What Scout means by “human or AI”
The Scout AI Assistant is the lower-cost lane for defined searches and repeatable application answers. It uses your profiles and resume rules, applies, and records the job, status, and resume used.
The Scout Human Assistant is for searches that need more judgment. A dedicated person communicates through WhatsApp, handles exceptions, and provides detailed evidence for important application answers.
Both lanes use the same profiles, application tracker, resume workflow, and browser-extension delegation flow.
Choose the application help that fits the way you search.
