AI CV Builder

Tailor your CV to the job. Keep every claim true.

Paste a job advert and see, requirement by requirement, what your CV can really prove. You get an honest gap report and a recommendation: apply, apply with a note, or probably skip. Your best evidence is moved to the top and only rough lines are reworded, using nothing you did not write.

One free trial tailoring a day without an account. We ask your permission before any of your text goes to an AI model. Log in

Illustration with made-up data. Your result quotes your own CV.

How it works

Three steps, and you stay in control of every one.

  1. Add your CV

    Paste it, upload a PDF or Word file, or answer a few plain questions and we build one from your answers. Nothing is rewritten yet.

  2. Paste the job advert

    We pull out what the employer asks for, separating essentials from nice-to-haves, and check your CV against each one with a quote as evidence. You get a recommendation: apply, apply with a note, or probably skip.

  3. Review, accept, export

    Read the gap report and answer any questions. Your strongest evidence moves to the top, only rough lines are reworded, and you accept or reject each change. No extra credit: the rewrite is part of your analysis. Export as PDF, Word or plain text.

See what the advert asks for, and what your CV can prove

Each requirement gets a status, a quote from your own CV as evidence, and a next step. If we cannot quote you, it is not credited.

Example: Reporting Analyst Example data

Recommendation Apply with a note You can show 3 of the 4 essentials. Line management is only partly shown. The other verdicts are "Apply" and "Probably skip", which asks you to confirm before anything is reworded.

  • Covered a line of your CV shows it
  • Partial related, or at a lower level than asked
  • Listed, not demonstrated named in Skills only, so it earns little credit
  • Missing nothing supports it
  • Covered Essential

    From the CV Reporting Analyst, Mar 2021 to May 2025

    What to do We work out the length from your dates (4 years 2 months). The AI does no date maths.

  • Partial Essential

    Line management of two or more people

    From the CV Trained 3 new starters

    What to do Training is not line management. If you have supervised anyone, tell us how. If not, we leave it out.

  • Listed, not demonstrated Nice to have

    Python for analysis

    From the CV Skills: SQL, Excel, Python

    What to do Python is in your Skills line but no job shows it. Tell us where you used it and we can credit it.

  • Missing Nice to have

    Power BI or Tableau

    From the CV No supporting line found

    What to do Nothing on your CV supports this. If you have used either, add where. If not, a short course would let you add it honestly later.

The advert, the CV lines and the results above are invented to show the layout. Real results quote your CV word for word, and we check each quote really appears in it.

What it will not do

Most CV tools are built to make you sound as good as possible. This one is built to make you sound like yourself, matched to the job.

  • It will not invent experience

    Numbers, employers, job titles, tools, qualifications and dates must already be in what you gave us. A check written in code, not another AI, rejects new numbers and names.

  • It will not make you sound stronger than you were

    "Helped" stays "helped". Mentored is not managed. A second AI model, different from the one that wrote the line, checks every rewrite. Anything it doubts goes back to your own wording.

  • It will not copy the advert's keywords into your CV

    Tailoring puts your most relevant evidence first and rewords only rough lines, in your own terms. It does not mirror the advert's wording or embellish. Skills you list with nothing behind them are marked "listed, not demonstrated", and we ask you rather than quietly crediting or deleting them.

  • It will tell you what is missing

    You get a gap report with a plain next step for each gap, questions about experience you may have forgotten, and a straight recommendation, including "probably skip" when the fit is a long shot. "I don't remember" is always an accepted answer.

  • It will not promise an interview or an ATS pass

    Nobody can. We show how many of the advert's requirements your CV can demonstrate, and a recommendation. That is not a prediction of what any employer's software or recruiter will do.

  • You stay the author

    Every change is yours to accept or reject, and every export reminds you that you are responsible for its accuracy. No checker is perfect, so read what you send.

What happens when a rewrite goes too far Example data
  1. Your lineHelped customers renew their subscriptions. Our team had a retention target.
  2. Draft rewriteOwned the team retention target and led renewals.
  3. CheckOverstated "Helped" became "owned" and "led".
  4. ResultKept your wording The draft is dropped and your own line stays.

What is in the tool

Everything you need to go from one general CV to one that fits each job, and nothing that pads the result.

  • Requirement-by-requirement match against the job advert, with quoted evidence
  • Gap report with a next step for each gap, and a recommendation: apply, apply with a note, or probably skip
  • Tailoring that puts your most relevant evidence first and rewords only rough lines, each traced to a line you wrote
  • One credit covers the whole analysis of an advert: match report, gaps, honest re-order, light clean-up and a rewrite where it helps, with up to 3 free re-checks of the same advert after you edit your CV (signed-in accounts)
  • Import from PDF, Word or pasted text
  • Six single-column templates: Classic, Modern, Compact, Executive, Academic and Technical
  • UK, US and EU conventions for paper size, spelling and date style
  • Export to PDF, Word (DOCX) and plain text (TXT)
  • A saved version for each job you apply for
  • Delete everything, or download your data, from inside the tool

Your CV is personal. Here is what happens to it.

Plain answers to what is sent, what is kept, and how to remove it. The full wording is in the privacy policy.

What is sent, and to whom

  • Only after you agree, the text of your CV and of the advert goes to OpenRouter (United States). It passes each request to a host running an open-weight model from DeepSeek, Z.ai or OpenAI.
  • Before the CV text is sent, your own name, email, phone number and web links are removed wherever they appear. Other people's names are replaced only when they carry a title (such as Dr or Mr) or begin with a common first name. A References section is not sent. We put the removed details back ourselves afterwards. When you import a CV, emails, phone numbers, links and the name words in the first three lines are removed before the model call.
  • Not removed: unusual names, company names, places, postal addresses and everything in a pasted job advert are sent as written.
  • We ask for hosts that do not keep prompts or train on them. Their own policies apply and we do not control them.
  • A scanned PDF or image goes whole to Mistral AI (France) for text reading, only if you consent to that separately. You can paste text instead.

What we keep

  • Without an account: nothing is saved to an account or database for you. While you use the tool, the working results of a run are held in a temporary session on our server, and a cache of advert analyses is kept in temporary files, for up to about a day. A working copy of your CV also stays in your browser until you clear it.
  • With an account: your CVs and versions are stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) until you delete them.
  • Job adverts you add, and our analysis of them, are deleted automatically after 90 days.
  • Our error logs never contain your CV or advert text.

How to remove it

  • Delete everything permanently removes your CVs, versions, adverts and analysis records in one step.
  • Download my data gives you a file of everything we hold for the tool.
  • Withdraw your consent at any time. AI features then stop; your saved CVs stay, and you can still edit, export and delete them.

Analysing an advert uses 1 credit: match report, gaps, an honest re-order and light clean-up, and a rewrite where it helps. It is charged once, when the report is delivered, even if the verdict is a long shot. Not charged: the rewrite step that follows, re-checks, your answers to our questions, live coverage updates, importing a CV, or anything that fails or is discarded. A CV in a language we can't analyse yet gets no report and isn't charged. If you edit your CV afterwards, a signed-in account can re-check the same advert free up to 3 times per analysis; the guest trial gets no free re-checks. A different advert, or the same advert after those 3 re-checks, is a new analysis and uses a new credit. Analysing the same advert with the same CV again within 24 hours doesn't use another credit.

Prices in US dollars. Limits are read from the same table the tool enforces.

Questions, answered straight

Including the ATS myths that most CV tools repeat.

Does it really never make things up?

We built it so that it cannot do so quietly, and we cannot promise it is perfect. Every rewritten line is tied to a line you wrote. Code checks catch many new numbers, names and stronger verbs, a second AI model from a different maker checks for overstated wording, and a stricter second pass runs after that. Anything doubtful reverts to your own words. Our own checks are not a guarantee on every CV, so please read your CV before you send it.

Does it copy the advert's keywords into my CV?

No. Tailoring puts your most relevant evidence first and rewords only rough lines, in your own terms. It does not mirror the advert's wording or add claims. Some tools do that, and it is how invented experience gets into a CV.

Will this get my CV past ATS software?

No tool can honestly promise that. Practitioner sources report that no major applicant tracking system automatically rejects a CV for missing keywords, and that there is no universal "ATS score" (Huntr). The usual automatic filters are knockout questions, such as right to work or a required certification, and people make the decisions. For very busy roles a recruiter may only open the highest-ranked applications, so a CV that is clear and relevant still matters. We do not quote a pass rate.

Is it true that most CVs are rejected by ATS before a person reads them?

It is a widely repeated claim, usually quoted with a precise percentage, and the sources we checked call it a myth: the software parses, stores and ranks, and people reject (ATS Verification). A CV that parses badly or lacks the terms a recruiter searches for can still go unseen, which is why the exports are single-column and text-selectable, and why we show whether your CV demonstrates what the advert asks for.

Do I need every keyword, or a perfect score?

No. Listing words you cannot back up tends to backfire, because recruiters spot keyword walls quickly and ask about them at interview (ATS Verification, Reczee). We only credit a requirement when we can quote a line of your CV that shows it, and a skill that appears only in a Skills list counts for little until you tell us where you used it.

What is "requirement coverage", and how is it different from an ATS score?

It is how many of the advert's requirements your CV can demonstrate, shown requirement by requirement with the evidence we found. It is our own measure. It is not what any employer's software would say, and it does not predict whether you will be shortlisted.

What does the recommendation mean?

After matching, you get one of three verdicts with reasons: apply, apply with a note, or probably skip. It is advice from comparing your CV with the advert, not a prediction. If it says probably skip, you are asked to confirm before anything is reworded, and the analysis still uses its one credit.

What happens when the advert asks for something I have not done?

We tell you. The requirement is marked missing, nothing is added to your CV to cover it, and you get a short, honest next step: add real experience we may not have seen, leave it out, or consider a course that would let you add it truthfully later.

What does one credit buy?

One credit pays for the whole analysis of one advert: the match report, the gap list, the apply or skip verdict, an honest re-order of your CV, light clean-up such as spelling and capitals, and a rewrite where it helps. It is charged once, when the report is delivered. A result that comes back as a long shot is charged like any other, because it delivers the same report. Free: the rewrite step after the analysis, re-checks, your answers to our questions, live coverage updates, importing a CV, and anything that fails or is discarded. A CV in a language we can't analyse yet gets no report and isn't charged. The guest trial is one analysis a day. If you edit your CV afterwards, a signed-in account can re-check the same advert free up to 3 times per analysis; the guest trial gets no free re-checks. A different advert, or the same advert after those 3 re-checks, is a new analysis and uses a new credit. Analysing the same advert with the same CV again within 24 hours doesn't use another credit.

What can I import and export, and what have you not tested?

Import a PDF, a Word file or pasted text. If a PDF is a scan, reading it needs a separate consent because the file goes to an OCR service. You can always paste the text instead. Choose from six single-column templates (Classic, Modern, Compact, Executive, Academic and Technical) and export to PDF, Word (DOCX) or plain text. What we have not tested: how Word or Google Docs display the Word file, how any employer's ATS reads your files, and we do not claim tagged (accessible) PDFs.

Is it set up for UK CVs as well as US resumes?

Yes. Pick UK, US or EU conventions. UK uses A4 and US uses Letter. For UK and US exports we leave out photo, date of birth, nationality and marital status, in line with guidance such as the National Careers Service. The EU option keeps a date of birth or nationality only if you entered them. No photo is ever added.

Is my CV used to train AI models?

We do not use it for training and we do not sell it. When you use an AI feature your text goes to OpenRouter, which passes it to a model host. We ask for hosts that do not keep prompts or train on them, but those hosts have their own policies, which we do not control. The privacy section above lists exactly what is sent and what is not removed.

How much does it cost?

You can try it without an account. A free account includes 2 tailored CVs a month, and paid plans raise that. The plans table above is generated from the same limits the tool enforces.

Paste an advert and see where you stand

No account needed for the first run. If the advert asks for something you have not done, we will say so.
