Frequently Asked Questions

Autoply is a UK-first automated job application platform. It scrapes job boards, uses AI to tailor your CV and cover letter for each role, finds the hiring manager at each company, and sends a direct cold email with your application attached. You set your preferences once and Autoply applies to matching jobs while you sleep.

Upload your CV, set your job preferences (role titles, location, salary, remote preference), and trigger bulk apply. Autoply scrapes Reed, Adzuna, Greenhouse, and Lever job boards for matching roles. For each match, AI tailors your CV bullet points and writes a personalised cover letter. Then it finds the hiring manager or recruiter at each company using email finder tools and sends a direct cold email with your tailored CV attached. You wake up to application confirmations and recruiter replies in your dashboard.

Yes. Autoply supports bring-your-own-key for Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT-4o), Google (Gemini), and Mistral. You pay the AI provider directly at cost (fractions of a penny per application) and get a permanent 30% discount on your subscription.

Yes. Your CV is stored securely on Supabase with row-level security. CV text is processed in memory for AI tailoring and is not shared with third parties beyond the AI provider you choose. If you use BYOK, your data goes directly to your own AI provider account. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

For each job, Autoply analyses the job description to extract required skills, seniority level, and key language. It then rewrites your CV bullet points to mirror those requirements using your real experience. It also generates a personalised cover letter that references the specific role and company. The result reads like you wrote it, not like it came from a template.

Autoply scrapes Reed, Adzuna, Greenhouse, and Lever job boards automatically. The free Chrome extension also lets you save jobs from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, TotalJobs, CV-Library, or any company careers page. Autoply covers UK, European, and global roles.

Autoply is UK-first but works globally. It scrapes RemoteOK and WeWorkRemotely for remote roles worldwide. The direct email approach works anywhere there is a hiring manager to reach, regardless of geography. Cover letters are adapted to local conventions.

Connect your Gmail or Outlook account once. Autoply scans your inbox, automatically detects recruiter replies, and matches them to the original application in your dashboard. You can see read/unread status, reply timestamps, and which companies have ghosted you. You reply to recruiters directly through the platform.

Autoply achieves an 8-15% reply rate across the platform. This is significantly higher than the 2-3% typical of LinkedIn Easy Apply or ATS portal submissions, because Autoply sends direct cold emails to hiring managers rather than submitting into an ATS queue.

LazyApply fires applications via LinkedIn Easy Apply, landing you in the same pile as hundreds of others with a 2-3% response rate. Autoply finds the hiring manager at each company and sends a direct cold email with your tailored CV. It also covers UK job boards (Reed, Adzuna) that LazyApply does not support, offers BYOK pricing, and tracks recruiter replies automatically.

JobCopilot charges around £500/year, requires your browser to stay open, and delivers a sub-2% callback rate. Autoply runs server-side 24/7 (works while your laptop is closed), starts at £19 for 50 applications with credits that never expire, and achieves a 9% platform-wide callback rate through AI-tailored CVs and direct hiring manager outreach.
