Installation

Prerequisites

• Ruby 3.4.5 — Install via rbenv or mise before running setup
• AI Provider API Key — Jojo supports all providers available through RubyLLM (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, etc.)
• Search API Key (optional) — For web research capabilities:
  • Serper API key, or
  • Tavily API key

Install Jojo

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/grymoire7/jojo.git
   cd jojo
   

2. Run the bootstrap script:

   ./bin/setup
   

   This installs Ruby gems, npm packages, and checks for optional system dependencies (pandoc and wkhtmltopdf for PDF export — offering to install them if missing). It then runs the configuration wizard to set up your API keys and preferences. See the configure command for details on the configuration wizard.

Jojo uses AI providers to generate application materials. Actual costs vary based on:

• AI provider and model selection
• Length of your resume and job description
• Amount of research content generated
• Number of projects in your portfolio

See your provider’s pricing page for current rates.
