Question 1

Where do I download the botin extension?

Accepted Answer

From the Chrome Web Store, via the 'Install Extension' card right below this list (or the 'Install Chrome Extension' button on the home page). Click 'Add to Chrome', pin the icon to your toolbar and open the side panel. Once installed, pair it with your account on the 'Connect extension' page.

Question 2

How do I open the botin website or dashboard from the extension?

Accepted Answer

You can open the site in three ways directly within the extension: (1) Click on the 'botin' logo or name at the top of the side panel; (2) Click the Help button (?) in the top-right corner of the header; or (3) Click the 'usebotin.app ↗' link in the footer. On the website you can manage your Profile, review your Q&A Bank, check your application history, and configure hidden companies.

Question 3

How do I connect and pair the extension with my account?

Accepted Answer

Visit the 'Connect extension' page on the botin website (or click 'Connect' in the extension panel). Click 'Generate pairing code' to receive an 8-digit code, then paste it into the extension. Pairing is instantaneous and secure.

Question 4

How does automatic form filling work on LinkedIn Easy Apply?

Accepted Answer

When you open a job posting on LinkedIn with 'Easy Apply', the botin side panel detects the current step's fields, matches them against your profile and Q&A Bank, and fills the inputs visibly in your browser. You can review every field before proceeding.

Question 5

Why are some fields highlighted in orange and not filled automatically?

Accepted Answer

Our core motto is 'never submit a form with doubt'. If a question is ambiguous, new, or absent from your profile with high confidence, botin highlights it in orange and pauses for you to review or answer manually. Your answer will be memorized by the Q&A Bank for future job applications.

Question 6

What is Autopilot and how does it submit applications?

Accepted Answer

Autopilot iterates through your LinkedIn Easy Apply search results, answers form steps, and submits applications automatically. It operates with randomized human-like delays (12 to 35 seconds between applications) and respects your daily cap, stopping immediately if any unknown required question is encountered.

Question 7

Is using the extension safe for my LinkedIn account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. botin is built with defensive engineering: it runs locally in your Chrome browser (Manifest V3), interacts only with the visible DOM of the active page, never uses undocumented private APIs, and enforces randomized pauses and daily caps to avoid aggressive bot patterns.

Question 8

How does the Q&A Bank learn from my answers?

Accepted Answer

Every time you fill or confirm an answer to a question in a job form, botin sends the canonical question-answer pair to your personal Q&A Bank. When subsequent job applications present the same question, botin automatically applies your confirmed answer.

Question 9

What is the Hidden Companies feature?

Accepted Answer

It hides postings from unwanted staffing agencies or companies from your LinkedIn search results. You can hide a company with one click on the job card or manage your list on the web dashboard (/hidden).

Question 10

How does automated recruiter connection work?

Accepted Answer

In the extension's 'Recruiters' tab, you can automate sending connection requests to recruiters on LinkedIn, with country and keyword filters and daily safety caps. Invites go out without a note: botin does not write messages to recruiters.

Question 11

What does botin do with my resume and personal data?

Accepted Answer

Your resume and answers are stored in your account and used only to fill your own applications. To read your resume and answer questions the system doesn't know yet, the required text goes through an AI provider — never the page's HTML. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising, and you can delete your account with everything in it at any time from your Profile. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
