Every AI writing tool I tried had the same problem: it didn't know what I was replying to.
I'd open a new tab, paste in the email, explain the situation, ask for a reply, copy it back, fix the formatting… and by then I could have written it myself. Job applications were worse. I typed my name, my LinkedIn and "Yes, I'm authorized to work in…" into what felt like the same form a hundred times.
So we built KittyHome, a Chrome extension that works in the box you're already in and actually reads the room. 🐱
TL;DR
- Alt+K in any text box on any site: say what you want and get a draft that fits the conversation.
- Short suggestions while you type (1 to 3 words, Tab to take them) in Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn messages, WhatsApp Web, Telegram Web and Discord.
- Job application autofill that cares about getting each answer right, not just filling boxes.
- Free plan: 25 AI requests a day, unlimited profile autofill and 5 AI Smart fills a day.
✍️ Part 1: an AI writer that knows the context
It reads what you're answering
This is the big one. When you press Alt+K, KittyHome doesn't only send your prompt. It sends the bits that matter:
| Where you are | What it reads |
|---|---|
| The thread you're replying to. Signatures, footers and quoted history are left out, so it answers the latest message. | |
| Chats | The last few messages, so the reply follows the conversation, in its language and tone. |
| Comments | The post you're replying to, with its author and code blocks, even on sites that don't mark up their posts. |
| Google Docs | The text around your cursor or selection, so an insert fits its paragraph. |
That means a lazy prompt like "reply in the same style" or "politely decline" gives you something that actually fits. You can skip the paragraph of backstory.
Suggestions that are usually right
Most autocomplete tools try to finish your whole sentence and are wrong most of the time. KittyHome suggests one to three words. Short suggestions are right far more often, so you actually press Tab instead of ignoring grey text.
It's also polite: when Gmail or Outlook is already suggesting, KittyHome steps back, and every hint is marked as KittyHome's so you always know where it came from.
Other handy features
- Rewrite a selection or your whole draft: "fix the grammar", "shorter", "friendlier".
- Translate and explain anything you select, with a language picker, and the text highlighted on the page.
- Email helpers: summarize a long email and pick a one-click reply idea.
- A marker shows exactly where an insert will land, because we've all lost our cursor.
- Look it up (paid plans): it searches the web first and shows its sources, so it doesn't make facts up.
- Sound like me / Your voice (paid plans): it cleans out stock AI phrases and can learn your writing style from your own samples.
💼 Part 2: job application autofill that gets it right
Filling a box is easy. Filling it with the right answer is the hard part. One wrong click on "Will you require sponsorship?" can quietly end an application.
Here's what KittyHome does that most autofill tools don't:
- 🌍 Per-country answers. Work authorization and sponsorship have a row per country. "Will you be based in the U.S. or Canada?" is checked against both.
- 🧠 Answers worked out from your profile. "Do you have 5+ years of experience with Python?" gets a yes or no from your work history, not a number pasted into the wrong field.
- 🔽 Custom drop-downs, handled like a human would. It opens them and searches, so "UK" also tries "United Kingdom", and a phone picker that only shows "+1" is matched by its dialing code.
- ✅ It checks that each answer took. Some sites quietly reset fields. KittyHome checks every field kept its value and tells you which didn't.
- 🙅 No guessing. Anything it isn't sure about is left blank and listed, and "Show it on the page" spotlights each one. A blank field you can see beats a confident wrong answer.
- ✍️ Smart fill for open questions. "Why do you want to work here?" is drafted from the job posting on the page plus your own experience, within the question's word limit.
- 📎 Résumé and cover letter uploads, forms inside iframes, and multi-step forms.
- 🎯 Tuned for Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Jobvite and Workable, and it works on ordinary forms anywhere else.
- 🛑 It never presses Submit. You read it over and send it yourself.
🥊 How it compares
I'll be honest: these are all good tools at what they're built for. Here's where KittyHome pulls ahead.
vs Grammarly, Wordtune and QuillBot
- They're great at polishing what you wrote. KittyHome is built for working out what to say, from the conversation on the page.
- More free AI: 25 requests a day, against Grammarly's 100 AI prompts a month and Wordtune's 10 rewrites a day.
- Short typing suggestions in your chats and inbox, not only in a separate editor.
- Writing and job applications in one extension, with one plan.
vs Simplify, Jobright and LazyApply
- Accuracy first: per-country answers, a check that each field took, and nothing guessed.
- AI answers for open questions on the free plan (5 Smart fills a day), while others put AI answers behind paid plans or keep free autofills to a few a day.
- Your review stays in the loop. Auto-apply bots send answers you never read. KittyHome fills in seconds and leaves the final read to you.
- Private by default: your profile stays in your browser unless you choose to sync an encrypted copy.
- It also writes the follow-ups: recruiter emails, LinkedIn messages and thank-you notes, using the same Alt+K.
| KittyHome | Typical writing tool | Typical autofill tool | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reads the thread or post you're answering | ✅ | Rarely | ❌ |
| Works in any text box with one shortcut | ✅ | Some | ❌ |
| Autofills job applications | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| AI drafts open questions for free | ✅ | n/a | Rarely |
| Never submits for you | ✅ | n/a | Some auto-submit |
What it doesn't do (yet): red grammar underlines as you type, a job tracker, or bulk auto-apply. It's Chrome on a computer only. If those matter most to you, the tools above are great picks, and plenty of people run KittyHome next to them.
🔒 Privacy, briefly
- Nothing about the pages you visit is sent anywhere unless you use the assistant.
- When you do, it sends only what that request needs.
- Password, card and one-time-code fields are never touched.
- Every feature has its own on/off switch.
