Sure, tailoring your resume for a specific job is pretty standard. Perhaps an LLM that has access to your resume, along with loads of documentation on what you have previously done would provide for a much better automation process.
It could read the job spec, then tailor your application with information that is actually true. Starting off with a company with information that is false is not a great way to start a (hopefully) long relationship.
FWIW, we review every application we receive on the freelancer sites and do not use automated filters.

I sometimes think requiring people to telephone and navigate a voice system to get an application ID before they can apply might help.
Tiny barriers can have disproportionate effects.
I am in the process right now of embedding keywords and a "shadow resume" invisibly in my resume to get past the stupid filtering software.
Employers are doing this to themselves.
