Stagehand + Browserbase + Exa: Intelligent Job Application Automation

AT A GLANCE

Goal: Automate job applications with AI that writes smart, tailored responses for each role.
Pattern Template: Shows how to combine Exa (find companies & jobs) + Browserbase (control browser) + Stagehand Agent (fill forms smartly).
Workflow: Exa finds companies you want, then finds their careers pages. Browserbase opens the page, Stagehand reads the job posting, and an AI agent fills out the application form with answers tailored to that specific job.
Plans: Sequential mode works on all plans; concurrent applications and proxies require Startup or Developer plan or higher (concurrency, proxies).
Docs → Stagehand Agent | Exa Search | Stagehand Extract

Search for companies — Exa finds companies matching your criteria (e.g., "AI startups in SF")
Find careers pages — For each company, Exa searches for their careers/jobs page
Extract job details — Stagehand reads the job posting and extracts structured data (title, requirements, responsibilities)
Smart form filling — AI agent fills out application fields with tailored responses based on the job description
Resume upload — Playwright handles file uploads for resume/CV attachments

agent: An AI that can plan and do multi-step tasks on its own. It looks at the page and decides what to do next without needing step-by-step instructions. Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
extract: Pull structured data from web pages. You define what you want (job title, requirements, etc.) and it returns clean JSON. Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
Exa Search: AI search engine that finds relevant web content. Can search for companies, find similar pages, and filter by date. Docs → https://docs.exa.ai/reference/search
Tailored responses: The AI reads the job requirements and writes custom answers for cover letters and open-ended questions that highlight relevant skills.
