Changelog
Every new feature and meaningful fix that changes how Olive works for you — shipped almost daily, logged here. No filler, no fine print.
July 30
Thursday
Save a job and Olive lays out the path — check your fit, tailor your résumé, practice the interview — with a quiet card on the job page that knows which step you're on and offers exactly one suggestion at a time, never a pop-up. When a fit check surfaces a gap you've actually covered, one tap hands it to Olive to work into your résumé and re-check. Dismiss a suggestion and it stays quiet, on every device you use.
Turn any search into a standing watch: Olive keeps your exact filters — radius, exclusions, all of it — and your morning email includes jobs that appeared since you saved it. Each job is emailed once, and a quiet day means no filler email at all. Manage every watch from Settings → Notifications, or just tell Olive “email me new matches for this search” in chat; you can keep up to five running.
When a nearby search comes up light, Olive now stretches the radius in steps until there's a real list to show — and says so with a chip like “Widened to 25 mi · +18 jobs” that you can tap to undo. A radius you set yourself is always respected; only the default gets stretched.
July 28
Tuesday
Finish a practice interview and the review now includes a delivery read: your pace, pauses, filler words, and vocal variation, each with its own bar, plus coaching moments quoting your actual answers — what you said, and a sharper way to say it. An annotated transcript shows each answer the way it sounded, pauses and emphasis included. Delivery is a preview for now — it doesn't count toward your score yet — but it's all there to read.
Open a job search in chat and the first results are already shaped by the job preferences you saved — your roles, your area, your schedule — shown as chips you can edit right there. A new “Use my defaults” control in the filter drawer snaps any search back to your baseline in one tap.
July 27
Monday
The front page now surfaces real application deadlines closing tonight near you — and once Olive knows your target roles, they're matched to them. Tap one and Olive opens the posting and starts the conversation: is this worth your evening? The stat row went concrete too — how many jobs were added today, and how many ghost or closed listings were pulled out.
Recommendations now weigh attainability alongside relevance: roles whose requirements you clearly meet rise, roles asking for years you don't have yet sink, and if you've told Olive the level you're aiming for, seniority is judged against that — not just your résumé. The result is a feed that leads with jobs worth applying to today.
Generated and tailored résumés now order their sections to fit your career stage — a student's or new grad's résumé leads with education, an experienced candidate's with work history — and the in-app preview shows exactly the order the download will have. Downloads carry a proper name now, too: FirstLast_Role_Company, ready to attach as-is.
⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) jumps to the chat composer from anywhere, ⌘⇧O starts a fresh conversation, and on the front page “/” focuses the command bar — or just start typing and it catches your keystrokes mid-word. The talk controls now show their keys in tooltips, including hold-Space to talk.
July 26
Sunday
Building your profile no longer has to happen one question at a time: paste your whole history into Olive's chat — a stack of bullets, an old bio, notes off your phone — and she reads it the way she reads a résumé, sorting experience, skills, and education into your profile in one pass. Long pastes are fine; Olive keeps the conversation going while the parse finishes.
July 25
Saturday
Tell Olive “make me a résumé” and she builds a starter document from your profile right in the conversation, opening it beside the chat when it's ready. Rehearsing for a role you found somewhere else? Describe it — title, company, even a pasted job description — and practice starts from that, no saved job needed. Signed out? Sign in mid-flow and the request picks up exactly where it left off.
July 21
Tuesday
Every job page now carries a freshness stamp — “Verified open 3d ago” when we've recently confirmed the posting against its source, “Seen in employer's feed” for jobs that come straight from the company. Hover it on the web, or long-press it in the app, and it explains exactly what it means — so you know how fresh a lead is before you invest an evening in it.
When Olive tailors a résumé for a match in your morning email, the email now previews what she actually wrote, with the draft one click away. Your top match also carries a direct line into interview practice — so a strong morning lead can become a rehearsal before lunch.
July 18
Saturday
Search with an experience-level filter — entry level, junior, mid — and each job card now carries a small chip saying where that posting actually stands: “No experience required,” the exact years it asks for, or a plain “Experience level not stated” when the employer doesn't say. No more guessing how a role squares with the level you asked for — the card tells you up front.
Type a search in your own words and the filter bar now echoes exactly what Olive understood, chip by chip — the role, the place, the schedule — so there's never a mystery about what was searched. Counts got straighter, too: when a search spans your area plus remote roles, the total reads “12 nearby · 10,000+ remote” instead of one blended number. And a search that comes up empty now names the filters standing in the way, each one a tap from being removed.
The Toolbox is now My Résumé — your Profile and your Documents, two tabs side by side — and Practice is now Interview, everywhere it appears. Same tools, names that say what they hold; old links and bookmarks land in the right place automatically.
July 17
Friday
Type your email, we send a six-digit code, and you're in — no password to invent, no other account required. It works on the web, in the mobile app, and in the browser extension, and it joins Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn in your Connected Accounts, so whichever method you reach for gets you into the same account.
Ask for a fit check before you've told Olive about yourself and a “Build it with Olive” button now pivots that same conversation into a short guided interview — anchored to the very job you were curious about, no detour to a separate page. The finish-your-profile reminder in the notification bell works the same way, and Olive coaches the whole journey: questions come one at a time, nothing gets asked twice, and anything it saves can be changed or undone just by asking.
Upload a résumé and go right back to what you were doing — when it lands, a note tells you exactly what arrived: “12 skills, 4 roles, and 2 certifications.” Ask for a fit check or a tailored résumé while it's still processing and Olive simply holds that thought and runs it by itself the moment your profile is ready. And once your profile grows, a nudge on your results offers a one-tap re-run so everything re-ranks with the full picture.
Hand-inked olive branches now grow through the homepage — sketching themselves in beside the headline, watermarking the chat, and winding through the story below the fold — a crisp counterpart to the soft color wash behind them. The page answers more plainly, too: who's behind Olive, what it costs (nothing — no card, no trial clock), and a FAQ one tap from the footer.
July 15
Wednesday
LinkedIn joins Google and Microsoft as a one-tap sign-in on the mobile app and browser extension, matching the web. A new Connected Accounts section in settings shows each sign-in method linked to your account and the email behind it — connect several so whichever you reach for gets you in, or disconnect one with a confirming tap. The sign-in screens themselves wear a matching new look on every platform.
Olive now follows the career pages of hundreds of AI-native companies — research labs, infrastructure startups, and the products built on them — many of which never post to the big job boards. Their roles land in search alongside everything else: verified, de-duplicated, and kept fresh with the same checks as the rest of the catalog.
July 14
Tuesday
Every location field on the search page and in Olive's filters now opens an interactive map: drop the pin where you'd start your commute, stretch the radius until the circle covers exactly the ground you mean, and search. Searches begin at a focused ten miles instead of a wide default, your filter chips say plainly what area a search covered, and fully-remote roles join a local search only when you ask.
July 13
Monday
The most-requested filter from our first hundred users is here: narrow any search by how recently a role went up, right from the filters panel on web and mobile — or just tell Olive “only show me jobs posted this week.” It saves with your Job Preferences like any other filter, so every search starts from it. Job cards are more precise about age, too: when the employer lists a posting date you'll see it, and when Olive only knows the day it first tracked the role, the card says exactly that — so a date always means what it says.
July 12
Sunday
Ask Olive for your toolbox or your résumés and one workspace panel now opens beside the chat with both a tab apart — carrying the same full editors as their standalone pages, so you can correct a work-history date, add a skill, or rename a résumé without leaving the conversation. The profile-strength meter returns with a seven-point checklist of what to strengthen next, skills show the proficiency you've set at a glance, and every tailored résumé in your library now wears the logo of the company it targets. The homepage's My Jobs, My Résumés, and Toolbox shortcuts drop you straight into that conversation, too.
July 11
Saturday
Olive now writes cover letters the same way it tailors résumés: grounded in your real background and the specific job, never invented — and if your profile doesn't hold enough to write from, Olive says so instead of making something up. Generate one from the Tailor workspace or just ask Olive in chat, polish it in a full editor, and download it as a PDF, Word document, or plain text. Letters live alongside your résumés in the library on web and mobile, and the browser extension can hand the right letter straight to an application's documents step.
July 10
Friday
Found a role someone you know should see? Every job now carries a share button — on the job detail across web and mobile, and right in the Olive chat — that hands you a clean public link anyone can open, account or not. You can also just ask Olive to share the job you're discussing: a share card drops into the conversation with the link and a one-tap copy button. Best part — if the person you send it to has the Olive app, the link opens straight into their Olive tab with the job already pulled up, and Olive asks what they'd like to do with it: check their fit, tailor a résumé, or practice the interview. Pasted links unfurl into a rich preview with the role, employer, and company logo, too.
A little pin now lives on job cards, missing skills, and nearly every insight inside a fit evaluation. Pin something and it becomes a standing subject of your conversation — carried across searches, view changes, and reconnects until you remove it, with a tray above the composer showing everything Olive is holding onto. Pinned jobs act as your working shortlist: Olive compares them, knows which role “that hospital one from earlier” means, and nudges each toward its next step. Pin a skill you're missing and Olive opens a real coaching thread — specific questions that surface experience you already have and capture it straight into your toolbox, and when a skill genuinely isn't there yet, an honest, concrete plan to build it.
July 9
Thursday
Launch day. Olive Jobs is officially out for iPhone and Android — your whole job search in your pocket. Talk to Olive out loud, search and save jobs, tailor your résumé to any role, and run voice practice interviews, with everything synced to your account on the web.
July 7
Tuesday
Ask Olive for jobs near you — or search “near me” — and your browser asks permission to share your location, then the search centers on where you actually are. Your choice is always honored: decline, and Olive simply asks which city or area to search instead.
July 6
Monday
Profile building and résumé tailoring now run on the same Olive that powers everything else. Talk through your background and Olive fills in every section of your toolbox — work history, education, coursework, projects, certifications, even your security clearance — and when precision matters, like an email address or phone number, it hands you a pre-filled form to confirm instead of transcribing. In tailor mode, a live gap tracker shows exactly which parts of the target job your résumé already covers and what's left to strengthen.
Your toolbox and résumé library graduated out of account settings into their own top-level workspace, one click from anywhere — profile sections in the Toolbox tab, your résumé library right beside it. Practice joined the main navigation too, so the four things you do most all sit side by side.
Olive's front door now puts talking first: a tap-to-talk button front and center, quick-start shortcuts right beside the composer, and a welcome-back note from Olive when you return mid-search. Signed in, the headline reflects what you were working on — so picking your search back up starts the moment the page loads.
When Olive edits, adds, or removes something in your tailored résumé, the panel now glides to that exact spot and pulses a soft ring around it just before the change lands — so you see every edit the moment it happens instead of hunting for what changed.
July 5
Sunday
Reload the page mid-conversation — even mid-voice-session — and Olive picks right back up where you were, with your messages, results, and context intact. Long sessions now renew quietly in the background as well, so a deep, hour-long conversation keeps flowing without interruption.
July 4
Saturday
Your résumé library is now searchable: type a role, a company, or a date and matching résumés surface as you type. Close matches count too, so a slightly-off spelling still finds the résumé you meant — on web and mobile.
July 3
Friday
Olive now sees the same result list you do, so natural references just work: “open the third one,” “the one at the engineering firm,” “compare the first two.” It can walk through results beyond the visible page when you ask for more — and when a reference is genuinely ambiguous, it asks a quick clarifying question instead of guessing.
July 2
Thursday
Ask Olive to pull up your recent activity, check your notifications, review your job preferences, or send us feedback, and it all happens right beside the conversation — panels slide in next to the chat on web, and the same tools answer in the mobile app. The notification bell now updates live, too.
July 1
Wednesday
Ask Olive about any job and it now knows whether the posting is still accepting applicants and what your fit evaluation found — and after generating a résumé for you, it keeps refining through follow-ups instead of starting from scratch. Questions about your search settings answer from your actual saved preferences, search radius included.
June 30
Tuesday
Bring your own job posting into a practice interview and Olive now reads the real employer and role straight out of it, so the conversation feels specific to that job — and your feedback afterward is scored against a rubric built for exactly what you practiced.
June 29
Monday
Olive is now the front door to the app — a single conversation, by voice or text, that searches jobs, evaluates how you fit, tailors your résumé, and runs a practice interview, all without bouncing between pages. Results show up as real, tappable cards right beside the chat, and Olive keeps track of what you've already told it as the conversation continues.
Voice control in Olive is now unmistakable: tap once to start talking, or press and hold for as long as you need, with a friendly ferret standing in as Olive's avatar so you always know when it's listening.
Ask Olive to show your saved jobs or your résumés and they slide in as a panel right beside the chat — browse, open, or jump into one, then keep talking without losing your place in the conversation.
Upload a résumé straight from the Olive composer — it shows up as a tidy pill above your message, and Olive picks it up automatically wherever the conversation needs it, from tailoring to practice interviews.
Step away from a chat with Olive and come back later — your conversation is saved, so you can pick the thread back up instead of starting over.
You can explore Olive's job search without an account. The moment a request needs something personal — your saved jobs, your résumé, your tailored advice — Olive asks you to sign in right there in the conversation, instead of gating the whole experience up front.
June 25
Thursday
Every employer logo across job listings now loads through a fast, cached proxy on both web and mobile, so the logo shows up cleanly next to the listing it belongs to.
June 24
Wednesday
Compensation figures across listings now go through an extra validation pass before they're shown, so the pay range on a job lines up with what the posting actually says.
June 23
Tuesday
Tap an Olive link on your phone — a job, a practice session, your account — and it now offers to open right in the app, landing you exactly where the link points instead of the mobile browser.
June 22
Monday
More postings now show their pay up front, and every salary reads in its own local currency, so a figure means what it says. Listings that have come down clear out of your results faster, too — what you see stays current and complete.
June 21
Sunday
Two new free resources, no account required. A growing library of job-seeker guides covers résumés, interviews, search strategy, and evaluating offers — and a set of original data reports, drawn from millions of live postings, digs into questions like which states actually post salaries and how rare fully-remote roles really are.
June 20
Saturday
Multi-page, image-heavy, and densely formatted résumés now process cleanly from start to finish, so every role, skill, and date makes it into your toolbox — no matter how big the file.
June 19
Friday
Your active search filters now show as tappable chips you can clear in a tap, a quiet note tells you when results were broadened to keep the list full, and you can dismiss any single job you're not interested in so it stops coming back — on web and mobile.
June 18
Thursday
Every job's detail page now spells out exactly what security clearance it calls for, and your own clearance status shapes ranking across all of search — eligible roles rise, and roles needing a clearance you don't hold settle lower. Record or update your clearance and your matches adjust on the spot.
Listings that used to show only a broad country now pin to a real city and state wherever we can determine it — so your location filters and “near me” searches catch far more of the jobs that are actually within reach.
June 16
Tuesday
Search now holds a higher relevance bar, so results stay tightly matched to what you typed: a household-name employer won't crowd into an unrelated role just because the brand is familiar, and smarter handling of job-title synonyms makes sure the right roles surface.
June 15
Monday
Tell Olive the places you're not willing to work and they disappear from your results and your daily digest. Add a city or a whole state, pick it from the map so it's matched precisely, and every job there drops out — on web and mobile.
The job-search filters got a tidy-up. The ones you actually reach for — location, work style, role and schedule, and pay — are open and ready the moment the panel opens, while niche options fold into a single “Advanced” section. Clearer labels mean “position type” and “employment type” no longer blur together.
June 14
Sunday
The jobs in your daily digest now honor the location and radius you've set, so a search centered on your town stops surfacing roles several states away. It also skips every role, company, city, and state you've chosen to hide, so the email matches what you'd see in your feed.
Your saved preferences are now grouped into three plain-English sections — what you're looking for, where and how you want to work, and what to hide — so setting up your search takes less hunting. Location fields are map-powered, so what you type lines up with real places.
June 13
Saturday
Request an export of your Olive data — your profile, saved jobs, applications, and activity — and we email you a secure, single-use download link, ready in minutes. It's yours to keep, no support ticket required.
June 12
Friday
Typed searches now blend keyword and meaning-based matching, so shorthand like “RN” finds Registered Nurse roles, and a misspelled query quietly retries with the corrected spelling instead of coming up empty. Plain-language locations now work worldwide, not just in the US — and jobs you've already applied to stop crowding your results.
Save a job and Olive now tells you the moment it's taken down, so you don't sink time into a role that's already gone. Closed listings wear a clear “Closed” badge, and their detail page shows the posting is no longer accepting applicants — on both web and mobile.
The job detail header now tucks itself away as you scroll, giving the description the full height of the screen — and slides back the moment you scroll up.
June 11
Thursday
Every job now checks its skill list against your toolbox, pill by pill. Spot a skill you actually have that Olive missed? Tap it, confirm it's yours, and it lands in your toolbox instantly — your match pills update live on every job card, no refresh needed.
Olive now ships its receipts. This page logs every new feature and meaningful fix the moment it lands — with live animated demos you can watch right in the entry. Bookmark it; it only grows from here.
June 10
Wednesday
A big batch of search-accuracy fixes. Remote searches stay scoped to where you can actually work, excluded companies are gone for good (even when the brand only shows up in the job title), compound skills like “machine learning” no longer get split apart during matching, and jobs with no listed skills stop being labeled “Qualified.”
Interview feedback now grades only what actually happened. End a session early and the areas the conversation never reached aren't held against you — and your icebreaker small talk no longer counts toward your evaluation. Ending an interview also asks for confirmation first, so one stray tap can't cut a session short.
Switching from text to voice mid-conversation now hands Olive a live microphone (it used to go silently deaf), messages typed while the chat is still connecting are no longer dropped, and if your connection hiccups, Olive picks the conversation back up with full memory of what you'd discussed.
A full accessibility sweep: sharper text contrast in both light and dark themes, dialogs that keep keyboard focus where it belongs, screen-reader-friendly confirmations, and proper page landmarks for assistive tech across the app.
June 9
Tuesday
On phones, the landing-page concierge swapped its clunky Chat/Results tabs for a draggable sheet — your matches slide up over the conversation, and you can peek, expand, or tuck them away while you keep talking. “+4 more” skills on match cards now actually expand, too.
June 8
Monday
Olive's new mark rolled out across the entire product — web app, mobile app, and browser extension now share one unified brand. The website also sprouted App Store and Google Play badges teasing the mobile launch.
June 4
Thursday
Fit evaluations dropped the cryptic 0–100 score for plain-language tiers — Strong Match, Almost There, Developing Fit, or Getting Started — plus “Where You Stand” cards that break down each area of the role with what's working and what closes the gap.
Expand any job card to see the full fit breakdown — missing required skills, how your years of experience stack up, education and certification coverage, and per-area match bars. The matching engine always knew this; now you get to see it.
Conversations with Olive got tangible: the concierge drops real, tappable job cards into the chat, finishing a practice interview surfaces an inline feedback card, and the profile-builder chat can pop up an actual form — pre-filled from your conversation — for you to review and confirm.
The profile builder now shows a live completeness meter and stats panel, so you know exactly which sections of your toolbox are filled in — and which gaps are holding your matches back.
The floating feedback button is now fully yours: drag it to any corner and ghost rings light up to show where it'll snap, with the nearest landing spot glowing as you drag. Prefer it gone? Dismiss it and bring it back anytime from settings.
Visitors can now flip between light and dark mode right from the header before ever signing in. The whole site reskins instantly, and your choice sticks around.
June 3
Wednesday
Pressing push-to-talk now cuts Olive off the instant you press — it stops speaking, stays quiet while you talk, and responds fresh to what you actually said. No more talking over each other.
Onboarding is now an invitation, not a tollbooth. New users can tap “Set up later” and jump straight into browsing jobs, with a friendly nudge in the notification bell to finish their profile whenever they're ready.
June 2
Tuesday
Global undo/redo now covers every change — AI suggestions, your own edits, regenerations — and redesigned change cards clearly label what was Added vs Edited, staying in sync even across undos and reloads. Saving back to your profile shows an explicit review of exactly what will be saved.
Tell the landing-page concierge “software engineer jobs near Atlanta” and it geocodes your location properly — suburbs and surrounding areas included. It also handles real-world asks like a minimum hourly rate or ruling out specific employers, and when you tap a match and head into the app, that exact job opens with you.
The landing concierge no longer forgets you. Close the chat and reopen it — even hours later — and your conversation and matches are right where you left them, with a restart button if you'd rather begin fresh.
June 1
Monday
A new toolbox setting lets you record whether you hold a security clearance or could obtain one — and fit evaluations and resume tailoring now factor it in. Huge for anyone eyeing government and defense roles.
Adding an excluded role like “CNA” used to break profile saves entirely — and even when exclusions saved, some search paths ignored them. All fixed: exclusions now apply everywhere, understand synonyms, and your For You feed refreshes immediately after profile edits.
More shipping every week.
New entries land here the moment they ship. Come see what these features feel like with your own job search.
