Not on a Mac? Hire with Hotfix in Claude or ChatGPT or on the web.

​
What you need

  • A Mac with Apple silicon, on macOS 13 or later.
  • A Claude or ChatGPT plan of your own. Hotfix runs your agent on it, and the usage counts against that plan, not against Hotfix.
  • A company on Hotfix and a seat on its team. The app doesn’t create a company, so start on the web: create your company with Start free, or join from a teammate’s invite.

​
Set up Claude or ChatGPT

Hotfix doesn’t come with an AI of its own. It runs the tools Anthropic and OpenAI publish, signed in with your account. Set up at least one. Open Hotfix, go to Settings > AI, and click Install next to Claude or ChatGPT. Hotfix runs the maker’s own installer (Anthropic’s for Claude Code, OpenAI’s for Codex), then opens the sign-in in your browser. You don’t need Terminal. If you’d rather install them yourself, paste one of these in Terminal (in Applications > Utilities):
Then click Sign in in Settings > AI, or Check again if Hotfix still says one isn’t set up. You can also sign in from Terminal with claude auth login or codex login. You can set up both and pick one per conversation. Hotfix never asks for your Claude or ChatGPT password and never sees it. See Your Claude or ChatGPT.

Check your plans

Open Settings > AI. Claude and ChatGPT each say whether they’re signed in, with how much of your plan is used.

​
Who gets in

After you sign in, the app sends you where the web would:
  • No company yet, or no plan: finish setup on the web first. See Set up your company.
  • An Interviewer: your interviews are on the web. See For interviewers.
  • A plan that ended: an Owner picks a plan under Settings > Billing on the web.
Each screen has the web page one click away, Check again, and Sign out.

​
Updates

Hotfix checks for a new version every few hours, downloads it in the background, and installs it the next time you quit. What’s new opens after an update. See the changelog.

​
Signing out

Your account menu has Sign out. It ends the app’s access to Hotfix at once. Your conversations stay on your Mac.
