I built a tool to auto-tailor resumes to job posts

In plain words

useResume is a tool that automatically tailors resumes and cover letters to specific job postings. It's designed for job applicants who want to customize applications more efficiently without spending time manually editing documents in Word. The tool reduces the typical ten-minute customization process per application, enabling users to apply to more opportunities with personalized materials rather than generic submissions.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN, I got frustrated with the time-consuming process of tailoring resumes and cover letters for job applications. Even using ChatGPT, it was taking me about 10 minutes per application just to prompt and copy-paste everything into Word. I found myself only customizing applications for roles I was really excited…

  The idea is actually quite simple - as a coder watching my pregnant girlfriend spend hours reading job descriptions and researching companies while job searching over the past few months, I thought there should be an app that reads the job description and researches the company like a human would from a job URL to write personalized cover letters + resume tips to modify your resume. So I made one - it uses advanced browser automation (like Manus), and you can actually watch the AI in real-time as it researches. For anyone interested, you can check it out at --> trylockedin.app and let me…

  I’m excited to share my second SaaS project, RankResume (https://rankresume.io), following my first launch, IdeaPulse (https://ideapulse.io). As a job seeker, I was frustrated by the constant need to tweak my resume for each application to get past ATS filters and to land the first phone screen. I built RankResume to tackle that problem by letting you upload your resume and provide a job description or URL which it then generates a tailored resume and cover letter that highlights the most relevant skills and keywords for that specific opportunity.

  I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam▲1,581

  I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…
