Is ProBot free?
Yes. ProBot is free to use and MIT-licensed. You only pay your own LLM provider for the tokens your bot uses (often pennies, or nothing on free tiers).Do I need a coding background?
No. Building a bot is a guided wizard: upload your resume, pick a model, share the link.Which LLMs are supported?
Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Google Gemini. See Models & keys.Where is my API key stored?
Kept encrypted with envelope encryption; sent per request, used once server-side, and never logged in plaintext. See Managed key storage for the encryption details.Will the bot make things up?
No. The bot answers only from the knowledge you provide. If something isn’t in your resume/bio, it says it doesn’t have that information rather than inventing it.What data do you collect about recruiters?
Only what they voluntarily submit in the lead form (name, email, company, optional LinkedIn). Conversations are logged anonymously.Can recruiters see my LLM key?
Never. The key is envelope-encrypted server-side, decrypted only in memory for one chat request, and never exposed to a visitor.Can I run the chat myself?
Yes - you can self-host your bot by installing theprobot-self-hosted npm package in your web app. The whole bot (persona, knowledge, provider) is configured in your code and your LLM key lives in your own backend. Optionally link the widget to the dashboard for conversation and lead analytics.
