Of reading and tailoring the posting, done for you in one run.

Skills to learn

Named and ranked, so the time saved has somewhere to go.

Cover letter

Tailored in the same run, same tone as your CV.

It's not just a CV rewrite

The same run that tailors your CV also scores your fit against the actual posting and names the skills the job asks for that aren't on your resume yet. That's a study list, not a verdict. The time you'd have spent tailoring goes into closing those gaps instead.

Senior Backend Engineer — mid-size fintech

STRONG MATCH

Why you match

4 years of production Python on your resume
Led a team of 3 engineers at your last role
Owned on-call for a customer-facing service

What to learn next

No Kubernetes on your resume (the posting lists it as required)
No direct payments/fintech domain experience

That's the fifteen to twenty minutes of reading and tailoring done for you, so all that's left is actually applying on their site. The gaps it names are the ones worth putting that time into next.

How it actually works

No dashboard to learn, nothing to configure. Right now, this is a person on the other end.

Resume and job posting received
CV and cover letter tailored to the posting
Every claim checked against your background

Create a free account

Add your resume once, then paste in whatever job posting you're applying to. It tailors fresh each time. That's the only setup step.

We tailor your CV and cover letter

Rewritten against that specific job description, not a generic keyword pass.

Every skill and tool claim gets checked first

If a technical claim doesn't match your real background, we flag it and tell you before you ever see the final document.

Why the fact-check matters more than the writing

Most CV tools optimize for keyword-matching an applicant tracking system. That's the easy problem. What actually matters in the room is whether every claim on the page holds up under a follow-up question. Try it. Here's exactly what you'd see before a document reaches you:

"...led infrastructure work including Kubernetes deployment and CI/CD pipelines, while managing a team of 12 engineers across three time zones..."

Flagged: needs your review Your resume doesn't mention Kubernetes anywhere. This claim isn't supported by anything in your background.

Flagged: needs your review Your resume lists a team of 4, not 12. This overstates what's on your background.

Right now this catches invented skills and tools: the check we built first because it's the fastest way an AI rewrite quietly puts words in your mouth. Dates, titles, and metrics are next.

Why I built this

I had the education and the skills the jobs actually asked for.

The rejections weren't the hard part. Never finding out why was. A missing skill? Not enough experience? Or a filter that decided before a single human read what I sent?

All I got was an automated email, or silence when I asked for feedback. I kept guessing why, but did it all again tomorrow.

Twenty, thirty applications a week, twenty to twenty-five minutes each to read the job description, rewrite the CV, rework the cover letter, hunt for the words they wanted to hear. That was my evening. Every evening, with no energy or time left over for anything else.

So I started building the pipeline. Not a product. Just a script to buy back my own evenings.

It failed a lot at first, not because my code was bad, but because of fabricated claims it kept adding to my CV and cover letter. The failure that stopped me cold: a generated cover letter claimed I had experience with protocols I'd never touched. It read perfectly. That was what made it dangerous. And it was the opposite of everything I built this for. I wanted to stop being invisible, not to become someone else on paper.

So I built a fact-check that cross-references every specific claim against what's actually in your profile. I didn't trust it with my own applications until it had caught every fabrication I threw at it. I kept testing and fixing it until nothing false got through. The rule hasn't changed: it will never say something about you that isn't true. It gets you a strong, honest draft in a minute. The final check stays yours, the way it stayed mine.

I built this out of the same frustration you might be feeling right now.

The questions worth asking first

You're about to hand a stranger your resume. Here's what happens to it. Every answer below is what our privacy policy actually commits to, not marketing language.

Do you train AI models on my resume?

No. We don't use your data to train any AI model, and we don't sell it. Your resume is used to generate and check your own documents, nothing else.

Can I delete everything?

Yes. Request account deletion and you get a 30-day grace period (log back in to cancel it), after which your personal data is permanently erased. The exception is records we're legally required to keep, like transaction history for tax purposes.

Who else can see my documents?

Only the processors that run the service: an AI provider for generation, Stripe for payments, Resend for email. Our primary database is hosted in the EU. The full list and what each one handles is in the privacy policy.

What happens if the fact-check is wrong?

You overrule it. Every flag has a "confirm this is true" option that sends the claim as written. The check stops you to ask; it never edits your document on its own or decides what's true about you.

Does this actually get me past the ATS?

We won't promise that, because nobody honestly can. What we do is tailor your CV to the posting's actual wording and make sure every claim on it holds up. What an applicant tracking system does after that isn't something we control.

Is my card safe?

We never receive or store your card number. Stripe handles payment entirely. Passwords are hashed with Argon2id and never stored in plain text.

Pay for what you use, nothing else

A job search runs for weeks, not forever. No monthly subscription that outlives your search.
