A note on using AI in your application:
We love using AI in an impactful way. We don't believe everything should be written by AI, and we like to hire real people, not robots. These supporting questions are designed to be quick and easy to answer, without the use of AI.

If you do decide to use AI:

Do feel free to use AI to help spell-check a first draft you've written yourself.

Do be transparent about your use of AI.

Don't paste the question into an AI agent and copy the answer - we want to get to know the real you.
