Use of AI

How we think about AI in the application process.

We expect candidates to use modern tools thoughtfully. What matters most is whether the work still reflects your judgment, clarity, and ownership.

Application Guidance

AI can support your process, but it should not replace your thinking.

We care less about whether you use AI and more about how you use it. Strong candidates know how to use tools without hiding behind them.

Use AI to sharpen, not disguise
You can use AI to edit, organize, or prototype, but your submission should still reflect your own reasoning and communication.
Be ready to explain your work
If a project, writing sample, or demo involved AI assistance, we may ask how you used it and what decisions you made yourself.
Originality still matters
We value candidates who can turn tools into better outcomes, not candidates who outsource the full thinking process.
Show your judgment clearly
We look for people who can evaluate outputs, make tradeoffs, and improve the result rather than accepting the first generated answer.

What Stands Out

Thoughtful tool use is a positive signal when the ownership is still yours.

We value candidates who can combine strong taste, clear reasoning, and useful tooling into work that is more credible, more precise, and more original.
