market profile

  • text: Applicants repeatedly re-enter resume details across employer career sites, creating friction when applying at volume.

icp

  • text: Avoid repetitive data entry across career sites.
  • text: Give the applicant control over which roles trigger an application.
  • text: Reuse one resume across applications.

objections

  • objection: Will AI apply to jobs I do not want?
    response: The described flow applies after a user swipes right; review each role before approving it.
  • objection: Will a free account actually submit applications?
    response: The published free tier includes the AI agent and daily swipes; paid plans increase the cap.
  • objection: Will automated applications reflect my experience accurately?
    response: Review your resume and application details carefully and evaluate results on a few suitable roles.
