# AI Applyd - Complete Reference > Interviews on your calendar, not rejection emails. AI Applyd rewrites your resume for every job, writes every cover letter, and applies on the company's own website instead of a job board's copy of the form. Then it shows you the company's own email confirming it arrived. Start free, no card. Last updated: 2026-09-01 Interviews on your calendar, not rejection emails. AI Applyd runs the whole pipeline in one place: it ranks every new posting against your resume, rewrites the resume and the cover letter for the ones worth it, answers the open-ended screener questions in your voice, applies end-to-end on the employer's own hiring system, preps you for the interview, tracks every application, and counts one as sent only once the employer's own system confirms it. Auto-apply that ends on an interview, not an application sent. ## Why AI Applyd Exists Applications are filtered by an applicant tracking system before a human reads them. Job seekers retype the same data into portal after portal, guess which keywords matter, and lose track of where they applied, and the tools built to help end at their own click, which is the one moment that proves nothing. AI Applyd exists so a good candidate gets read by a human instead of screened out by software: it runs the whole pipeline and ends at the employer's answer instead of its own. ## Key Features ### Fit Scoring That Gates The Application Every posting is ranked against your resume and your preferences as it lands, before a single application is spent. The score is wired to the send rather than printed for your records: set a fit floor, and anything under it is skipped and recorded as skipped, so the weak application never goes out and never costs you anything. A score you can overrule changes nothing about what gets sent. Matching is uncapped on every plan, free included, and runs inside the product after signup. ### AI Auto-Apply (end-to-end) Get in front of the people who decide. Complete applications are filled and submitted on the employer's own hiring system across 15 applicant tracking systems: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, Personio, Teamtailor, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Breezy, Workable, Rippling, BambooHR, JazzHR and softgarden. Never a one-click job-board shortcut, and never your own browser. Generates screening question answers from your real profile in your chosen tone. Anti-fabrication rules block invented job titles, fake certifications, and skills not on your resume. An application is marked sent only when a confirmation arrives from the employer's system, our own click is never the evidence. ### AI Resume Builder Never retype your own history again. Rewrites your resume against a specific job description, working from bullets already in your history, and restructures the sections around what that posting is actually asking for, in the language that posting uses. Anti-fabrication rules block invented titles, certifications you never earned and skills you never listed. Multiple resume versions for different role types. PDF export. ### Application Tracking You always know exactly where you stand. Pipeline from saved to offered in one dashboard with follow-up reminders and match scores. Every row carries the screening answers AI Applyd submitted, the match score at submission time, whether the employer's system has confirmed it, and the failure reason if a run did not complete. ### Job Matching See the jobs worth your time in fit order, not a wall of listings in date order. AI ranks new jobs against your resume and preferences as they land, with a fit score per listing. Background scrapers refresh inventory continuously with per-platform caps, so one job board cannot crowd out the rest. Uncapped on every plan, free included. ### Interview Prep Walk into the call already knowing what they will ask and which moment from your career answers it. Company-specific question bank with example answers generated from your real experience. ### MCP Server (use in ChatGPT/Claude/Cursor) AI Applyd ships a Model Context Protocol server so you can run its job-search tools directly inside any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Streamable HTTP endpoint: https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp. SSE fallback: https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/sse. Nothing to install: paste the URL, sign in with Google the first time you ask for a tool (a free AI Applyd account, no card, with a one-time 10,000-token starter grant), and every tool runs on your own credits - the same balance as the web app. Job-description analysis, resume optimization against a specific posting, resume translation, PDF export, interview question generation, job preferences, and the job match-finder all run on that balance; cover letters and auto-apply are on a paid plan. Every tool requires that connected account: there is no anonymous tier, and an unauthenticated tool call is answered with HTTP 401 so the client can start the OAuth flow. Works with ChatGPT, Claude (Desktop, Code, web), Cursor, and Cline. Setup guide: https://aiapplyd.com/mcps. ### Browser-native WebMCP (experimental and page-bound) AI Applyd also exposes a small WebMCP tool set when a compatible browser agent has already opened the site. Public tools browse live jobs and list current plans. After the browser has a confirmed AI Applyd session, four more tools can list personal job matches, read one match, list application progress, and save a match. WebMCP uses the active page and browser session; it is not a remote endpoint, does not work before the agent visits, and does not replace the MCP server above. It is progressive enhancement: unsupported browsers keep the normal site. ## Pricing Summary - **Free (Job Seeker)**: $0/month.

For full price detail: https://aiapplyd.com/pricing.md ## How AI Applyd Differs From Other Job-Application Tools We do not publish a comparison table of other vendors' names, prices or feature grids: their pricing is theirs to change, and a table we do not own ages into a false statement. The difference is mechanical, and it holds whoever you compare us with. - **Where the application is filed.** On the employer's own applicant tracking system, with the screener questions answered, not an autofill overlay on a job board, and not a one-click board shortcut. - **Who is the last actor.** Not you. AI Applyd never pauses to ask you to review, approve, log in, connect an account or type a verification code; where a portal demands an account, the agent creates it and reads the confirmation email itself. - **What counts as done.** A confirmation from the employer's own system. Not a screenshot we took, not a status we stamped, not a submit we clicked. A tool that ends at its own click cannot tell you the difference between an application the employer received and one that silently went nowhere.

A: AI Applyd is an AI-powered job application platform that gets you in front of the people who decide instead of into a keyword filter. It ranks every new posting against your resume, rewrites the resume and the cover letter for the ones worth applying to, answers the open-ended screener questions in your voice, and auto-applies end-to-end on the employer's own hiring system across 15 applicant tracking systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, Personio, Teamtailor, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Breezy, Workable, Rippling, BambooHR, JazzHR and softgarden), then preps you for the interview and tracks the pipeline. It marks an application as sent only once a confirmation comes back from the employer's system, not when it finishes clicking. [Source: AI Applyd Homepage](https://aiapplyd.com/) Q: How is AI Applyd different from mass-apply bots? A: Two mechanical differences. First, AI Applyd scores every resume against the specific job description before applying, and if the resume scores below threshold it does not spend a token on that job, mass-apply tools send the same resume at every listing regardless of fit, and leave open-ended screening questions blank. AI Applyd answers those questions in your voice, grounded in your real experience. Second, AI Applyd does not treat its own click as the finish line: a run is only counted as sent once the employer's own system confirms it. [Source: Auto-apply tools compared 2026](https://aiapplyd.com/blog/auto-apply-tools-compared-2026) [Source: Best auto-apply tools 2026](https://aiapplyd.com/blog/best-auto-apply-tools-2026) [Source: What counts as proof a job application was submitted](https://aiapplyd.com/blog/what-counts-as-proof-a-job-application-was-submitted-2026) Q: How much does AI Applyd cost? A: The Free tier costs $0 with no credit card and includes 5 resume tailors and 5 cover letters per month, plus job matching with no monthly cap; having AI Applyd do the applying is the paid part. Hired in 30 is $38.99/month and Hired Yesterday is $89.99/month, both with unlimited token-gated AI actions; weekly billing is available as a secondary option. One price a month, and a run that errors or is skipped does not burn your allowance. Cancel anytime. [Source: Pricing page](https://aiapplyd.com/pricing) [Source: pricing.md](https://aiapplyd.com/pricing.md) Q: Will AI Applyd get my LinkedIn account banned? A: No, because AI Applyd never signs in to or acts on your LinkedIn account. Applications are submitted on the employer's own applicant tracking system, not through LinkedIn, so your LinkedIn account is not used to apply and is not exposed to automation. AI Applyd also does not scrape LinkedIn search results or send connection requests. [Source: Security policy](https://aiapplyd.com/legal/security) Q: Does AI Applyd train AI models on my resume? A: No. AI Applyd uses pre-trained models via OpenRouter configured to opt out of training on user data. Resumes, job descriptions, and personal information are never used to train any AI model. [Source: Privacy policy](https://aiapplyd.com/legal/privacy) Q: Who operates AI Applyd, and what privacy rights do I have? A: AI Applyd Inc. is a Delaware corporation operating from the United States. Its privacy posture is built on US state privacy law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act: every user can see, export, correct and delete all of their data from account settings at any time, and AI Applyd does not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. Same controls for every user, no premium tier for basic data rights. Where the mandatory law of the country in which you live gives you rights that cannot be waived, those rights apply and nothing here limits them. [Source: Privacy policy](https://aiapplyd.com/legal/privacy) Q: Which ATS systems does AI Applyd auto-apply on? A: 15 applicant tracking systems have a real end-to-end apply path: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, Personio, Teamtailor, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Breezy, Workable, Rippling, BambooHR, JazzHR and softgarden. The application is filled and submitted on the employer's own system, screener questions included, and it is only counted as sent once that system's confirmation comes back. We do not claim to support every ATS on earth: enterprise suites like SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle Recruit sit outside the set today, and the dashboard says so rather than pretending otherwise. [Source: Supported ATS list](https://aiapplyd.com/faq) [Source: Auto-apply tools compared 2026](https://aiapplyd.com/blog/auto-apply-tools-compared-2026) [Source: ATS account walls and verification emails](https://aiapplyd.com/blog/ats-account-walls-and-verification-emails-2026) [Source: SmartRecruiters, Workable, Breezy and Rippling application guide](https://aiapplyd.com/blog/smartrecruiters-workable-breezy-rippling-application-guide-2026) Q: Does AI Applyd have a Chrome extension? A: No. Extension-based auto-apply runs in the user's browser and gets fingerprinted to their LinkedIn account, which is the dominant ban vector. AI Applyd runs every submission on isolated infrastructure with rotating residential IPs and per-platform pacing. [Source: FAQ](https://aiapplyd.com/faq) Q: How does AI Applyd's job scoring work? A: AI Applyd scores every posting against your resume and your stated preferences as the posting lands, so the same resume scores differently against different jobs. The score is not a report card you file away: you set a fit floor in your settings, and any posting under it is skipped and recorded as skipped rather than applied to. That is the difference worth knowing about, because a score you can overrule changes nothing about what actually gets sent. Matching is uncapped on every plan, free included, and runs inside the product after signup. [Source: Pricing page](https://aiapplyd.com/pricing) Q: What happens when an application hits a captcha or 2FA? A: hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA and Turnstile are handled inside the session. Where a job portal requires an account or an emailed verification code, the agent creates the account and reads the code itself and completes the application without handing the task back to you. Persistent bot-detection (DataDome, PerimeterX) is classified as blocked and the session is killed. Paid plans bill a flat monthly price with a refreshing token allowance, not per run. [Source: FAQ](https://aiapplyd.com/faq) Q: How effective are AI citations and structured Q&A for AI search visibility? A: The 2023 Princeton GEO paper measured up to a 40% lift in generative-engine visibility from citation-rich, statistically grounded content. That figure is a 2023 lab result against the models of that year, not a current measurement and not a claim about AI Applyd. We cite it as the reason for the practice, not as a present-day number: AI Applyd publishes `llms.txt`, `llms-full.txt`, and `pricing.md` to give AI crawlers a clean grounding surface.
