## FAQ

**Does Paul replace my ATS?**
For companies that automate end-to-end with Paul — from first contact to start date — a traditional ATS becomes redundant. Paul provides its own interface with full visibility. Enterprises that want to keep their current ATS can integrate all data into the existing system.

**Which AI models does Paul's job use?**
Paul's job uses a wide range of specialized premium models from leading providers, matching the right model to each task. All of them are hosted in Europe, making them GDPR-compliant.

**What is a Paul Credit?**
Paul Credits are the billing unit for every action Paul executes — candidate communication, screening, interviews, or document analysis. Usage depends on complexity and volume.

**What happens when credits run out?**
Paul notifies you in advance. Active workflows are never interrupted. Credits can be topped up at any time.

**How quickly can Paul be implemented?**
Usually within a few days: setup and integrations, defining roles and processes, synchronizing the knowledge base, go-live with the first jobs.

**What is an AI agent?**
An AI that autonomously pursues a defined goal — unlike simple chatbots, which only react to inputs. Paul's agents run candidate conversations, review documents, make screening decisions, and coordinate interviews on their own.

Yes. Paul's job is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001-certified, and EU AI Act ready. All AI models are hosted in Europe, and all AI decisions are transparent, auditable, and reproducible.
