Question 1

Where does my resume actually live?

Accepted Answer

Your data is encrypted on the way in (TLS) and while it sits with us. We don't sell it. We don't train AI on your resumes.

Question 2

Do you sell my data?

Accepted Answer

No. The business model is people paying us $49 or $99 a month. Selling resumes would burn that overnight, so it never happens.

Question 3

Does my resume train your AI?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not run our own model and we do not feed your resume into anyone else's training pipeline. AI calls go through providers configured to opt out of training on your data. Your resume is used to apply to jobs, not to make a smarter chatbot for someone else.

Question 4

Can I nuke everything?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dashboard settings, Delete Account, gone. Resumes, application history, screenshots, all of it. No 30-day "we still have a backup" loophole hiding in fine print.

Question 5

Is AI Applyd GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export your data and delete your account from settings. Same controls for everyone, no premium tier for basic rights.

Question 6

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One click. Access stays until the end of the month you already paid for. No retention call, no exit survey, no "are you sure" five times.

Question 7

How does usage work?

Accepted Answer

Every AI action spends tokens from your monthly balance. Free gets 50K tokens on signup, enough for one full auto-apply so you can see it actually submit a job. Hired in 30 refills 7M tokens every month, Hired Yesterday refills 15M. Tokens are spent on the real compute each run uses, so you pay for what you actually use. If a job is already closed before we start, nothing is spent and your reservation is returned; once we open a browser session and do the work, that usage is billed even if the form ultimately rejects it.

Question 8

How many tokens does each action cost?

Accepted Answer

Approximate cost per action (depends on job description length and model): • Full auto-apply (prepare + submit + proof screenshot when applicable): ~30,000 tokens • ATS resume score (ATS = Applicant Tracking System, the software that screens resumes before a human ever sees them): ~1,200 tokens • Cover letter: ~1,200 tokens • Tailored resume rewrite: ~1,600 tokens • Interview prep: ~1,100 tokens Unused tokens stay in your balance until the next refill. We bill at roughly 2x the underlying compute cost, so the margin is honest, not 50x like the prompt-wrapper "AI" tools that charge $30/mo to call the same Gemini API you could call yourself.

Question 9

What happens when I run out of tokens?

Accepted Answer

Buy a one-time top-up from the sidebar (Starter $4.99 / 500K, Popular $9.99 / 1.4M, Power $19.99 / 2.8M) or upgrade so the next refill resets your balance. There is no pay-as-you-go meter ticking in the background. You either top up or wait for the cycle, and you always know what the next bill looks like.

Question 10

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

No blanket 30-day refund policy. If something legitimately broke on our side, email support and we'll fix it or refund the cycle. We do not have a script for hiding behind "all sales final" while the service is down.

Question 11

Is there a contract?

Accepted Answer

No. Monthly billing, cancel from the billing portal, no annual lock-in, no discount-for-soul-trade.

Question 12

Can I switch plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Stripe prorates it. No "wait until next cycle" dance.

Question 13

What's the difference between Hired in 30 and Hired Yesterday?

Accepted Answer

Hired in 30 ($49/mo) gives you 7M tokens, around 100 AI auto-applies (15/day pace), unlimited ATS scores, tailoring, cover letters, interview prep. Hired Yesterday ($99/mo) gives you 15M tokens, around 300 applies (50/day), priority queue. Pick based on how fast last week was the deadline.

Question 14

What does AI Applyd do for free that competitors charge for?

Accepted Answer

Jobscan charges $50/month to score one resume against one job. AI Applyd does 10 of those a month for $0. Teal charges $29/month for resume building. Free tier here builds and tailors 5 resumes a month for $0. Plus you get one full auto-apply submission, free, so you can confirm we actually submit jobs before you pay anything.

Question 15

How do I know my application actually went through?

Accepted Answer

Every submission lands in your dashboard with proof. On Workday, LinkedIn, iCIMS, and similar sites you get a confirmation screenshot. On Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, and join.com you get a structured receipt with the ATS-side application ID. Either way, every application has a paper trail. If a run fails, you get a clear error code on the dashboard, not a "something went wrong" shrug.

Question 16

How much does AI Applyd cost?

Accepted Answer

AI Applyd has three plans. Free is $0/month with 50K starter tokens (one full auto-apply, 10 ATS scores/month, 5 resume tailors/month). Hired in 30 is $49/month, around 100 auto-applies. Hired Yesterday is $99/month for 300 applies + priority queue. Monthly billing, cancel any time.

Question 17

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI Applyd Free is $0/month forever, no credit card required. You get 50K tokens on signup (enough for one complete auto-apply submission, end to end), 10 ATS resume scores per month, 5 tailored resume rewrites per month, and tracking for 25 jobs. The free tier exists so you can confirm we actually submit applications before paying.

Question 18

Does AI Applyd auto-apply for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI Applyd submits real applications on your behalf, including answering open-ended screener questions in your voice. Copilot mode pauses for your review before submitting. Autopilot runs without you watching. Every submission lands in your dashboard with a confirmation screenshot or structured ATS receipt so you can prove it went through.

Question 19

Does AI Applyd work with Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, and join.com run on the structured fast lane (direct API submissions with ATS-side receipts). Workday, iCIMS, Workable, Breezy, Recruitee, BambooHR, Taleo, and LinkedIn Easy Apply use an AI browser agent that fills the form end-to-end. Both paths return proof of submission to your dashboard.

Question 20

Will my resume be tailored to each job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI Applyd rewrites your resume against each specific job description before submitting. The tailor pass uses real bullets from your master CV (anti-fabrication rules block invented skills) and rewrites them to clear the ATS keyword filter for that exact role. Typical match scores jump from 60-65 generic to 80+ tailored, in seconds.

Question 21

How fast does AI Applyd apply to a job?

Accepted Answer

A complete auto-apply submission (score, tailor, fill, submit, capture proof) takes 2-5 minutes per job depending on the ATS. Greenhouse and Lever finish in under 2 minutes via the direct API path. Workday and iCIMS take 4-5 minutes because the AI agent works through multi-step forms. Daily volume is paced per platform to avoid bans.

Question 22

Which platforms does auto-apply actually work on?

Accepted Answer

AI Applyd submits your application for you on the major job sites. The fast lane covers Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, and join.com end to end. An AI browser agent handles Workday, LinkedIn Easy Apply, iCIMS, Workable, Breezy, Recruitee, and most other ATS (Applicant Tracking System, the software that screens resumes before a human ever sees them) forms. We don't pretend to support every ATS on earth. We support the ones that account for the bulk of real-world hiring and tell you honestly when one is out of scope.

Question 23

Why does AI Applyd actually answer the open-ended screener questions when other tools leave them blank?

Accepted Answer

Because most "AI apply" tools are wrappers around a form-filler. They map "name" to your name, "email" to your email, and skip the box that says "Tell us about a time you led a project." We treat that box as the actual application. Your resume, work history, and persona profile feed a system prompt with hard anti-fabrication rules. The answer comes back in your voice, grounded in your real experience, and gets reviewed by you in Copilot mode before submission. The reason Sonara, LazyApply, and AIApply skip these questions is that doing them well is the hard part. Doing them badly gets you auto-rejected. So they punt.

Question 24

Will AI Applyd get my LinkedIn account banned?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: any tool that touches LinkedIn carries some risk, and any tool that says "zero risk" is lying. What we do to keep that risk low: per-user pacing (15 applies/day on Hired in 30, 50/day on Hired Yesterday), residential proxy IPs, no scraping LinkedIn search results, no automated connection spam, no bulk profile views. We submit to Easy Apply forms only, the same way you would on your phone. The accounts that get banned are the ones running 200 applications a day from a datacenter IP. We do not do that and we will not let you do that.

Question 25

Why doesn't AI Applyd have a Chrome extension?

Accepted Answer

Because extension-based auto-apply is a bad architecture. It runs in your browser, on your machine, using your fingerprint, against ATS sites that ban accounts based on browser behavior. When LazyApply triggers a captcha loop on a Workday job, that loop is happening in your browser tab and getting fingerprinted to your LinkedIn account. We run submissions on our infrastructure with rotating residential IPs, captcha solvers, and per-platform pacing. Your browser never touches the ATS. This is also why we can answer screener questions without your laptop needing to stay open all night.

Question 26

How accurate is the AI at filling applications?

Accepted Answer

It only writes from data already in your profile. The system prompt has explicit anti-fabrication rules that block invented job titles, made-up certifications, fake metrics, and skills you don't have. If the application asks for a salary number you never gave us, it asks you instead of guessing. Copilot mode lets you review every answer before it submits. Autopilot mode submits without review, but the same anti-fabrication rules apply.

Question 27

What happens when an application hits a captcha or 2FA?

Accepted Answer

Captchas (hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA, Turnstile) get auto-solved in the background. You don't see them, the run keeps going. Two-factor codes and unfamiliar identity checks pause the run and email you a session link so you can punch in the code. Persistent bot-detection challenges (DataDome, PerimeterX) are classified as blocked, the session is killed, and your tokens get refunded. We do not waste your tokens on a fight we can't win.

Question 28

How is this different from mass-apply bots?

Accepted Answer

Mass-apply bots (LazyApply, Sonara, JobCopilot in spam mode) blast the same resume at 100+ jobs a day. Your last 200 applications didn't fail because your resume is bad. They failed because the ATS rejected you in 6 seconds and a recruiter never saw the file. AI Applyd scores your resume against each job before applying. If you're below the threshold, we tell you instead of burning a token on a job you have no shot at. When we do apply, the resume is tailored to that specific JD and the screener questions are answered in your voice. This is why response rates exist at all.

Question 29

What does the AI apply feature actually do?

Accepted Answer

Pulls jobs matching your filters, scores your resume against each one, tailors a resume + cover letter when the score is above threshold, fills the application (including open-ended questions), and submits. Copilot mode pauses for your review before sending. Autopilot mode sends without you watching. Both log every submission to the dashboard with screenshots or receipts.

Question 30

Does AI Applyd build resumes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload a resume or start from scratch, paste a job description, and the builder restructures it for that specific JD. Real ATS (Applicant Tracking System, the software that screens resumes before a human ever sees them) scoring against the actual job, not a vague "looks good" score. The tailor flow is grounded in your real experience, so it surfaces the bullets that match the JD and rewrites them to clear keyword filters without inventing skills you don't have.

Question 31

How does job matching work?

Accepted Answer

Your resume + preferences feed a scorer that ranks new jobs as they land. Background scrapers refresh inventory continuously, with per-platform caps so one source doesn't starve another. You see roles ordered by fit instead of by recency, so the dashboard isn't 800 listings of roles you can't do.

Question 32

Where do I track applications?

Accepted Answer

Dashboard > Applications. Receipts list view (not a kanban board) with stages: Applied, Callback, Phone Screen, Interview, Offered, Rejected, No Response. Every row has the screening answers AI Applyd submitted, the match score at the time, the proof screenshot or ATS receipt, and the failure reason if a run didn't complete. If you want a draggable kanban, pair us with Huntr. We chose receipts because that's what the IRS would ask for if you ever had to prove you were job-searching.

Question 33

How do I create multiple profiles?

Accepted Answer

Dashboard, new profile, done. One per role type or seniority you're targeting. Each profile keeps its own resume, persona, and target preferences.

Question 34

How can I report issues or send feedback?

Accepted Answer

Support page in your dashboard, Discord, or feedback@aiapplyd.com. I read all of it.

Question 35

Can I use AI Applyd inside ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI Applyd ships an MCP server so its job-search tools run directly inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor. ATS resume scoring and job-description analysis are free with no login, so you get value in your first message. Connect your account to unlock AI-powered scoring, resume optimization, interview prep, and the match-finder from the chat. Setup takes about a minute at /mcps.

Question 36

What is the AI Applyd MCP server?

Accepted Answer

It is a Model Context Protocol server that puts AI Applyd's tools inside any MCP-compatible AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline). MCP is the open standard for connecting AI clients to external tools. Connect over Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp (SSE fallback at https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/sse). Two tools run free with no login; connecting your account unlocks the rest within your token credits. See /mcps to connect.

Question 37

What data does AI Applyd access?

Accepted Answer

Only what you upload or connect. Resumes, profiles, target preferences, and the platform OAuth tokens you choose to give us. We don't scrape your inbox, we don't see your browser history, we don't have a Chrome extension hoovering up tabs.

Question 38

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

No native app. The web app is responsive and works in mobile Safari and mobile Chrome. Submissions, tailoring, and screener answers all run on our infrastructure, so the phone is just a queue + approve UI. A native app is on the list, but it's not what wins or loses you the job.
