, skills, metrics, and career context. For each job listing, it analyzes the role requirements and scores the match against your actual background — not keyword overlap, but semantic relevance. You see match scores and explanations for every role, so you can apply where you're genuinely competitive.
ScoutAI uses Claude (by Anthropic) to write tailored cover letters that reference your specific work history, metrics, and career story — matched to what each role actually requires. It takes seconds, not 45 minutes. The humanization slider lets you tune how formal or casual the tone is. You can regenerate, edit, and export to PDF or DOCX.
The Resume Engine parses your uploaded resume (PDF, DOCX, or TXT), scores it against 10 criteria including ATS compatibility, quantifiable impact, and keyword density, then generates a rewritten version with stronger bullets and better structure. You can accept, reject, or edit each rewritten section individually before downloading.
ScoutAI was built by Sonny Steele — a UX design leader who has spent 20 years designing AI products and has navigated enough job searches to know exactly how painful, opaque, and inefficient the process is. This is the tool he wished existed.
