## Complete FAQ (from agentco.in)

**Do I need to know coding to use Scout?**
No. If you can open an app and type a message, you can use Scout. Setup takes about 3 minutes and there is no coding required.

Claude Code is an AI assistant CLI made by Anthropic (the company behind Claude AI). Scout is a plugin that runs inside Claude Code. You install Claude Code once for free from claude.ai/code.

No. During setup you tell Scout exactly what you are looking for — job titles, locations, industries, and minimum salary. Scout only applies to roles that match all your criteria.

**What job boards does Scout search?**
Scout searches 33+ sources across 7 groups every night — LinkedIn (including Recommended and Top Applicant feeds), Indeed, Naukri, Wellfound, YC Jobs, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Hirist, iimjobs, Instahyre, Cutshort, Otta, and international boards in UAE, Singapore, UK, Germany, and the Netherlands.

**Does Scout search for jobs outside India?**
Yes. Scout's Group F international search covers UAE/Dubai, Singapore, UK, Germany, and the Netherlands — all countries with straightforward immigration pathways for Indian professionals. International roles are scored against your profile and filtered by your minimum salary equivalent in the local currency. You can run India-only, international-only, or both in the same search.

**Does Scout write cover letters?**
Yes. For every deep-tier and standard-tier role (score ≥70), Scout writes a personalised cover letter tailored to the specific job description and company context. The cover letter is saved as a PDF alongside your tailored resume in your applications folder. For roles in the materials tier (score 60–69), Scout prepares the materials and queues them for your one-click review.

Yes. Everything runs on your own computer. Your resume, contact details, and application history never leave your machine and never go to any server.
