How Alynd uses AI
Alynd uses AI in three places: the Lyra AI agent, Interview Coach, and the CV import parser. This page explains what each feature sends to external AI services, why, and what limits apply — without naming individual vendors.

How AI fits into the Service
AI Features in Alynd are tools for drafting and preparation — they help you produce content faster, but they do not operate without your involvement. Every change generated by AI is shown to you as a proposal before it is saved. You decide what to apply, edit, or discard. Nothing is written to your account automatically.
AI Features are also opt-in by action. They run only when you actively use Lyra, Interview Coach, or the CV import tool. All other parts of the Service — manual editing, Studio, PDF export — operate without sending your data to AI processors.
Lyra — Alynd agent
Lyra helps you populate, edit, label, and tailor your career records using natural language. When you send a message to Lyra, the Service sends the following to our AI provider:
- The message you typed.
- Relevant excerpts of your existing career records needed to complete the request — for example, your work history when you ask Lyra to tag skills, or a specific job record when you ask Lyra to expand a responsibility.
- The section of the application you are currently in, so Lyra can scope its suggestions appropriately.
- Recent conversation history from the current Lyra session.
Lyra does not send your password, payment details, or data from sections of your account unrelated to your request.
Interview Coach
Interview Coach provides live interview assistance grounded in your CV and career records. It can use typed input, meeting capture, or transcription when you share tab audio.
If you enable audio capture, audio is sent to a speech-to-text provider for transcription. The resulting text is used in place of typed input. Audio is processed in real time and is not stored by Alynd after transcription.
During an Interview Coach session, the following may be sent to our AI provider:
- Your transcribed speech or typed messages.
- Relevant career context from your records and attached CV.
- Job context, notes, and conversation history from the current session.
- Optional screenshots you capture, when you choose to include them.
CV import parser
When you upload a CV file to import your work history, the text extracted from that file is sent to our AI provider. The provider returns structured career data — employers, dates, responsibilities, qualifications — as proposed records for your review. You can accept, edit, or discard each proposal individually. Nothing from the import is written to your account until you confirm it.
Do third-party AI providers train on this data?
Under standard API terms used by our AI and speech-to-text providers, data submitted through the API is not used to train their public models by default. This applies to data Alynd sends on your behalf when you use AI Features.
Those providers operate under data processing agreements with Alynd. You can request more detail at info@alynd.net.
Does Alynd train its own models on your data?
No. Alynd does not use your personal data, career records, CV content, or AI interaction history to train any AI model.
Important limitations of AI Features
AI-generated output is useful as a starting point, but it is not a reliable source of fact. Before using any AI-generated content externally — in a CV, job application, or interview — you should verify the following:
- Dates of employment, education, and certifications.
- Metrics, percentages, and quantified claims.
- Employer names, job titles, and locations.
- Qualification names, awarding bodies, and grades.
- Any statement that could be verified by a recruiter or background check provider.
AI Features must not be used to fabricate credentials, employment history, education records, certifications, references, or statements of eligibility. The Service is for organising and presenting what is genuinely true about your career — not for inventing it.
