Warm, never cheesy
Plain British English, short replies, no hype and no emojis unless you start it.
Your own careers person who's always awake. She knows your profile, your deadlines and every firm on your list, and she never makes things up.
Who she is
Think older sister who works in careers.
The one who knows how this all works, tells you straight, and actually has time for you. Ivy lives inside Intake, so she already knows your profile, your tracks and your deadlines. You never have to explain yourself twice.
One question at a time
She never fires a list at you. She asks one thing, listens, then asks the next.
Honest when she doesn't know
If a detail isn't in what Intake knows, she says so. She's an AI, and she'll tell you that too.
Ivy in action
Five things she's brilliant at.
01 · Your profile
Tell her about you, however it comes out.
Grades, a part-time job, a club, a project. Mention it in passing and Ivy suggests adding it to your Brain. Nothing goes in until you tap keep.
got a 7 in maths gcse and im predicted an A in further maths
Nice, both of those are worth having on file. I've added them for you to check.

A-level Further Maths · predicted AKeep
02 · Programmes
Ask about any programme. Get facts, not vibes.
She answers from what Intake actually knows about each firm. If a detail isn't there yet, she tells you she doesn't know rather than guessing.
what does the jp morgan tech apprenticeship actually involve
It's a Level 6 degree apprenticeship. You'd study Digital and Technology Solutions with Exeter while working in London or Bournemouth. Want me to track it?
Technology Degree ApprenticeshipJ.P. Morgan · L6 · London, Bournemouth
Track03 · Deadlines
She notices when something opens.
When a programme you're tracking opens, Ivy offers to start a draft. She never drafts anything you didn't ask for, and she never does the countdown thing.
Goldman Sachs' Engineering Apprentice Programme just opened, and you're tracking it. Want me to start a draft?

04 · Practice
She gets you practising the right thing.
Got an online test or a video interview coming? Ivy knows which provider each firm uses and sets up practice for that exact format.
ive got a barclays online test next week
Barclays uses SHL. Want a quick numerical practice now? It's free.

Start05 · Stories
She turns what you did into stories you can use.
Describe something you did and she asks one short follow up at a time until it's a proper STAR story, in your words, ready for any application.
i trained the new starters at my cafe job
That's a great leadership example. What was the hardest part of training someone?
getting them fast on the till without stressing them out

STAR
Or just call her
Talk it out. Out loud.
Some things are easier to say than type. Call Ivy, ramble a bit, and she'll confirm what she heard before saving anything. It's also the best warm-up before a real interview.
- Confirms before she saves: “So that's an A in Maths, predicted?”
- Short spoken answers, no lists read out at you
- No audio recordings are ever kept

Hey Sam. Want to go through your Saturday job for the Lloyds application?
yeah, I've been at the café about two years now
Nice. So that's two years at the café, alongside sixth form? I'll add it for you to check.
yep. I trained the new starters as well
That's a really good leadership example. What made you good at training people?
Ground rules
What she will, and won't, do.
She will
- Suggest things for your profile, for you to keep or remove
- Help shape what you did into STAR stories, in your words
- Answer questions about programmes from real data
- Offer a draft when a programme you track opens
- Set up practice for the exact test or interview you've got
✕She won't
- Make up facts about you, a firm or a programme
- Exaggerate what you did
- Submit an application, sit a test or contact anyone for you
- Ask about nationality, health, religion or family income
- Pressure you with countdowns or guilt
If something sounds like a safeguarding worry, she responds with care, points you to a trusted adult, and shares Childline (0800 1111) and Samaritans (116 123). She doesn't record it.
