How it works
The rules the system applies, explained.
Age status light
Every application is marked according to how many days have passed since you sent it. It's for spotting at a glance which ones are going cold.
- RecentUp to 15 days. Also applications with no date on file, and ones dated in the future.
- Between 16 and 21 days. A good time to write to the recruiter.
- No newsMore than 21 days.
The day is calculated in the America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires time zone, so the cutoff doesn't depend on where the server is.
Application statuses
These are the six. Analytics uses them to calculate what proportion of your applications reached at least one interview.
The portal, on the other hand, is free text: you can type one that isn't on the suggestions list.
Attachments
Each application can have its own résumé and its own cover letter, as PDF or Word — so you keep a record of exactly which version you sent for that job.
Uploading a new file of the same type replaces the previous one: versions don't pile up within an application.
Maximum size per file: 1 MB.
Calendar
Brings together every scheduled stage across all your applications — interviews, exams, trainings — in a single day, week, or month view.
You can filter by status (scheduled, done, cancelled), and each stage links to its application's detail, with a link back to the calendar exactly as you left it.
Timeline
Each application's detail page shows its complete history — which stage it was, with whom, how it went — ordered from most recent to oldest.
Any stage can be added to Google Calendar or exported as an .ics file, and stages left with a past date ask you to say whether they happened or were cancelled.
Connecting Claude or ChatGPT
Postulate.Me exposes an MCP server: you can ask Claude or ChatGPT about your applications, and have them add a new one, without leaving the chat.
In claude.ai or ChatGPT, add a custom connector with this address:
https://postulate.me/api/mcp
This app opens so you can approve the permission; that is where you choose read-only or read and write.
The connector sees exactly your data and nothing else. You can cut the permission from your profile at any time, without telling anyone.
What you can ask it for: 9 tools
The name in grey is what the assistant uses internally; you never have to type it. The 2 marked “Writes” only work if you granted write access when connecting, and none of them delete anything.

A connector with write permission can create and modify applications and stages. It cannot delete anything, send email, or touch your account settings.
Import and export
Applications and contacts are imported from a CSV file with a header row. Capitalization, accents, and column order don't matter: «Teléfono», «telefono», and «phone» are all recognized the same.
What you export can be imported again without changing anything, and there's a downloadable template with the format already set up. If a row can't be imported, the system tells you which one and why instead of silently discarding it.
