Everything about how the magic works, where the guardrails are, and what happens to your data.

The basics

It's your end-to-end career copilot. ApplyMagik builds and improves your resume, tailors it to each role, scores how well you match a posting and shows you exactly how to close the gaps, fills out the real application form across major ATS platforms, and tracks every application on a Kanban board — plus career guidance along the way. It pauses for your review at any point that needs a human decision. The busywork is handled; you stay in control.
Yes — every free account gets a monthly grant of AI tokens for resume work plus five auto-applies a month, with no card required. You only enter billing details if you choose to upgrade for more volume.
Any job seeker worn down by today's market — whatever your field, industry, or experience level. New grads, career switchers, returners, hourly and salaried, junior to senior. If the endless forms, silent rejections, and resume rewrites have you frustrated, ApplyMagik is for you: it handles the grind and helps you put your energy where it actually pays off.

Auto-apply & control

Not unless you tell it to. Pause-for-review is on by default: the agent fills everything it confidently can, then stops on anything subjective or sensitive and ends with a final submit confirmation you control. On Ultimate you can optionally switch on hands-off autopilot for roles you trust it with — but that's entirely your call, and reversible anytime.
Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Workable, and SmartRecruiters, with platform-specific handling for each. We're expanding coverage continuously.
It drafts a suggested answer and drops it into your review queue. You edit or approve it, and the session resumes. Approved answers to recurring questions are remembered so you don't repeat yourself.
If you enable the optional forwarding inbox, verification codes can be matched and routed back to the paused session automatically. Otherwise it pauses and waits for you.

Privacy & AI keys

By default, ApplyMagik's built-in AI does the work, covered by your plan's monthly token allowance. As an optional add-on ($4.99/mo on any plan, included on Ultimate) you can connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini key — then the AI runs through your account, your data is governed by your provider's terms, and you only pay your provider for tokens. Keys are encrypted at rest and revocable anytime.
No. We don't train models on your data and we don't sell it — on any plan. If you add your own key, retention is additionally governed by your provider account.
Anytime. One-click export gives you a portable copy, and deletion actually removes your data rather than hiding it.

Resumes & tracking

Yes — upload a PDF or DOCX and we parse it into a structured profile, with OCR fallback for scanned files. From there you can tailor unlimited versions.
Each application is a card in a pipeline. With the optional inbox connected, recruiter replies are classified and linked automatically, moving cards from applied to interview to offer without manual updates.
DOCX and PDF, with a live preview that matches the export. Choose from 9+ templates including ATS-optimized layouts.
