## How do I message Kariaa?

Kariaa runs on the messaging apps you already use. Message the assistant on WhatsApp or Telegram to search for work, ask about a role, and submit an application in the same thread. There is nothing extra to install, and using the chat assistant is free.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which messaging apps can I use with Kariaa?

Kariaa works over WhatsApp and Telegram. You message the assistant on whichever you already use, and there is nothing extra to install.

### What can I actually do over chat?

You can describe the work you want, have relevant opportunities surfaced from your profile and interests, apply to a role, answer an employer's follow-up questions, and share recordings where a role asks for them, all without leaving the conversation.

### Does messaging Kariaa cost anything?

No. The chat assistant is free to use for people looking for work. Standard message and data charges from your own network or messaging app still apply.

### Do I still need an account if I only use chat?

Yes. Chat is another way into the same account, so you still create a profile and verify it. Once that is done, the assistant works from your profile.

### Do I need a resume to use Kariaa?

You do not need a formal resume to get started. Your profile captures your experience, the kind of work you are looking for and where you can work. You can upload a resume and supporting documents if you have them, and they are reused across applications rather than re-uploaded each time.

### Do I have to apply to each employer separately?

No. That is the point of verifying your profile once. When you apply, your verified profile is submitted for you, so you are not retyping the same details into a new form for every role.

### Do I need an account to browse opportunities?

Yes. Opportunities are visible once you have created an account and completed profile verification. This keeps listings and applicant details out of public view, so signing in comes before browsing or applying.
