AI recruiting software your tools already understand.
Kit is an AI-native applicant tracking system (ATS) with 66 MCP tools, 6 specialized AI agents, and BYOK multi-provider AI supporting Gemini, Anthropic, and OpenRouter.
Kit gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Windsurf full access to your hiring pipeline through 66 MCP tools. Or use Kit's built-in agents — 6 specialists that screen, draft, triage, and research while you sleep.
Works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI.
Every ATS says 'AI-powered.' Here's what they mean.
Template text. Black-box models. Zero integration with your actual AI tools.
Auto-generated job descriptions. The same ones everyone else gets.
Most ATS vendors call a single GPT endpoint to rewrite your job post. That's their entire AI feature. You could do it yourself in ChatGPT for free.
Proprietary models you can't audit, swap, or control.
Their AI runs on a model you didn't choose, trained on data you can't inspect, with costs hidden in your subscription. When EU AI Act audits come, you'll have nothing to show.
Your best AI tools have no idea what's in your hiring pipeline.
You use Claude or ChatGPT daily, but they can't see your candidates, stages, reviews, or salary bands. Two powerful systems that can't talk to each other.

Ask Kit anything about your hiring pipeline.
The Kit AI Assistant knows your candidates, stages, reviews, and salary data. Ask a question in natural language. Get structured answers with real data — not generic suggestions.

AI candidate screening that runs while you sleep.
Not every AI feature needs a chat window. These agents work in the background — processing, drafting, and triaging without human intervention.
Inbound Email Triage
Catch-all inbox emails are automatically matched to open roles. Qualified candidates get applications created. Others get polite, personalized responses.
Outreach Email Drafting
The Outreach Drafter researches each prospect — their company, role, and recent work — then writes a fully personalized email. No templates, no merge tags.
Reply Analysis
When a prospect replies, Kit analyzes the sentiment, reads the full conversation history, and drafts a contextual follow-up. You approve before it sends.
Security Report Screening
Incoming vulnerability reports are automatically screened for 12 spam and low-quality signals. Obvious noise is flagged before your team sees it.
Resume Data Extraction
Custom data fields are extracted from resumes, form responses, and questionnaires — with confidence scores. Results broadcast to Slack candidate channels.
Kit vs. typical ATS AI features.
Most applicant tracking systems bolt on AI as a marketing checkbox. Kit builds AI into the architecture.
| Capability | Kit | Typical ATS |
|---|---|---|
| AI model choice | BYOK: Gemini, Anthropic, OpenRouter | Locked to vendor's model |
| MCP tool access | 66 tools for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor | None |
| AI agents | 6 specialized agents across 3 modules | Job description generator |
| Data governance | Your keys, your data policies, full audit trail | Data sent to vendor's model |
| Cost visibility | Per-provider credits, usage dashboard | Hidden in subscription |
| AI pricing | Included in every plan + BYOK | $50-200/mo add-on |
| Autonomous workflows | 5 background automations | Manual triggers only |
| EU AI Act readiness | BYOK audit trail, model transparency | No tooling provided |
Everything AI does inside Kit.
Six agents, 66 MCP tools, and five autonomous workflows — all included.
6 Specialized Agents
Hiring Assistant, Security Agent, Slack Bot, Outreach Drafter, Outreach Responder, and Email Triage. Each has domain-specific instructions and scoped tool access.
Credit Management
Set daily or monthly spending limits per provider. Threshold notifications warn you before you hit caps. Usage dashboard breaks down costs by agent and model.
Smart Model Routing
Four task tiers — Premium, Standard, Economy, Embedding — route each request to the optimal model. Fast tasks use cheap models. Complex reasoning uses premium.
Structured Outputs
Kit's agents return structured data — candidate scores, salary comparisons, severity assessments — not just prose. Every response is actionable.
EU AI Act Ready
BYOK means you control model selection and can audit every decision. Human-in-the-loop confirmation for irreversible actions. Full attribution trail.
Works Without AI
If your AI provider goes down, Kit keeps running. AI features degrade gracefully — you lose suggestions, not functionality.

AI hiring FAQ.
What is Kit?
Kit is an AI-native applicant tracking system (ATS) for startups and growing teams. It includes 6 specialized AI agents, 66 MCP tools for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and Cursor, and BYOK multi-provider AI with support for Gemini, Anthropic, and OpenRouter. Kit also offers vulnerability disclosure management, AI-powered outreach, and compensation research.
What providers and models does Kit support?
Kit supports three providers: Google Gemini (recommended), Anthropic (Claude), and OpenRouter (which gives you access to GPT-4o, Llama, and 200+ other models). Each provider maps to four task tiers — Premium, Standard, Economy, and Embedding — so Kit always uses the right model for the job. You can switch providers at any time.
Do I need my own API key?
No. Kit includes starter AI credits so you can try every feature without bringing a key. When you're ready for production use, connect your own Gemini, Anthropic, or OpenRouter key for full control over costs, model selection, and data governance.
What data does the AI access?
Kit's AI only accesses data within your account — candidates, applications, job postings, reviews, and uploaded documents. It never accesses other accounts' data or trains on your information. MCP tools use OAuth 2.0 scoped tokens, so external AI clients only see what you authorize.
Is Kit compliant with the EU AI Act?
Yes, Kit is designed for EU AI Act compliance. BYOK means you select and audit your own models. Every AI output includes attribution (model, timestamp, context). Irreversible actions like rejection require human confirmation. You can disable AI entirely per module.
How much does AI cost?
Kit's AI features are included in every plan at no extra charge. If you bring your own key, you pay your provider directly at their published rates. Smart routing uses economy models for simple tasks — most accounts spend less than $5/month on AI. Daily and monthly credit limits prevent surprises.
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools like Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and Cursor connect to external services. Kit exposes 66 MCP tools across hiring, security, outreach, and compensation. Connect Kit as an MCP server and your AI can list candidates, advance applications, and check salary benchmarks through natural language.
Can I use Kit without AI?
Yes. Every feature in Kit works without AI. AI is additive — it accelerates workflows but never blocks them. You can disable AI features per module in Settings. Many teams start without AI and enable it later as they scale.
What happens if a provider goes down?
Kit's core functionality runs independently of any AI provider. If your provider is unavailable, AI features like the assistant and auto-drafting pause until recovery. You can configure a backup provider for automatic fallback.
One AI layer. Every workflow.
The same AI infrastructure powers hiring decisions, security triage, outreach personalization, and compensation research. Connect one API key and every module benefits.
