If Scout, resume tailoring, or job parsing is not working, try these steps.
- Check your API key — Go to Settings > Preferences > AI Provider and make sure your key is entered correctly
- Check the provider's status — Your AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Grok) may be experiencing downtime
- Wait and retry — AI features are limited to 10 requests per minute. If you have been using them heavily, wait a moment.
- Shorten your input — Job descriptions and contact text are limited to 50,000 characters
About your API keys:
Your API keys are stored on your device only. They are never sent to Orbit's servers or included in cloud sync.
Tip: If you recently changed your API key with your provider, update it in Settings > Preferences as well.
