can ai update cats for me

Yes, with a click in between. A companion can create a contact and create a candidate, and it shows you the batch before anything is written to CATS. Nothing lands unapproved.

what can strawberry actually do in cats

Exactly what CATS exposes and no more: create a contact, create a candidate and add candidate to job pipeline, among 3 in total, across the candidates and contacts. The full list is printed on the app's page inside Strawberry and repeated above.

That is the common case. A companion reads the candidates your CATS account holds, works each one against whatever else you point it at, and stages the changes for approval rather than writing them.

CATS Strawberry

Someone still has to create contact. It does not have to be you

A companion works the 3 operations your CATS account exposes. It can create a contact and create a candidate, and every one of those waits on an approval card showing the candidate before it changes.

Open the candidate. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the CATS afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a candidate until you approve it.

What it can do is exactly what CATS exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, no reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can create a contact, create a candidate and add candidate to job pipeline, and work across the candidates and contacts.

The CATS API stops at CATS. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.

Which CATS candidates does a companion see?

In the tab.

CATS exposes no read operation to a connected account, so a companion opens CATS in the session you are already signed into and reads the screens you would.

The candidates are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the contacts. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of CATS admin becomes a queue you review.

Can it change a candidate without asking?

All 3 write operations wait for you.

A companion can create a contact, create a candidate and add candidate to job pipeline, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the candidate, the field and the new value before it lands in CATS.

Nothing in CATS is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the candidate exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Can the candidates pass run every Monday?

Yes.

Saved as a routine, the CATS candidates pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.

The recruiting playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of hiring admin, the CATS candidates sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
