Show HN: I made a free tool to match CVS to job posts and generate cover letters

I built this tool to help with my own job applications and decided to share it

It uses AI to:

1. Compare your resume against job descriptions 2. Generate tailored cover letters 3. Suggest improvements to your application

No signup required, completely free

I'm sharing it to validate if others find it useful while I have spare AI credits.

May evolve into a product if there's interest

Feedback welcome

This is a horrifying product, but absolutely inevitable, and sadly necessary. It might even be a good business idea.

      Well, a possible consequence of this is a) my AI spews out resumes and cover letters to the HR AI; b) the HR AI then summarizes and scores my resume and cover letters (possibly, ironically, attempting to determine if it was AI generated); c) the AI agent invites me to submit some work on an AI generated test; d) I get my AI to produce an AI generated answer to their AI generated test....

      and so on. That is The Horror.

      Necessity, because AI generated or not, we're likely going to hit HR departments that are AI augmented or perhaps nearly all AI with some outsourced humans to review anomalies. So this becomes necessary if we want to compete with all the other job seekers.

        I agree. We are spewing out AI generated stuff out there which is then again swallowed back by AI to train.

        This tool does two things for now, one is to rank/score resumes based on job description, and another is to generate cover letters. I am beginning to ponder if generating cover letter is morally right or wrong. Regarding the first part, it's just recommendations and suggestions, the AI doesn't go and generate a resume for you, so I believe that's alright.

          I see no problem with an AI generated cover letter, fwiw.

          I use an AI generated template for my cover letters :-D
