How it works, honestly
The questions worth asking before you trust a tool with your CV. Every answer here is a rule the product actually enforces, not a promise.
What it refuses to do
Will it invent experience I do not have?
No, and this is the rule the rest of the product is built around. The rewrite works only from what your CV already says. It may quantify an achievement only with a number your CV already contains, and where there is no number it writes the bullet without one rather than estimating.
So you get "Rebuilt the month-end reporting process, cutting the manual steps it required" instead of an invented percentage. The first is true and you can defend it in the room. The second ends the interview.
Why does my CV say [ADD NUMBER]?
It should not, and if you see it, that is a bug worth telling us about. The output is checked and anything that reads as a blank for you to fill in is stripped before it reaches you, because a document you might send must be sendable as written.
Where a claim genuinely needs a figure your CV never gave, the sentence is rewritten to stand without one rather than left with a hole in it.
Does it apply to jobs for me?
No, never, and it is not a feature we are planning. It prepares every document and lays the screening answers out ready to copy. You paste them into the employer's own form and press Apply yourself.
Two reasons. Mass auto-applying is what made employers distrust applications in the first place, so a tool that does it makes your next application harder, not easier. And an application sent without you reading it is one you cannot answer for when somebody calls.
Is the score honest, or does it just flatter me?
It names what is missing before it names what fits, and it will tell you when a role is a poor match. That is uncomfortable and it is the point: a score that always says yes tells you nothing, and you would find out the slow way instead.
The same applies to the optional proof-of-work step. When it suggests something to build, it is required to say what that work will not prove. A weekend of Odoo does not make you an Odoo consultant, and walking into an interview believing it does is worse than never having tried.
Can it tell me which system the employer uses?
Usually, when you give it the job link. The link is matched against about seventy-five systems: the large ones such as Workday, Taleo and SuccessFactors, the modern ones such as Greenhouse and Lever, and the systems a mid-sized French employer actually runs, such as Talentsoft, Flatchr, Taleez and DigitalRecruiters. The app names what it found and says what changes for you, in English or in French.
Two of those answers change more than formatting. A posting handled by a recruitment agency is not the employer, so it is worth asking which company the role is for before you send anything. A public-sector form is scored against the criteria published with the posting and closes at a stated hour, so the form matters more than the CV.
When the link matches nothing, it says nothing rather than guessing a name. And this is read off the link: it is a checklist for the system you are about to meet, not a test of your CV against that employer's copy of it, which is not something anyone outside that employer can run.
Your CV and your data
Is my CV stored on your servers?
Not unless you ask us to. By default your CV and profile stay on your device. When you run an audit, a rewrite, a cover letter or an interview, the text goes to the AI provider for that request, and we do not keep it afterwards. How long the provider itself keeps it is set by its terms, not by us; the privacy policy says what we know.
There is one thing you can switch on: a backup of your profile, in Settings. It exists because the default has a cost that used to fall on you without warning. Clear your browser, change phone, and there was nothing to restore from. With the backup on we keep a copy of your profile and your imported LinkedIn so you can restore it anywhere. Turning it off deletes that copy.
It is off until you turn it on. Two other things are kept because they are the point of a feature: what you save to your tracker, and, on a paid plan, the few job titles the daily job feed searches with and the postings it scored for you. Never the CV itself. The full picture is in the privacy policy.
Is my CV used to train an AI model?
No. Your text is sent to the provider to answer that one request and nothing more. We do not train on it, and we do not sell or share it. The optional profile backup is storage and nothing else: it is there so you can restore your own profile, and it is never used for anything but that.
Can I take my work with you elsewhere?
Yes. Every finished application downloads as a single ZIP holding the CV, the cover letter, your screening answers and the original job posting, named by company, role and date. It costs no credits, because producing it runs no AI at all.
Deleting your account is immediate and irreversible: Settings, Privacy and data, Delete my account.
What it costs
What does one full application cost?
36 credits, made of four steps: reading the posting (8), scoring your CV against it (9), the rewrite (10) and the cover letter (9). You see the price on each button before you press it.
Anything that runs no AI is free, including downloading the finished ZIP and everything in the tracker.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The trial runs 3 days from the moment you create the account, and it is long enough to take a real job posting all the way through to a finished application. Use a posting you actually want, not a test one: the output is only as useful as the CV and the posting you give it.
Why credits instead of "unlimited"?
Because every rewrite costs real money to run, and "unlimited" plans pay for that by either throttling you quietly or making the honest users subsidise the heavy ones. Credits mean the price of each action is visible before you spend it, and the history in Settings shows exactly where they went.
Using it well
Where do the jobs in Discover come from?
Public sources only: France Travail, Adzuna, Arbeitnow and Remotive, and employers' own career pages on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee, Personio and SmartRecruiters. Not LinkedIn and not Indeed: both forbid automated access, and a tool that breaks the rules of the sites you apply through puts you at risk, not us.
On a paid plan they arrive as a deck every morning, already scored against your CV: up to 60 a day on the monthly plan and 120 on the quarterly and annual ones, and only postings scoring 60 or more. The overnight search uses a few job titles worked out from your CV, never the CV. Browsing costs no credits.
It said I am missing a qualification I actually have
Then it is missing from your profile, and the fix is one tap: each gap the audit names carries a button that opens the right section of your profile, so you add the diploma or the skill where it belongs rather than for one application only. Then re-run the rewrite and it will use it.
Which language does it write in?
Documents an employer reads follow the job posting by default, because that is right nearly every time, and you can override it per application when a posting is in one language for a team that works in another. Everything written for you to read follows the language you set for the app itself.
I have no referral and no network. Does that matter?
It does, and it is the hardest part of applying cold. There is an optional step for exactly this: it proposes one small piece of real work, sized to a single weekend and tied to something the posting actually asks for, that you could finish and show.
The cover-letter sentence about it stays locked until you say you have done the work. That lock is the whole feature. A line about work you have not done is the one thing this product will not hand you.
