Tools

Every tool your AI agent can call through searchnapply: what it is for, what it takes and what it returns.

Profile

Get my profile

profile_get

Purpose: Read the user's profile, part by part, with the rules for a tailored resume or letter.
When: Before you tailor a resume or cover letter, or when the user asks what their profile holds.
Rules: Follow the resume rules that come back with it before you write anything. An empty part means the user has not filled it in; say so and point to the site. Never add a fact the profile or the user did not give.
Next: Read the ad with search_posting, ask the user about the gaps that matter, then write.
Cost: About 1410 tokens for a filled profile.

Input

Takes no input.

Update my profile

profile_update

Purpose: Replace whole parts of the user's profile with what the user asked to change.
When: The user asks you to add, fix or remove something in their profile; never on your own.
Rules: Show the user the new text and write only after they agree. A part you send replaces the stored one in full, so send every entry it keeps, with the ids profile_get gave. A part name outside the ten is refused.
Next: Tell the user what was saved; read the profile again only if they ask.
Cost: About 1410 tokens for the profile that comes back.
