The toolkit
Everything a hiring manager wants.
Nothing they hate.
Most CV builders give you a text box and hope. VITAE gives you an editorial team, a typesetter, and a very strict ATS auditor.
AI that writes like you, on your best day
Bullet points rebuilt around strong verbs and real numbers. Summaries tuned to your target role. Skills suggestions pulled from thousands of real job ads. One tap, and "responsible for filing" becomes "owned a filing system that cut audit prep 40%."

Grew social audience 12k to 85k in 9 months and drove 31% of product signups
Live ATS score, fixed live
Eight weighted checks: contact block, impact language, keyword depth, length. Recomputed as you type, with exact fixes.
Templates with taste
Four designs actually worth wearing, from Swiss minimalism to executive charcoal. Switch anytime; your content follows.
A real PDF, not a screenshot
True selectable text, embedded fonts, perfect A4 margins. Parsers read it cleanly, because we render it like a print shop.
Bring your old CV
Drop in a PDF, DOCX, or paste text. AI extracts every role, date, and skill into the studio, then upgrades it.
Private by architecture
Your CV lives in your browser, not our database. There is no account, no tracking pixels, no resume-selling. Text is only sent to the AI model when you press an enhance button.
The wardrobe
Dress your experience
for the job you want.
Same content, four personalities. Every template is typeset on a true A4 grid with print-grade typography.

The recruiter classic. Single column, bulletproof parsing.
The ritual
Four minutes,
three moves.
Talk or drop
Answer sharp, human questions, or throw in the CV you already have (PDF, DOCX, or paste). Everything autosaves in your browser.
AI does the heavy lifting
Summaries drafted, bullets sharpened, skills matched to your target role. You approve every word; nothing is added without you seeing it.
Download & apply
Pick a template, check your ATS score, export a print-perfect PDF. Send it. Get the call. Optionally frame it.
The auditor
Beat the robots.
Then charm the humans.
75% of CVs are filtered out before a person ever reads them. VITAE scores yours against the same signals applicant tracking systems look for, and tells you exactly what to fix.
Keep the whole CV between 350 and 850 words (roughly one strong page to two).

“I uploaded a CV I was embarrassed by and downloaded one I bragged about. The AI summary alone got me two recruiter DMs on LinkedIn.”

“The ATS score is brutally honest and weirdly addictive. Fixed every red bar, applied to 12 roles, heard back from 5. That has never happened to me.”

“It reads like it was typeset by a magazine. I paid a "professional service" $200 last year for something worse than what this built in four minutes.”

Fair questions
Asked & answered.
Yes, completely free while we are in beta. No account, no credit card, no watermark. When paid tiers arrive later, you will hear about it long before anything is locked.
Three concrete things: single-flow reading order a parser can follow, standard section headings it recognizes, and real selectable text (never an image or weird table soup). Our Meridian and Ivory templates are the safest; Aurora has a dedicated ATS mode that collapses to one column.
In your browser only. Local storage, autosaved as you type. Export a JSON backup anytime. Nothing touches a server except the text you explicitly send to the AI enhance buttons.
VITAE talks to OpenRouter, so the model is configurable. This build ships with z-ai/glm-5.3-flash: fast, sharp, and cheap to run. You can swap in any model on OpenRouter with one environment variable.
That is the whole point. Upload PDF or DOCX, or paste text. AI extracts roles, dates, education, and skills into the studio, then you polish from there.
Under 10 years of experience: one page, no debate. The length checker will nudge you before you drift into a two-pager nobody reads.
