# Assistant

> Say what you are trying to do and the assistant names the tools to use, in order. It opens nothing for you. What is sent, what it costs, what is kept.

The **Assistant**, in the sidebar, answers questions about what you are trying to
do and says which of Rejarsume's tools to use and in what order. It uses an AI
model, so it is optional and only there if this copy of Rejarsume has AI set up.
It cannot read your resumes or anything you have written, and it never opens a
tool or changes anything: it names the tools, and you press the one you want.

## Before you start

It is behind the same **Sign in** and agreement as [AI in the editor](https://shopsalone.com/en/docs/help/ai-assistant.md#start):
credits and your agreement belong to you and not to whoever uses this browser.
You can take the agreement back at any time with **Withdraw my agreement**.

## Chat

Type what you need and press **Send**. The answer is short, and under **Tools that
fit** are buttons for the tools it suggests, in the order to use them, each with a
line on why. Pressing one takes you there: the career coach, the learning hub or
the writing studio open on the right tab. The tools of the editor need a resume
open, which the assistant cannot do for you, so for those it says where to find
them and takes you to your resumes.

It is told only whether you have a resume, a job description and a cover letter,
as three yes or no answers: **I have a resume**, **I have a job description** and
**I have a cover letter**. They start from what is in this browser and you can
change them. It never sees what is in any of them.

A conversation is held on the screen only. The earlier turns are sent with each
message so that it follows what was said, up to the latest eight, and **New
conversation** starts again. **Save the conversation** keeps it under **Saved**.

## Tools

**Tools** lists everything the AI features can do, grouped by where it is, with a
button for each. It is the same list the assistant chooses from.

## Usage

**Usage** shows what you have used this month: how many requests and how many
credits, by feature, and the latest requests with whether each succeeded. It is
counts only. The server never keeps what you sent or what came back.

## Saved

**Saved** lists the conversations you kept. **Open** shows one, with the same
buttons for the tools it named, and **Delete** removes it, after asking, from this
device and from your account. A saved conversation is a record of your own, like a
resume: it is stored here and in your account, and it comes to your other devices
when they sync.

## Credits

Each request costs credits, taken before the model is called and given back if it
fails. Unless whoever runs this copy has set other prices:

- **Send** costs 1 credit.

The page shows how many are left and when they renew. Pressing a button twice, or
a connection that drops and retries, is not charged twice.

## What is sent and what is kept

Only your message, the earlier turns of the conversation and the three yes or no
answers, and only when you press **Send**. Nothing you send or receive is stored by
the AI service or by the server that relays it: what is kept is a count of
requests and credits. The one thing that is kept is a conversation you press
**Save the conversation** on, and that is yours, in your account like a resume. See
