Resume and cover letter help that gets specific
Paste a resume bullet, a job posting, or both. Get rewrites with real verbs and numbers instead of "responsible for" — free, and nobody emails you afterward.
The workflow that actually works
Resume tools love to sell you templates. Templates were never the problem — the words in them were. Here's the sequence that produces a resume a recruiter actually reads, using nothing but the chat box above.
1. Fix the bullets. Paste each dull line and ask for a rewrite with an action verb and a measurable result. "Responsible for social media" becomes "Grew Instagram engagement 40% in six months by moving to a reels-first schedule." If you don't know your numbers, the AI is good at asking the questions that surface them.
2. Tailor to the posting. Paste the job ad and your resume together and ask what to emphasize, what to cut, and which of the posting's exact phrases you honestly qualify for — that last part matters because human and software screeners both scan for the role's own vocabulary.
3. Cover letter last. With the tailored resume in the same conversation, the letter almost writes itself — ask for one that references the company specifically and doesn't open with "I am writing to apply."
One rule throughout: never let it invent. It drafts, you supply the facts, and every claim stays one you can back up in the interview. For the fuller treatment: best AI for resume writing and cover letters with AI.
Then practice the interview
The underrated move: once the resume's done, stay in the chat and rehearse. Paste the posting and ask for the ten most likely interview questions, answer them out loud or in text, and ask for blunt feedback on your answers. It's a rehearsal partner with infinite patience and zero judgment, at the price of zero. Our collection of AI prompts for job interviews has ready-made ones.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free, or free-then-$9-to-download?
There's no download to ransom — you're working in a chat and copying text out. No trial, no premium templates, no "credits." The whole site is ad-supported.
Will it pass ATS resume screeners?
The text it helps you write will — clear titles, standard section names, the posting's own keywords where honest. Formatting is on you: keep the final document simple (no tables or text boxes) in whatever editor you use.
Can it write the resume from scratch?
It can interview you to build one: tell it "help me write a resume, ask me what you need" and answer its questions. That usually beats pasting a blank template, because the questions surface accomplishments you forgot you had.
Is it safe to paste my resume into an AI?
Your resume is a document you're about to send to strangers, so it's on the low-sensitivity end. Still, feel free to strip your phone and address before pasting — the advice quality doesn't change, and there's no account here storing it either way.
Won't my cover letter sound like everyone else's AI letter?
Only if you accept the first draft. Feed it specifics no one else has — the project you'd bring up in the interview, the reason this company — and rewrite the final pass in your own voice. AI for structure, you for substance.
