Every bot runs on Claude, Anthropic’s AI. The first time you open the app, it’ll ask you to connect.

A daily job hunt runs fine on the base Claude plan — you don’t need a bigger tier to start.

Add a bot and describe the hunt

Click Add a bot. You’ll give it two things: a name and a task written in plain English. Name it something you’ll recognize — JobHunter, or the mission itself like DesignRoles.

In the Task box, type it the way you’d ask a person — and paste your resume text right in, so it knows who it’s matching for:

“Scan the major job boards every morning for new senior product designer roles — remote or Denver, no agencies. Compare each one against my resume and only flag the ones genuinely worth applying to, with links and why each fits. Here’s my resume: [paste the text]”

There’s no special syntax and no wrong way to phrase it. The same box works for any of the hunts — watching careers pages, finding hidden employers, tracking applications. You can start from Blank slate (shown here) or Browse templates for a head start.

Tell it when to hunt

Turn on Run automatically and pick a schedule. For most job hunts, Every Morning is perfect — new postings from overnight, read before your coffee. Chasing fast-moving roles? Switch it to every few hours.

The schedule control in bots.team: a Run automatically toggle turned on, a Regular Schedule tab selected, set to run Every Morning at 08:00 AM, with Next run in 18h
Set it to Regular Schedule → Every Morning at 8:00 AM. The app shows the next run time so you know it’s live. There are also “Specific Time” and “When Something Happens” options.
Running more than one hunt? Make one bot per mission — boards, careers pages, applications — and they’ll each report on their own schedule.

Set your ground rules

A job hunter only needs to read public pages — the boards and careers pages you point it at, nothing on your computer. Pasting your resume text into the task (rather than pointing at folders) keeps it that way. Defaults keep it in that lane:

  • “Never search or browse your other files” is on by default — your resume goes in as pasted text, so it stays on
  • No logins to job boards, email, or LinkedIn — it reads public pages only
  • Can’t apply, email, or message anyone — it finds and reports, you act

Read the report

From now on it runs on schedule and leaves a clean report each time — headline, short summary, and the matches (if any) with links and reasons. Most mornings: a quiet “nothing worth your time.” The day a role fits, it says so plainly.

DesignRoles Report
Two Roles Worth Applying To — One Closes Friday
Screened 47 new senior product designer postings this morning. Two clear your bar: a remote design-systems lead that lines up with the component-library work on your resume, and a Denver fintech role that closes Friday — links and why each fits are below. The other 45 were agencies, too junior, or on-site outside Denver.

The report your job hunter leaves after each run — headline, plain-English summary, and the morning’s numbers as stats. Matches come with links and reasons.

When a role fits, you get the note — you write the application and hit send. It never applies on your behalf.

The app is free. If you already pay for Claude, running this costs nothing extra — it finds and reports; it never applies for you.
