AI job matching and auto-apply — with transparency and DACH-market quality.

Applai is built for Germany, the UK and international seekers: grounded English and German cover letters, ATS-optimised CVs, review-first portal auto-fill, and a live feed of everything it does so you always know what was sent on your behalf.
