AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One approved template set and one target job description per application; final factual and tone checks remain with the candidate or coach. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Candidate intake and target role, Editable document preview, Review and delivery. Use a thumbnail gallery for candidates and applications, a large central editing canvas, and a right-hand panel for job description, template, section guidance and comments. Let users compare resume and cover letter versions side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a shareable preview link with comments anchored to the relevant section. Make the task-specific outcome candidate-approved application package linked to the target posting visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Candidate ownership, document versions, reviewer comments, approval states, template allowances, revision limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Candidate-owned work history, authorized job postings and permitted reference material. Cloud document storage, template import/export and job-board destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

1. 1

   Scoping call

   Day 1

   Thirty minutes on your process, your data and how you want to run it: for your own team, or for your clients. You get a fixed scope and price for the MVP.

2. 2

   MVP

   7 days

   One buyer segment, one recurring use case; first modules: capture work history, titles and achievements in structured fields; generate first-draft resume content from supplied candidate facts. Manual review in the loop. Built by our AI software factory.

3. 3

   Paid pilot

   8 days

   Accounts, roles, review states, audit trail and the first integration, hardened for two to three paying pilot customers.

4. 4

   Full product

   3 weeks

   Self-serve onboarding, billing, monitoring and the wider integration set.

5. 5

   Run and improve

   Monthly

   We host, monitor and improve it for a fixed monthly fee, or hand it over to your team. How the retainer works.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will job seekers, career coaches and outplacement teams producing application documents at volume use it to solve "application documents are assembled across several rented tools, so content, formatting and job-specific tailoring drift apart and no one owns the reviewed final version"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted application packages per coaching hour and corrections after candidate approval.
4. Measure, then decide. Track accepted application packages per coaching hour and corrections after candidate approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One approved template set and one target job description per application; final factual and tone checks remain with the candidate or coach. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: capture work history, titles and achievements in structured fields; generate first-draft resume content from supplied candidate facts. Support the third module with operator review: tailor content to a supplied job description. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.

After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around the candidate-approved application package linked to the target posting. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved template set and one target job description per application; final factual and tone checks remain with the candidate or coach.

What the build depends on. Document upload and preview, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist career-services QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One approved template set and one target job description per application; final factual and tone checks remain with the candidate or coach.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined candidate package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex outplacement or specialist review separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded candidate-approved application package linked to the target posting. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.

Message to test

Produce reviewed, job-tailored resumes and cover letters in one owned workspace. Demonstrate a concrete candidate-approved application package linked to the target posting using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Job seekers, career coaches and outplacement teams professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample candidate-approved application package linked to the target posting from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted application packages per coaching hour and corrections after candidate approval and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five job seekers, career coaches and outplacement teams and inspect a recent example of application documents assembled across several rented tools, so content, formatting and job-specific tailoring drift apart and no one owns the reviewed final version.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure accepted application packages per coaching hour and corrections after candidate approval, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.

Paid pilot

Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted application packages per coaching hour and corrections after candidate approval. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.

Success metrics

Accepted application packages per coaching hour and corrections after candidate approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs a candidate-approved application package linked to the target posting. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.

Why clients would pick it

A reusable library of approved templates, section guidance and reviewer corrections, together with reliable delivery for a narrow career-services niche. Build a permissioned library of representative application cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for job seekers, career coaches and outplacement teams. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

Kickresume, ResumAI, Resume.co, Nanonets Resume Builder and ResumeUp 2.0, plus freelancers and generic document tools. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted application packages per coaching hour and corrections after candidate approval. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Generation attempts, document processing, storage, reviewer hours, candidate revision rounds and licensed template assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of the candidate-approved application package linked to the target posting. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve candidate voice, source attribution, factual accuracy and usage permissions. Candidates approve substantive changes and submission scope. One approved template set and one target job description per application; final factual and tone checks remain with the candidate or coach. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
