The Application Assistant: letters and outreach drafts

The Application Assistant is a creative-side tool on your Dashboard: open its card, or go straight to it at /creatives/agents/?spotty_tab=applications. For one opportunity at a time it drafts an application letter and a separate, shorter outreach email with a subject line. It only drafts — it never sends or submits anything. You review both and send them yourself.

What you can start from

• URL — paste the address of the posting; the page is read for you.
• Image — a screenshot or photo of the call (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP, up to 10 MB).
• PDF — the announcement as a PDF, up to 10 MB.
• Text / Description — paste the posting, or describe the letter you want, in at least 50 characters.
• A Job Finder result — your current results are listed under the letter tool; press Generate next to one.
• A tracked application — in My Applications, the Application Assistant shortcut on an application you are still planning opens it with that application's details filled in.

Pick a language, or leave Auto-detect on to get the drafts in the language of the posting.

What it writes from

Your portfolio: profile, bio, profession, location, contact details, languages, links, work, materials and press — including entries you have hidden from your public page. Your portfolio link always appears in the letter and in the email. Without a portfolio it stops and asks you to set one up, and nothing is charged. Workspace Files are not used for letters; they feed Job Finder and Client Finder.

When the drafts are ready

• Copy them, or download the letter as a PDF. A copy of both is also emailed to your account address.
• They clear from the page after 10 minutes, for privacy — save what you need before then.
• Refine with your own prompt rewrites both drafts from the same posting: say what to change — tone, length, emphasis, or facts to highlight.
• Track this application? offers to save it to My Applications with the details taken from the posting. It is optional. If the application is already there — you came from its shortcut, or the listing or Job Finder result is already tracked — it offers Update your tracked application instead: it sets that entry's status without adding a second one, and the job board and Job Finder show the same status.

Cost

Each generation, and each refinement, is one charge that covers both drafts. The current cost is shown in the app and on Billing usage. If the letter cannot be written after the charge, the pens come back automatically. The Application Assistant is part of every creative plan.

What it does not do

• It does not send, upload or submit anything. No email goes to the employer, and no form is filled in on another site.
• It is not a chat. To ask about it, or about anything else, use Spotty. Spotty can open the Application Assistant for you, but cannot run it or send what it drafts.
• It belongs to the creative side. Managers review the applications they receive in their Application Manager.

On listings published here

When you apply to an opportunity published on The Pending, the form on the listing has a Create Application button that pre-fills it from your portfolio. That is separate from the Application Assistant, and it is charged only when the fill succeeds. Read every field before you submit.

Edit it — always

A generated letter is a first draft. Check every factual claim about you — generated text can overstate. Cut the generic opening and closing lines, add one specific, true thing about why this work interests you, and read it aloud. If it does not sound like you, rewrite it until it does.

Transparency

AI-drafted text is marked as machine-generated. Managers know AI is available to both sides — what distinguishes an application is the specific, human part you add.
