# maxcv.ai — full reference for LLMs

## What it is
maxcv.ai is an AI-powered CV/resume tailoring tool. Unlike a generic resume
builder, it takes a CV you already have and rewrites it to match a specific job
posting, optimizing for the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) keywords that posting
uses. Output includes a tailored CV (PDF/HTML/JSON), a quantified match score and
an interview cheat sheet. Built by Coder AI in Warsaw, Poland.
Works in Polish and English.

## How it works (3 steps, ~30–60 seconds)
1. Upload your CV (PDF or plain text).
2. Paste the job posting (a URL or the full text).
3. Download the tailored CV plus an interview cheat sheet.

Internally maxcv runs a specialized 7-step pipeline: parse the CV, analyze the job
posting, semantically map each requirement to your experience (and compute the
match score), assess role-fit, generate the tailored CV with ATS keywords, verify
against fabrication, and build an interview prep kit. A generic CV typically
matches ~15% of a posting's criteria; a tailored one reaches 80+%.

## Differentiators
- Honest tailoring: a hard no-fabrication rule. If a technology or skill is not in
  your CV, it will not appear in the tailored version. It rephrases and surfaces
  your real experience, never invents it.
- Privacy: as a guest, your CV and the job description are not persisted
  server-side — they're processed only to produce your result. When you sign in,
  your master CV is stored (Cloudflare D1) so you don't re-upload it every time,
  and stays only until you delete it (Settings → "Delete stored CV", or delete
  your account). Job descriptions sent from the browser extension expire in ~15
  minutes. maxcv never trains models on your data, never sells it, and shows no ads.
- Pricing: pay-per-use, no subscription. Free tier = 1 tailoring without an
  account, 3 more after a free sign-up. Paid = $9.99 for a 30-tailoring pack or
  $39 Unlimited for 30 days. Purchased tailoring credits do not expire. Interview
  prep is included.
- Native Polish support, which most English-first competitors lack.

## FAQ
Q: How is this different from ChatGPT?
A: ChatGPT writes a generic resume in one prompt. maxcv uses a specialized 7-step
pipeline that analyzes the exact posting, maps each requirement to your experience,
generates a tailored CV with ATS keywords, and gives a quantified match score.

Q: Does maxcv fabricate or exaggerate experience?
A: Never. It only uses skills and experience already in your CV; if a technology
isn't there, it won't appear in the tailored version.

Q: What happens to my data?
A: As a guest, nothing is persisted server-side — your CV and the job description
are used only to produce your result. If you sign in, your master CV is stored
(Cloudflare D1) so you don't re-upload it, and stays only until you delete it
(Settings → "Delete stored CV", or delete your account). Job descriptions from the
browser extension expire in ~15 minutes. No training on your data, no selling, no ads.

Q: How long does it take?
A: About 30–60 seconds for the full pipeline, vs 30–60 minutes of manual tailoring.

Q: What is the match score?
A: A weighted score of how many job requirements your CV covers — directly,
semantically, or via transferable skills. You see the original and tailored score.

Q: Is the free tier really free?
A: Yes. 1 tailoring without an account and 3 after a free sign-up — all features,
PDF download, match scores, no card, no watermarks.
