Build my resume

Why use ATSPrep instead of asking a chatbot?

A chatbot can write a resume in seconds. It can't check your file, and it can fill gaps with facts that aren't yours. ATSPrep does the parts a chat can't.

Four differences

  • Nothing invented

    Asking a chatbot
    A chat model writes what sounds good. If your line has no number, it can add one.
    In ATSPrep
    Every AI draft is checked against your own lines on our server. A draft that adds a number, name or contact detail you didn't write is dropped. When a figure is missing, you get a blank such as [X%] and a question. How scoring works
  • See what the parser reads

    Asking a chatbot
    A chat reads the text you paste. An applicant tracking system reads your file.
    In ATSPrep
    X-Ray opens your exported PDF with PDF.js, an open-source text extractor, and shows the text that comes back, in order. It doesn't copy one employer's system. It shows where text moves or drops. What we measured
  • A real file to send

    Asking a chatbot
    A chat gives you text to copy into a document. Then you fix the layout yourself.
    In ATSPrep
    The Studio gives you a PDF or Word file with real text, in a layout that parsers read cleanly. Downloads are free and have no watermark. You need a free account to download.
  • Privacy

    Asking a chatbot
    To get help in a chat, you paste all of your resume, with your name and phone number.
    In ATSPrep
    Your file is read in your browser and never uploaded. An AI rewrite sends only the line you improve, with its job title, employer and dates. That text is not stored and not used for training. What each feature sends

Where a chat still helps

A chat is good for ideas, and for practice with a story you want to tell. Bring the facts here when you are ready. The Studio checks each line, the file and what a parser reads.

The rules behind the score are written down in How scoring works. The parsing research publishes its data and code. The privacy page lists what each button sends.
