2026

v1.5.1

Everything is free while we find our feet

Paid plans are switched off for now, the allowances on the free plan have gone up, and our Privacy Policy and Terms have been rewritten so it is genuinely clear what happens to everything you upload.

Headline featureNew

Free access to everything

There are no paid plans at the moment. While we are still proving the product out, every feature is open to everyone on a single free plan, and the allowance that comes with it has gone up — ten credits a day and forty a month, up from five and thirty. Tracking your job applications stays free and does not draw on those credits at all. If you are still holding a paid subscription from earlier, email us and we will sort it out.

  • New

    Decide if others can find you

    A new setting controls whether other people can discover your profile. It stays off until you turn it on.

  • New

    Fit your resume to the page

    One click tightens spacing and type just enough to pull a stray final page back onto the one before it.

  • Improved

    Know what a practice interview involves

    Before a mock interview starts you confirm a short privacy notice and see the credit cost for the session length you picked.

  • Improved

    A Privacy Policy worth reading

    Rewritten to spell out what leaves our systems, where it goes and how long it is kept, with the section you are reading highlighted as you scroll.

  • Improved

    Clearer account closure

    Requesting closure now explains what is deleted, what has to be kept and how the request is confirmed, rather than implying everything disappears at once.

  • Improved

    Hiro quotes you more accurately

    Hiro is choosier about which past conversation it pulls into a reply, so it wanders off-topic less often.

  • Improved

    Tidier resume page breaks

    Templates handle long sections, sidebars and awkward breaks more gracefully when a resume runs past a single page.

v1.5.0

Meet Hiro, and stop repeating yourself

Our career agent now remembers your career story between conversations, so drafting a resume or a cover letter starts from what it already knows. Job descriptions can be uploaded as files, scanned PDFs finally work, and finished cover letters can be downloaded.

Headline featureNew

Meet Hiro, your career agent

Hiro sits alongside you across the whole platform and remembers your career story between conversations — the roles you have held, the projects you are proud of, the way you talk about your work. Ask for a resume or a cover letter and Hiro drafts one from what it already knows, then revises it with you instead of starting over. The more you tell it, the less you have to repeat yourself.

  • New

    Upload a job description

    Drop in the PDF or document you were sent for a role and we will pull the job details out of it, instead of you pasting them in by hand.

  • New

    Scanned PDFs now work

    If your resume is a scan or an image rather than real text, we now read the text out of it instead of failing.

  • New

    Download your cover letter

    Save a finished cover letter as a formatted, correctly dated document, ready to send.

  • Improved

    Cover letter length in plain words

    Choose short, standard or detailed instead of guessing at a word count.

  • Improved

    Smart Generation in a single click

    Generating a tailored resume no longer walks you through a set-up wizard, and the result follows Australian hiring conventions.

  • Improved

    A quieter interview screen

    Mock interviews have been redesigned around the conversation, and your sessions are not recorded.

  • Fixed

    Phones, tablets and small laptops

    Layouts, drawers and notifications now behave properly outside a full-size desktop window.

v1.4.0

Your applications rank themselves, and cover letters stick to the facts

Applications started sorting themselves by how well they actually match, cover letters got much stricter about sticking to the truth, and you gained control over how long they run.

Headline featureNew

Resume ranking

When you have a stack of applications open, the ones worth your attention are no longer the ones you happened to add last. Your applications are now ranked by how well they match the work you have actually done, and you can tell us which results were useful so the ranking keeps getting better.

  • New

    Set your own lengths

    Choose a preferred length for cover letters and application answers.

  • New

    A resume template gallery

    Browse every resume template on its own page, with a full preview, before you pick one.

  • Improved

    Cover letters that stick to the facts

    Stronger grounding rules stop the AI inventing credentials or experience you don't have.

  • Improved

    Bold and italic in the resume builder

    Format your summary the way you want, and choose whether to keep formatting in the exported file.

  • Improved

    Move the credit button

    Drag the floating credit indicator anywhere on screen and it stays there next time you log in.

v1.3.0

One resume from many jobs, and interviews that keep up with you

We taught the resume generator to blend several job descriptions into one tailored resume, added focused interview practice modes, and rebuilt the voice pipeline so mock interviews feel like a real conversation.

Headline featureNew

Smart resume generation

Chasing five similar roles no longer means writing five resumes. Point Smart Generation at several job descriptions and it works out what they have in common, then builds one resume tailored to all of them.

  • New

    Interview practice modes

    Pick a Behavioural, Knowledge-Based, or Hybrid focus before you start a session.

  • New

    Choose your interviewer

    Interviewer selection is now part of setting up every session, with voice samples to help you choose.

  • New

    Cover letter templates

    Two new designs, Classic and Modern, with proper print formatting.

  • Improved

    Faster voice interviews

    A rebuilt speech pipeline cuts the pause between your answer and the interviewer's reply.

  • Improved

    Automatic skill detection

    We now pick out skills and technologies from your resume for you.

  • Improved

    Search your archive

    Archived applications are searchable and paginated, just like your active ones.

  • Improved

    Clearer job tracking

    Application “statuses” are now “stages”, with better colour contrast for accessibility.

v1.2.0

One application flow, saved drafts, and full account control

A single guided form replaced the separate LinkedIn and Seek journeys, resume parsing got noticeably sharper, and you gained direct control over your data and your feedback.

Headline featureNew

One application flow

LinkedIn and Seek applications used to run through two separate forms that behaved differently. Now there is a single guided flow for every application, whichever board the job came from.

  • New

    Paste a job link

    Drop in a LinkedIn or Seek URL and we'll recognise the job it points to.

  • New

    Send us feedback

    Tell us what's working, and what isn't, from inside the app.

  • New

    Delete your account

    Remove your account and your data yourself, whenever you want.

  • Improved

    Save a draft at any step

    Stop partway through an application and pick it up later.

  • Improved

    Sharper resume parsing

    An upgraded model pulls more accurate detail out of the resumes you upload.

  • Improved

    More than one link

    Add your portfolio, LinkedIn, and GitHub to your profile instead of just one website.

  • Fixed

    Smoother email verification

    Verification codes now accept a pasted code and submit themselves once complete.

v1.1.0

Track your search your way

Our first major update handed over control of how applications are tracked, how they look on screen, and how your cover letters sound.

Headline featureNew

Your job search on a board

See every application as a card on a Kanban board and drag it between stages as things move. Build your own stages with your own labels and colours, so the board matches how you actually run your search.

  • New

    Custom application stages

    Build your own set of outcome labels and colours instead of living with the defaults.

  • New

    Cover letter tone

    Choose Professional, Friendly, or Assertive before you generate.

  • New

    Hear your interviewer first

    Preview the AI interviewer voices before you book a practice session.

  • Improved

    Reorder your skills

    Drag skill chips into the order you want them to appear.

  • Improved

    See what credits cost

    A single table shows the credit cost of every feature before you use it.

  • Improved

    More natural mock interviews

    Upgraded voice AI handles pauses and off-topic answers far more gracefully.
