FAQ
Is JobyBots safe to use on LinkedIn?
Yes. JobyBots does not log into your LinkedIn account or click any apply buttons on your behalf. It scrapes public job listings, scores them with Gemini, and writes you a personalised cover letter you can send manually or via the included Gmail integration. There's no automation against LinkedIn's UI that would violate their ToS.
Do you upload my résumé to a server?
No. JobyBots is a local-first Python app. Your résumé, Gmail App Password, and Gemini API key live in a folder on your own machine. The website only handles purchase + license verification.
What happens if it sends to a bad email address?
JobyBots includes a bounce tracker that reads delivery-failure notifications from your Gmail inbox via IMAP. Every bad address is quarantined and never retried — and your live dashboard shows the running count.
Can I cancel anytime?
JobyBots is a one-time purchase — there's nothing to cancel. We offer a 7-day, no-questions-asked refund if it isn't right for you.
