The complete guide to Simplify+

Learn how Simplify+ tools work together across tailoring, applications, tracking, and follow-up.

Last updated 19 days ago

Simplify+ adds AI tools for tailoring resumes, writing cover letters and application answers, drafting emails, and submitting supported applications with Autopilot. Start with an up-to-date profile and a job you want to apply to. Choose Copilot when you want to review and submit the application yourself.

Start with the job and your saved information

We designed the tools to share useful information across an application: your background, the role, the documents you choose, and the record you return to afterward. Start by checking Profile for accurate experience, contact information, work authorization, and a current default resume. That reduces the same correction appearing in several generated drafts or forms.

Find a role in Matches or search the Job Board. Open the full posting, confirm its location and requirements, and save it if you want a tracker record before applying. A recommendation is a reason to consider a role, not proof that you meet every requirement.

Compare your resume with the role

Select the resume you intend to use and check the job description. Keyword Match highlights terms that are present or missing. Resume Builder’s broader Resume Score combines relevance with content and formatting checks when available. Read the breakdown to find a useful change rather than chasing the highest possible number.

The screenshot shows keyword coverage and older labels. A suggested percentage is not an employer’s passing threshold, and no Simplify score guarantees an interview. A missing term is useful only when it accurately describes experience you have.

Create a tailored resume

Open Documents → New Resume or choose Tailor Resume from Copilot.
Choose a profile-based start, import a PDF or Word file, or use an existing resume. An import creates a separate editable builder document.
Set the target job, check the source content, and choose the AI action for the whole resume or a section.
Review the proposed changes, correct anything unsupported, and apply what you want. Save and export or select the result in Copilot.

AI Settings change the emphasis on keywords, metrics, or headline wording. Supply accurate facts for the tool to work with. For example, ask to emphasize your actual migration project and keep its documented results, rather than asking it to invent a larger impact.

The video shows an earlier creation screen; the current flow also supports uploading a file as a builder source. Layout and Fit to Page help adjust presentation. Review readability and the exported file rather than assuming a one-page result is always the right choice.

Keep versions for different roles in Documents. Profile titles, company names, and dates sync to linked builder entries, while tailored bullets update Profile only when you explicitly apply them. Editing a builder version does not rewrite an uploaded source file or an already submitted application.

Write a cover letter for the application

Generate a cover letter from Copilot or Documents → New Cover Letter. Confirm the company and job details, choose a template if useful, and give instructions about the relevant experience and length. Edit the draft before filling or attaching it.

A reusable template can save the structure, but read the finished letter for the current role. Remove old company names and unsupported examples. Check whether the employer wants text, an attachment, or no cover letter at all.

Answer job-specific questions

Use Application Question AI or the question’s generation action in Copilot for prompts such as why you want the role or a project you are proud of. Add specific facts, review the response, and check the employer’s length limit before using it.

Copilot can reuse a saved answer when the exact same question appears again. Similar questions are separate prompts. Even an exact match needs review: an answer can name another company or contain an old date or availability.

Choose Copilot or Autopilot

Route	What happens	When to choose it
Copilot	Fills supported forms using your profile and selected documents. You check the form and click the employer’s final Submit button.	You want to inspect or change the completed application before sending it.
Autopilot	Completes and submits a selected supported job without a review step. Uses a credit when successful.	You have checked your saved information and want the application submitted automatically.

Autopilot is available to every Simplify+ member, subject to supported postings and credits. It can use your default or a tailored resume and handle supported emailed verification codes through the independent Letterfern application proxy. Keep your account email current for forwarded correspondence.

If Autopilot fails, review the result and finish the employer’s form manually. A failed run is not an employer rejection and does not use a credit. Use the credit guide for the current weekly allowance and reset rules.

Track the result and follow up

Check the employer’s confirmation, then verify the Job Tracker record and status. You can add records for applications made elsewhere, keep notes and associated documents, and archive completed opportunities without losing them.

Connect Gmail to see matched recruiting conversations and suggested status updates. Gmail integration is available to all users. Review the email before approving a recommended stage change, especially when you applied to multiple jobs at the same company.

With Simplify+, AI Email drafts follow-ups, thank-you notes, referral requests, and offer-stage messages. Add the actual conversation detail or request, then check the recipients, dates, and wording. Generate in the AI Email tab or use Emails → Compose → Ask AI with Gmail; choose Send separately when the message is ready.

Look for connections and read analytics

Use Get referrals in a supported job view to check for possible introductions. Follow the setup prompts and verify the person and relationship before asking for help. Finding a connection is different from receiving a referral or earning a referral reward.

Additional job analytics can help you understand the Simplify activity shown. Read the label and time period. They do not include every applicant through every site, and they do not establish your personal chance of being hired.

Manage access and your subscription

Use the same account in Copilot, on the web, and in the iOS app. If a paid action is missing, check the account and subscription status. Billing and refunds follow the provider where you subscribed: Simplify for web purchases and Apple for App Store purchases.

Recruiter discovery remains an opt-in profile setting. Resume Review and Salary Negotiation are separate services rather than subscription benefits. The pricing guide is the reference for standard plans and the free-versus-paid comparison.
