Proposed by AI

When an AI agent adds a job for you, it arrives as a Proposed application. You’ll see it in the Draft column of your kanban board. From there you can:
  • Accept it — move it to Draft and start preparing your application
  • Apply directly — skip Draft and move straight to Applied
  • Dismiss it — withdraw the proposal if you’re not interested

Viewing applications

Kanban board

The kanban board shows your applications in five columns matching the status categories:
  1. Draft — Proposed and draft applications
  2. Applied — Submitted and acknowledged applications
  3. Interviewing — Phone screens, interviews, and final rounds
  4. Offer — Offers and negotiations
  5. Finished — Hired, rejected, and withdrawn
Drag and drop cards between columns to update their status.

List view

The list view shows all applications in a filterable table. You can filter by:
  • Status or category
  • Company
  • Date range

Application details

Editing an application

Click the edit button on any application to update its details. You can change all fields except the company (to change the company, create a new application).
