1. The Auto-Apply Landscape in 2026
Job search automation tools have split into two distinct categories:
- Global Chrome Extensions & Bots (e.g., LazyApply, JobCopilot): Built primarily for US/European LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter markets. They often choke on Indian fields like CTC in Lakhs, notice period, and college Tier distinctions.
- India-Specific Platforms (e.g., Cloudvyn, Hopin, Hireoo, myjobb): Tailored for Naukri, Hirist, Instahyre, and Indian startup career portals.
