Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 4)

AutoApply (AA) is a local, deterministic web-interface comprehension system that uses geometric algorithms (Hungarian assignment, convex hulls, structural hashing) to operate unfamiliar web forms without per-site selectors or network AI. It aims to automate job applications and record research data, but has never successfully submitted an application due to CAPTCHA and login barriers. The project's transparency about its limitations and its novel constraint-based approach make it an interesting research prototype.

Target audience: researchers, python developers, job seekers, web automation engineers
