Idynic Job Copilot

Saves the posting in the tab you are already looking at, and fills the routine fields of an application form from your portrait. It works in both directions so you are not copying the same information back and forth by hand.

Saving works on any job page: the extension reads the page you are on and Idynic extracts the title, company, and requirements server side. It recognises a posting you have already saved and links you to it instead of creating a second copy.

On an application form it can prefill your contact details, links, current role, and most recent school. It never submits anything. You review every field and press submit yourself.

What it does
  • Save the posting in the current tab
  • Prefill supported application forms
  • Extra metadata on LinkedIn postings
  • Recognise jobs you already saved
  • Paste the description manually as a fallback
Current version
Idynic Job Copilot 1.1.0
Manifest V3

Install

Install from the Chrome Web Store. It runs on Chromium browsers that install Chrome Web Store extensions, which includes Chrome, Edge, and Brave.

Add to Chrome

After installing, pin it: click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar, then the pin next to Idynic. The extension does its work from the popup, so it is worth one click away.

Requirements
An Idynic account. Free accounts can save and score roles; check pricing for the monthly allowances.

Connect your account

One click. There is no key to copy for the normal path.

  1. 1. Click Connect Account

    Open the extension popup and click Connect Account. It opens idynic.com/auth/extension in a new tab.

  2. 2. Sign in if you are not already

    The page signs you in the same way the app does, then hands the extension a single-use connect code.

  3. 3. That is it

    The extension exchanges the code for its own token in the background and the popup switches to the connected state. You can confirm or disconnect any time from its options page.

Using an API key instead

The options page also accepts an idn_ API key, which is useful if you want to scope the extension narrowly or run it against a non-default environment. Create one in Settings, API Keys and paste it under the API key section. It needs read:profile, read:opportunities, and write:opportunities.

API key format
idn_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Where credentials live
The token or key is stored in the extension's own browser storage and sent only to idynic.com. Disconnect from the options page, or revoke the key in Settings, and the extension stops working immediately.

Saving jobs

The basic loop

  1. Open a job posting in any tab
  2. Click the Idynic icon
  3. Click Save Job
  4. The posting is queued, and the popup follows it through validating, extracting, researching, and matching until it lands in your opportunities

Saving hands the work to a background pipeline rather than holding the popup open for it, so you can close the popup and keep browsing. Tailoring is queued automatically once the save finishes.

Already saved

The popup checks the URL before you click. If the role is already tracked, or already sitting in your review queue, it says so and links you straight to it.

LinkedIn postings

LinkedIn job URLs get an extra enrichment pass server side for metadata the page itself does not expose to an anonymous fetch, such as the external application link. It runs in the background and fills in what it finds.

When extraction fails

Some pages render the description in a way the extension cannot read. Click Paste description manually, paste the text, and save from there. The result is the same.

Where it works
Any page with a job description on it. There is no per-board allowlist for saving; the extension reads the tab you are on and Idynic does the extraction.
Boards with extra behaviour
  • LinkedIn: metadata enrichment after the save
  • Greenhouse, Workable, Fillout: application-form prefill, below

Prefill an application

On an application form the extension has an adapter for, it can fill the routine fields from your portrait so your time goes to the questions that actually need you.

Running a prefill

  1. Open the application form on Greenhouse, Workable, Fillout
  2. Click the Idynic icon
  3. Click Prefill this application. The button only appears on forms the extension can fill
  4. Grant the one-time permission prompt if Chrome asks
  5. Review every filled field, then submit it yourself

What gets filled

Name, email, phone, LinkedIn, GitHub and portfolio links, your location, your current company and title, and your most recent school and degree. Anything missing from your profile is left blank. The extension does not guess at a value.

What never gets filled

Free-text essay questions, and EEO or demographic questions, are never touched. For the essays, generate Q&A drafts on the opportunity's tailored profile in Idynic and paste the answers you want.

You press submit

The extension reports how many fields it filled and stops there. It does not submit applications.

Adapters
Greenhouse
Workable
Fillout
After a prefill
"Filled 11 fields - review before submitting. You press submit."
Requires
Extension v1.0.5 or later, and a profile with contact details filled in.

Permissions

The extension asks for as little as it can, and asks late rather than up front.

Standing access

Only https://idynic.com/*. That is where your portrait lives and where saves are sent.

The tab you are on

Reading the current posting uses activeTab, which grants access to one tab at the moment you click the extension, and not before.

Application forms

Access to the prefill hosts is optional and requested the first time you run a prefill there, which is the permission prompt in step 4 above. Decline it and saving still works.

Standing host permissions
https://idynic.com/*
Optional, prompted on first use
https://*.greenhouse.io/*
https://*.lever.co/*
https://*.ashbyhq.com/*
https://*.myworkdayjobs.com/*
https://*.workable.com/*
https://*.fillout.com/*

Troubleshooting

"Couldn't extract job"

The page renders its description in a way the extension cannot read. Use Paste description manually and paste the text from the page.

Session expired, or every save fails

Open the options page and click Test Connection. If it fails, click Connect Account again. If you are on the API key path instead, the key may have been revoked; create a new one in Settings, API Keys.

No "Prefill this application" button

The button only shows on forms the extension has an adapter for: Greenhouse, Workable, Fillout. On a job board listing, or an ATS without an adapter, you will only see the save options.

"No matching fields found on this form"

Either the form uses field names the extension does not recognise, or your profile is missing the details it would have filled. Add your contact info and work history in your profile and try again.

Extension not appearing

Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar to see all extensions, then the pin next to Idynic to keep it visible.
