What is OfferPilot?
OfferPilot is an open-source, local-first job search agent that puts your applications, resumes, interviews, and offers into a single workspace. It provides a Kanban board for tracking application stages, a resume manager with versioning, AI-assisted material generation tailored to job descriptions, text-based mock interview practice with AI follow-up questions, offer comparison with customizable dimensions, and a built-in Pilot agent that can query your saved data, draft content, and propose updates to key records after your confirmation. The software runs as a web application (React frontend + Python/FastAPI backend) accessible via Docker, source code with uv and npm, or an experimental unsigned Windows desktop installer. Data is stored locally in SQLite. AI features require configuring your own model provider (via LiteLLM) and may send data to that provider. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and maintained by the offercontext organization.

OfferPilot README
FAQ
Does OfferPilot automatically apply to jobs or contact recruiters?
No. OfferPilot is for managing the job search process, preparing materials, and organizing suggestions. It does not automatically submit applications or send messages to recruiters. Critical record changes require user confirmation.
Does local-first mean my data never leaves my device?
No. Business data is stored locally, but when using AI features, relevant data is sent to your configured model service and may incur provider costs. Local storage does not mean all AI computation happens locally.
Can I use OfferPilot without configuring AI?
Yes. Basic features like recording applications, saving job descriptions, and manually editing materials work without AI. AI features like material generation, mock Q&A, and AI analysis require configuring a model service.
