Everything you need to know about using SakaMboka to automate your job applications.
1. What is SakaMboka?

SakaMboka is an AI-powered job application pipeline. It discovers job listings matching your profile, scores them by fit, generates tailored resumes for the best matches, and writes cover letters — all automatically. You only review and send what looks right.


2. How does the scoring work?

Each job is scored 1–10 based on how well the job description matches your resume and profile. A score of 7+ means a strong match. Scoring uses an LLM (language model) and costs no credits — it runs automatically after discovery.


3. What do credits cover?

Each single job like score + tailored resume + cover letter costs 1-3 credits. Discovering, enriching, and scoring jobs are always free. Credits are deducted only when you click Tailor or Cover on a specific job, or when you batch tailor/cover multiple jobs.


4. Why does tailoring take ~10–60 seconds?

The AI reads your full resume and the full job description, then rewrites your resume in ATS-optimised JSON and assembles the final text. A validation + judge pass also runs to catch hallucinations. This careful process takes longer than a quick summary but produces a much higher-quality result.


5. Will my resume contain made-up information?

No. SakaMboka only rewrites and reorders information already in your profile and resume — it never invents new employers, degrees, or skills. A two-layer validation (field check + LLM judge) runs after every tailoring attempt and rejects any output that adds fabricated content.


6. Which job boards does SakaMboka search?

By default: LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, and most jobs posted on Google. You can enable or disable certain jobs categories including filtering jobs based on location, company type, work type and more in Jobs → Search.


7. How do I set my location and job preferences?

Go to Jobs → Search. Set your target job titles, location(s), and the maximum job age (how old a listing can be). These settings are applied on every Search.


8. What LLM keys do I need? (pending)

For tailoring and cover letters: a Gemini API key (free tier works, get one at aistudio.google.com). For scoring: a Groq API key (free tier, generous limits) or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Add your keys in Profile → Settings.


9. Is my data private?

Your resume, profile, and generated documents are stored only in your account and never shared with other users. LLM API calls are made directly to your chosen provider using your own API key — SakaMboka does not proxy your content through its own LLM accounts. See our Privacy Policy for full details.


10. How do I top up credits?

M-Pesa payments are coming soon. During the beta, contact us at Contact and we'll credit your account manually.


11. My jobs disappeared / the list is empty. Why?

Jobs older than 30 days are automatically archived to keep your list relevant. Archived jobs with a tailored resume attached are never removed — they stay in your list so you can track applications. If your list is empty, contact us at Contact for diagnosis.


12. I found a bug or have feedback.

Contact us — we'd be happy to address your concern.
