The anti–AI-slop job application tool
Ideas, dot points and direction. Never the words.
Recruiters are drowning in applications written by the same robot, and the genuine ones sink with them. Bower won’t write yours — not a line of it. It digs out what you’ve actually done, reads the ad, and tells you straight whether the job’s worth your time.
Three steps. None of them writing.
- 01
Tell it what you've actually done
A proper interview, not a résumé upload. Bower digs past job titles to the things you changed, shipped, saved and grew — captured once, reused for every application.
- 02
Paste in a job ad
Any job board, any format. Bower pulls out what the role is really asking for, underneath the boilerplate.
- 03
Get the honest read
A fit score with reasons, and dot points matching their requirements to your evidence — what to lead with, what to leave out, and how strong your hand really is.
The words are yours. That’s the whole point.
every other tool
“I am writing to express my enthusiasm for this exciting opportunity to leverage my synergistic skill set and passion for innovation to drive impactful outcomes for your dynamic team. Throughout my career journey I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence…”
sounds like everyone
Bower
- • they want process improvement — lead with the invoicing fix: 9 days down to 2
- • “stakeholder management” here means holding the line with two vendors — your Telstra story
- • fit: 7/10 — strong on ops, thin on people leadership; be upfront about it
sounds like you
Bower never drafts a sentence of your application. Not a cover letter, not a summary, not a “suggested rewrite”. You get the raw material and the direction — the voice stays yours.
Sometimes the honest read is “don’t apply”.
A fit score that’s always 8 out of 10 isn’t a score, it’s flattery. When the role’s wrong, Bower says so — with reasons — and your best writing goes to a job that deserves it. Fewer, better applications beat volume.
fit: 3/10
- • they need someone who’s run a payroll migration — you’ve scoped one, never run one
- • “wear many hats” here means the team they promised isn’t funded yet
call: skip it. Tuesday’s council role is the stronger hand — spend the evening there.
Your next application could actually sound like you.
Bower is for people who write their own. First invitations go out soon — small batches, first in first served.
