The updated terms state that Indeed may automatically draft job application content based on job seeker profile information and preferences. The drafted content may be AI-generated and subject to Indeed's AI-Generated Content Terms in Section D.9 of the General Terms. The agreement continues to establish that job seekers remain responsible for reviewing, correcting, editing, or deleting any drafted applications or application content before submission. You should review any AI-drafted content carefully to ensure it accurately reflects your qualifications and preferences before adopting and submitting applications.

Previously, the agreement described auto-apply activity as a pricing factor; this reference has been removed from the pricing methodology section.
