| Platform | Minimum OS Version | Approximate Storage Use |
|---|---|---|
| iOS | 12.0 | 150-300MB |
| Android | 8.0 | 150-300MB |
Once installed, you won’t be bombarded with permission requests. It’s just enough to get you started without any hassle.
Setting Up Your Account and Profile
After installation, creating your profile is where the magic begins. Our AI depends on good info to find the right jobs for you, so don’t skip this step or rush through it. You’ll enter your full name, email, location, and work authorization details—these are essential to match you with opportunities that fit your situation.
Uploading and Optimizing Your Resume
Uploading a PDF resume is easy, but here’s the thing: our AI analyzes it to suggest tweaks that can improve your chances. It looks for gaps, keywords, and formats your resume to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) smoothly. From what we’ve seen, users who take advantage of this step get noticeably more interview invitations.
How Our AI Job Matching Works
Our AI doesn’t just throw random job listings your way. Instead, it learns what you want over time by paying attention to your preferences and feedback. The more you interact—marking jobs as “interested” or “not interested”—the better it gets at matching you.
Fine-Tuning Your Preferences
Be sure to keep your salary expectations realistic but fair, specify job types you want, and rank your preferred industries. This helps the AI prioritize jobs that genuinely fit your needs.
Behind the Scenes: Matching Factors
Here’s what the AI looks at:
- Skills and experience fit
- Your location and commute preferences
- Salary range compatibility
- Company culture alignment
- Career growth potential
Application Automation and Cover Letters
One of the coolest features is how our AI can apply to jobs for you automatically. You control how aggressive this is, choosing from conservative to aggressive modes based on your comfort level.
Choosing the Right Automation Level
Start with “balanced” mode, where the AI applies to jobs that are at least 75% matches. You can always dial it up or down later depending on how things go.
Custom Cover Letter Creation
The AI also writes cover letters tailored to each job. You can create templates for different roles—technical, management, creative—and the system personalizes each letter based on those templates.
Navigating the Mobile App Interface
Once you’re logged in, the dashboard is your central hub. You’ll see new job matches, application statuses, interview requests, and how complete your profile is—all updated in real time.
Filtering Job Searches
Filtering isn’t just about keywords. You can pick things like company size, remote options, experience level, and even benefits packages.
| Filter Type | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Date Posted | Last 24 hours to 30+ days | See fresh listings |
| Company Size | Startup to Enterprise | Find your preferred work environment |
| Remote Options | On-site, Hybrid, Fully Remote | Match your location needs |
| Experience Level | Entry to Executive | Filter by seniority |
| Benefits | Health, 401k, Stock Options | Focus on compensation perks |
Tracking Your Applications
The app keeps you informed with detailed statuses—whether applications have been viewed, interviews requested, or if you’ve been rejected, with timestamps to help you stay organized.
Interview Scheduling and Prep
When the interview invitations start rolling in, our AI steps up to handle scheduling. No more endless email chains.
Automated Scheduling Setup
- Set your available times and block out busy periods
- Choose your interview preference—phone, video, or in-person

The AI then coordinates directly with the employer to find the best fit.
