Questions people ask before they start.

Appléo is a job-search platform where an AI agent manages your resume for you. You work with it in plain English — describe a role, paste a job ad, ask for a change — and it writes the resume, tailors a version for every job you're chasing, scores how well each one fits, tracks your applications, and renders clean PDFs. You make the decisions; the agent does the clerical work.

Sign up, then bring the resume you already have — import a PDF, a DOCX, or a LinkedIn export, and the agent turns it into a resume it can work with. After that, everything is a conversation: tell the agent what you want and watch the change happen. There's nothing to install and nothing to configure.

No. The agent is built into Appléo and included in every plan — you sign up and ask for your first change, with nothing to install or connect. (If you're technical and would rather run the engine yourself with an AI you already use, that's the CLI, covered further down.)

It's live. Everything on this site is something you can do today at appleo.ai — import, conversational editing, tailoring with match scores, the job tracker, public share links, exports, and full history. It isn't a preview or a roadmap.

Yes. Appléo assumes nothing about your field — a nurse manager, a paralegal, a brand designer, and a staff engineer all use the same agent. The way you describe your work is the way your resume reads, so it fits whatever industry you're in.

No. Your resume is yours — export a PDF, a DOCX, or the underlying structured data anytime, with no export paywall and no walk-away fee. Every change lands in a full history you can see and roll back, and a version is public only when you create a share link for it.

Any version, anytime — as a polished PDF or DOCX, or as the raw structured data if you want to take it elsewhere. Exporting is free and doesn't cost credits. It's your resume, not a paid feature.

Only you, until you decide otherwise — nothing is public by default. When you want to send a version around, one click gives it a clean public link, and you can turn that link off whenever you like.

No. Appléo doesn't use your resume to train AI models. Your data is there to do one job — help you write, tailor, and track your applications — and the full details are in the privacy policy.

No forms. You ask the agent in plain English — "add my last role," "make this tighter," "tailor this for the job I pasted" — and it writes the resume prose, files it in the right place, and shows you the change. Editing is a conversation, not data entry.

Yes. Import a PDF, a DOCX, or a LinkedIn export once, and the agent turns it into structured data it can work with. You don't start from a blank page — you start from what you've already written.

Pin a job — tracked or pasted — and the agent shapes a dedicated version of your resume around it, leaving your main resume untouched. You end up with one source of truth and a fitted copy for every role, instead of one resume you keep overwriting.

Every tailored version gets a concrete score against the posting — what aligns, what's buried, and what's missing. You can watch the score move as the agent works, so you see the fit before you apply. It's a read to think with, not a promise about the outcome.

Yes. A built-in job board keeps the roles you're chasing, the version you tailored for each, and whether you've applied — all in one place. You save a role, tailor for it, mark it applied, and the history stays linked, so you always know what went where.

Designer templates render your resume to a clean, polished PDF or DOCX on demand. Because they render from your structured data, the look stays consistent and you never hand-tune a margin — you change the content by asking, and the template does the formatting.

Yes. Every template renders from structured data — named fields for your name, dates, roles, and sections — so the PDFs and DOCX files parse cleanly in modern applicant-tracking systems. Clean parsing isn't an afterthought; it's how the rendering works.

Credits are how Appléo meters the agent's work — each request costs a few, and bigger jobs like a full tailoring run cost more. Every plan includes a monthly allowance sized for an active search, so a normal month of writing and tailoring fits inside it.

You top up. Credit packs — $5, $10, $20, or $50 — add to your balance for a heavy month, and they don't expire. Your monthly allowance refills on schedule, so a top-up is there for the busy stretch, not a monthly requirement.

The agent's work — writing, tailoring, restructuring. Viewing your resume, exporting a PDF or DOCX, and seeing your match scores don't cost credits. You're charged for the work the agent does, not for looking at your own resume.

Yes. You start with trial credits, so you can import your resume and feel the agent work before you pay anything. When you're ready, plans start at $19 a month.

Three plans, priced by how much of the agent's work you need each month: Basic at $19 (1,900 credits), Premium at $39 (4,700), and Pro at $79 (11,000 credits plus the CLI). Each is also billed annually with two months free — $190, $390, and $790.

Either. Every plan is month-to-month or annual, and the annual price gives you two months free. Pick whichever matches how long your search is likely to run.

Checkout and billing run through Polar. You can change plans, buy a top-up, or cancel anytime from the Polar customer portal — no email to send and no retention script to sit through.

No, you don't need it — it's for technical users only. The CLI is the same engine that powers Appléo, run from your terminal with an AI you already drive (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or OpenCode). It comes with Pro, or $9 a month on its own; everyone else just uses the agent on the site.

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Appléo deletes the clerical work between you and the search — the rewriting, tailoring, tracking, and formatting — but the outcome is still yours to chase. Other tools promise interviews; we don't.

No. The agent tailors your resume and tracks where you are; the applying is yours. Deciding you actually want a role — and hitting submit — is the human part, and that's the part we leave to you.

No. The agent writes from what's actually in your history — if it isn't there, it won't appear on your resume. When a job asks for something you don't have, the match score tells you plainly rather than papering over the gap.

You stay in charge. The agent does the mechanical work, but it works from your direction and shows you every change — nothing ships without you. Appléo is steered, not hands-off.
