Isha, the Opportunity Desk Agent, understands the selected role and can explain or trigger the next step. JB Coach turns that work into a visible readiness checklist you can inspect and verify.
Use the Agent for conversation and action. Use Coach to see what is complete, what needs checking and what comes next.
The relationship
The Agent and Coach share the selected application context. They serve different purposes, so you can talk naturally without losing the discipline of a reliable checklist.
Ask questions, request a review or tell Isha to run the next step. Isha can use the role, your full profile, saved files, form plan and Coach state.
Coach shows the current role’s gates in order. It separates work in Opportunity Desk from work on the employer’s application page.
Inside Opportunity Desk
The fictional workspace below shows the selected role on the right, Opportunity Desk preparation on the left and the Agent available throughout.
Start correctly
The selected role anchors the advert, company, deadline, documents, profile evidence, portal and current checklist. Confirm the title and company at the top of Coach before running any action.
Select the exact opportunity you intend to work on. If you have similar roles at one employer, verify the vacancy title and reference.
Coach should show the employer and role you selected. If it does not, reselect the application before filling or attaching anything.
Start with “What should I review next?” for a quick, grounded answer from the checklist.
Using the Agent
Isha can answer a focused question, inspect the current application state or trigger a supported step. A request to prepare an application follows the gates in order rather than jumping straight to documents.
Use this when you want a fast answer from JB Coach rather than a broad analysis.
Isha can explain why a gate is incomplete, what evidence supports the role score or what still needs human confirmation.
Say exactly what you want run. Isha can open the role, pull the advert, score it, build documents, run ATS, open Review, read the form or apply the fill plan where the workflow allows.
Turn on Agent voice to speak one turn, hear Isha’s reply and continue hands-free. The conversation still uses the selected role and Coach context.
A triggered action is recorded as triggered until its workflow finishes. Check the updated role, file, form or portal before treating the gate as complete.
Using JB Coach
Coach has two sides. The left covers evidence and preparation inside Opportunity Desk. The right covers the live employer portal and submission record.
The full role text is attached to this record.
Verified against the live source and full profile.
Run Score and inspect its cited evidence.
Build, test and approve the exact files.
The Agent can sign in with an applicable saved portal record.
Read every page, question and attachment slot.
Approve, fill, save, reload and verify.
Complete the final review and preserve confirmation.
Reading the states
Coach should never claim completion simply because an action was opened or queued.
Opportunity Desk has the required record, file, score or verified gate.
Open the suggested action, inspect the result and mark manual gates only after checking.
Ask Isha to handle a supported portal or preparation step, then verify the outcome.
End-to-end example
This pattern works whether you are beginning a role or returning to a partly completed application.
Isha reads the selected role’s Coach checklist and names the first incomplete gate.
Isha triggers the mapped action, such as Score, Build docs, ATS check, Review or Read form.
Read the evidence, document, answers or filled fields. Correct anything incomplete or unsupported.
Confirm the gate changed only when the required evidence exists. Manually tick verification gates only after the real-world check.
Complete final human review, explicitly approve submission, and save the confirmation or application number afterward.
Useful prompts
You do not need special commands. Specific requests produce clearer, more reviewable actions.
What should I review next?Return the next incomplete Coach gate.
Run the next step.Trigger the mapped Opportunity Desk action.
Why is this application not ready?Explain every remaining gate.
Check this role against every profile tab.Run the full grounded role scan.
Review these documents for this role.Check relevance, facts, format and filenames.
Read the whole form and prepare the answers.Capture fields before filling the portal.
Control and trust
Pause only where your identity, consent or an unknown fact is required.
Routine, reversible work already supported by Opportunity Desk.
Decisions or controls that must remain yours.
Troubleshooting
Stop and reselect the correct application. Confirm Coach shows the same title and company, then ask again.
Open the resulting page or file and verify the workflow completed. A triggered or queued action is not automatically evidence that the gate passed.
Re-open the live advert or application page, repeat the relevant check and update the canonical role record. Live evidence takes priority over an older saved result.
Check whether the blocker is MFA, CAPTCHA, an email code, identity verification or an unknown declaration. Complete that human step, then ask Isha to continue from Coach.
Isha and JB Coach work best when every action stays attached to the correct application record.
