Build Your Resume With AI, From Your Real Experience
A resume is only as good as what you remember when you sit down to write it. We build yours from a record of your real work: your roles, the projects you shipped and what changed because of them, turned into bullets you can stand behind.
Already have a resume and a job in mind? Tailor your resume to a job description instead.
How It Works
1. Start from what you have
Import an existing resume (PDF, DOCX or text) or your LinkedIn history, or add roles by hand. It becomes a structured career profile you can edit.
2. Add the wins a resume forgets
Log accomplishments under the role where they happened. Coaching questions pull out the specifics, and AI STAR rewrites wait for your approval before they replace anything.
3. Generate the resume
When you apply, paste the job description and we build the resume from your diary for that role, reordered and reworded, nothing invented. Export it as PDF or Word.
What makes it a builder, not a template
One record, many resumes
Your diary is the source. Every resume you generate draws on it, so you update your history once instead of editing five copies of the same document.
AI suggestions you approve first
STAR rewrites and profile-assistant changes appear next to your original, and nothing changes until you accept it.
Grounded in what you did
The AI works from your diary: it rephrases and reorders, and it does not add employers, dates, metrics or skills you never gave it.
Free to start
The diary is part of the free plan. AI actions use daily credits: 5 a day on a free account, 50 on Pro ($9 a month or $59 a year).
Frequently Asked Questions
How is an AI resume builder different from a resume template?
A template gives you a layout to fill in. Here you record your history once, in a career diary, and the resume is generated from it, so the words come from your own record rather than from a blank page.
Can I build a resume from scratch, without an old one?
Yes. Add your roles, education and skills by hand, then log accomplishments under each role. Coaching questions help you recall the specifics you would otherwise leave out.
Can I tailor the resume to a specific job?
Yes, and that is the usual next step once your diary has something in it: paste a job description and we tailor your resume to it. Our page on tailoring your resume to a job description walks through a worked example.
Is it free?
Yes, to start. The diary and resume building are on the free plan. Tailoring uses daily credits: 5 a day on a free account, 2 without one. Rewriting a diary entry uses none. Pro is $9 a month or $59 a year for 50 credits a day.
