Questions about Jobs.Dog.
Short answers, with a link to the longer one where there is one.
Common questions.
What is Jobs.Dog?
Jobs.Dog fetches matched jobs and keeps every role, application and note in one place, so you stop rebuilding your search from memory. Tell it the work, places and pay you want, and it brings in matching jobs and tracks each application. Apply yourself, or your connected AI app applies when you ask, if your AI app can use a browser.
Who is Jobs.Dog for?
Jobs.Dog is for people looking for work in the US who want the whole search in one place, with no spreadsheet to keep and no code to write. Use it on its own, or also connect an AI app you already use, so it can read your matches, record replies from your inbox and help you apply.
How does Jobs.Dog find jobs?
Jobs.Dog matches public job postings from employers' own careers sites against the roles, places and pay you set, and brings new matches in every day for you to save or pass. You can search every open job too. A connected AI app works with the jobs Jobs.Dog finds and does not search the web for more.
Is Jobs.Dog a job board?
No: Jobs.Dog is not a job board with listings for everyone to browse. It shows you only the jobs that match what you asked for, links each one to the employer's own posting, and keeps them beside every application you track. Jobs.Dog is not a résumé writer or an employer's hiring software either.
Who is Muttly, and what does he do?
Muttly is Jobs.Dog's built-in helper. He answers questions about your search, such as which jobs need you today. He writes a short summary and a fit check for a job, labelled as Jobs.Dog's, and suggests saves, passes and changes to your search that you confirm with a tap. He is available to beta testers and never applies or reads email.
Can I use Jobs.Dog with ChatGPT, Claude or another AI app?
Yes: Jobs.Dog works with ChatGPT, Claude or another AI app that supports connectors (MCP), as long as it can add one by address and sign in with it. As tested in September 2026, Jobs.Dog connects with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Muse, Gemini and Perplexity, and the Connections page in Jobs.Dog has steps for each.
Is Jobs.Dog an auto-apply bot?
No: Jobs.Dog doesn't apply for you, nor does Muttly. You apply on the employer's site and mark it applied. If your AI app can work in a browser, it can read the job and your notes in Jobs.Dog to help you apply. You stay in charge of what it sends. Jobs.Dog doesn't submit, check or guarantee anything it does.
Can Jobs.Dog spot ghost jobs?
No: Jobs.Dog can't tell whether a posting is a ghost job, and doesn't claim to. Each job links to the employer's own posting, so you can read it at the source.
How do I track job applications and interviews in Jobs.Dog?
Jobs.Dog keeps every job at one stage, To review, Saved, Applied, Interviewing, Offer or Closed, with its notes and history. The posting is saved word for word, so you can reread it before an interview, even after it comes down. An application that hears nothing for 30 days closes on its own, and reopens if a reply turns up.
Does Jobs.Dog work on my phone?
Yes: Jobs.Dog works on your phone, tablet and computer, with the same jobs and the same decisions on each. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing you need to install.
Does Jobs.Dog work outside the US?
No: Jobs.Dog works only in the US for now. It is offered to people in the United States, and the jobs it matches are in the US or remote within the US.
Who can see my job search and résumé?
Only you and the AI apps you approve can see your job search on Jobs.Dog, and the database walls each account off from every other. Only you can open your résumé files, which are stored encrypted. Jobs.Dog trains no AI on your data. With Muttly on, only what each question needs goes to the company that runs the model.
Does Jobs.Dog read my email or calendar?
No: Jobs.Dog has no email or calendar connection of its own, and Muttly never reads mail. If you connect your email to your AI app, your connected AI app can spot replies from employers there and record them in Jobs.Dog. What it reads is between you and that app.
Can I download or delete everything?
Yes: Jobs.Dog lets you download everything as one file, or delete your account, any time from Settings, Account. Deleting removes everything on the account at once, your résumé files included. Backups keep a copy for up to 90 days.
Can I sign up for Jobs.Dog now?
Jobs.Dog is in private beta in the US, so accounts are not open to everyone yet. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you an invitation when we can.
Who makes Jobs.Dog?
Jobs.Dog is made and run by VeryBadDog LLC, a Delaware limited liability company operating in Washington State. The terms say who your agreement is with, and the support page says how to reach us.

What is a connector, and do I need to know what MCP is?
A connector is how your connected AI app reaches an app like Jobs.Dog: you paste one address, https://jobs.dog/mcp, into your connected AI app's settings and approve it. MCP is the open standard behind that address, and you need to know nothing more about it to connect.
Why can't I add Jobs.Dog to my agent?
Your connected AI app cannot add Jobs.Dog if its plan cannot add a connector, if an administrator limits which connectors a workspace may add, or if its connectors take only a pasted key. There is no key to paste: your connected AI app's connector settings run the sign-in for you. Jobs.Dog cannot change any of that.
Why does my AI app keep asking me to approve Jobs.Dog?
Your AI app asks before each step it takes in Jobs.Dog until you tell it not to. In its connector settings, find Jobs.Dog and choose the always-allow option; some apps let you remember your answer for a chat instead.
Do I need a paid plan for my agent?
Whether your connected AI app needs a paid tier depends on its vendor. We recommend a paid tier of your connected AI app for usage and tools, since some providers limit what their free tier can do, connectors among them.
Does my agent need my password?
No: your connected AI app never gets your Jobs.Dog password. You sign in yourself and approve your connected AI app with one button, so there is no password or key to hand over, and you can take its access back any time.
How do I disconnect my agent?
To disconnect your connected AI app, press Disconnect on Settings, Connections in Jobs.Dog. Its access ends on its next request, and you can connect it again whenever you like.
What can my agent see and change?
Your connected AI app can read your matches, saved jobs and applications. With Early Adopter it can record applications, replies and interview rounds and, on your word, change your search or save or pass a job, each under its self-given name with an undo. It can never set the day you applied, ask itself to apply or change a setting.
What rules does my agent follow in Jobs.Dog?
Every AI you connect to Jobs.Dog is given the same rules: it does the legwork and keeps to what you asked for. Jobs.Dog enforces the firmest rules itself, whatever a connected AI app is told, and Rules your connected AI app follows sets them all out.
Can I connect more than one agent?
Yes: every AI app you connect to Jobs.Dog works on the same job search. When two change the same thing at once, the one that loses is told exactly what changed, so nothing is silently overwritten.
Can I stop an application my agent has not sent yet?
Yes: press Queue to apply again any time before your connected AI app is done, and the job comes off the queue, whichever AI picked it up. If your connected AI app has already started, Jobs.Dog checks with you first. Sent it yourself? Press I sent it myself and the job leaves the queue as sent.
