Coming Soon: ATS-Optimized Resume Builder

We're building a free resume builder that automatically optimizes for ATS systems. Here's a sneak peek.

What We're Building Next

After launching our keyword matcher, the #1 request was clear: "Can you help me build the resume too?"

We're excited to announce that we're building an ATS-optimized resume builder—and it will be free.


The Problem with Current Resume Builders

Most Builders Prioritize Looks Over Function

  • Beautiful templates that ATS can't parse
  • Graphics and columns that break formatting
  • No keyword optimization built in
  • What Job Seekers Actually Need

  • Clean, ATS-friendly formatting
  • Keyword suggestions as you write
  • Real-time optimization feedback

  • Our Resume Builder Vision

    Core Features (Free)

    1. ATS-Safe Templates

  • Pre-tested against major ATS systems
  • Clean, professional designs
  • Single-column layouts that parse correctly
  • 2. Real-Time Keyword Integration

  • Paste a job description
  • Get keyword suggestions as you write
  • See your match score update live
  • 3. Smart Section Suggestions

  • AI-powered bullet point improvements
  • Action verb recommendations
  • Quantification prompts ("Add a number here")
  • 4. Export Options

  • .docx (ATS-optimized)
  • .pdf (human-readable)
  • Plain text (for copy-paste applications)

  • What Makes Ours Different

    Built for ATS First

    Every design decision prioritizes parseability:

  • Standard section headers
  • Proper hierarchy
  • Clean spacing
  • No hidden text or formatting tricks
  • Integrated with Our Keyword Tool

  • One-click import from keyword analysis
  • Automatic synonym suggestions
  • Role-specific recommendations
  • Truly Free Core Features

    No "free trial" bait-and-switch. The builder will be genuinely useful without paying.


    Sneak Peek: Interface Concepts

    The Editor

  • Left panel: Your resume sections
  • Right panel: Job description & keyword matches
  • Bottom bar: Real-time ATS score
  • Smart Suggestions

    As you type a bullet point:

    "Developed new user authentication system"

    You'll see suggestions:

    💡 Add a metric: "reducing login time by X%"
    💡 Add technologies: "using OAuth 2.0 and JWT"
    💡 Keyword match: "authentication" ✓
