# Using AI

> Where Hiresweep AI runs, what uses an AI action, and what you need before you start. There is nothing to set up.

Hiresweep's AI features run on **Hiresweep AI**, the AI built into the service. There is nothing to connect or configure: no provider, model or API key to add. Sign in and the AI features are ready.

## Where AI runs

| Feature | Where you find it |
| --- | --- |
| The agent, which drafts and edits resumes in a chat | **Agent** in the sidebar. See [Using the AI agent](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/using-ai-agent). |
| Suggested edits, job match score and Resume check | The **Agent** card in the builder. See [Using AI in the builder](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/using-ai-in-the-builder). |
| Reading a posting, scoring your resume, tailoring it and writing a cover letter | Each job in **Applications**. See [Tracking job applications](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/tracking-job-applications) and [Tailoring and cover letters](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/tailoring-and-cover-letters). |
| Generating Targets and explaining why a found job fits | **Discover**. See [Discovering jobs](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/discovering-jobs). |
| Turning a PDF or Word resume into an editable one | The import dialog on **Resumes**. See [Importing resumes](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/importing-resumes). |

The resume builder itself, templates, exports and sharing work without AI.

## What uses an AI action

Your plan includes a number of **AI actions**. Each request to Hiresweep AI uses one:

- each message you send to the agent, in the Agent workspace or in the builder;
- in the builder, each job post read, match score, suggestion rewrite and Resume check;
- each posting review, score, tailored resume and cover letter for a job in **Applications**;
- each time Hiresweep generates Targets or explains why found jobs fit;
- each PDF or Word import.

Some things never use AI actions: starting an agent chat, accepting, skipping or undoing a suggestion, adding a job to **Applications**, and the form filling during an application, which the application itself covers.

On the Free plan, AI actions are a one-time allowance that doesn't refill. On Pro they refill each month. See [Plans and usage](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/plans-and-usage) for what each plan includes and where to see how many you have left.

<Info>
  When your AI actions run out, AI features pause and Hiresweep tells you when more arrive, if your plan refills. To
  keep going right away, choose a bigger plan from **Settings** → **Plan & usage**.

## Before you start

Hiresweep AI needs a verified email address. If you signed up with email and password, open the link in the verification email before using AI features. Until then, AI requests are refused with a message asking you to verify your email.

## Your data

When you use an AI feature, the content that request needs, such as your resume or a job posting, is sent to the AI model provider Hiresweep uses. See the [Privacy Policy](https://docs.hiresweep.com/legal/privacy-policy) for details.
