# 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, a
cover letter 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, DOCX or text).
2. Paste the job posting (a URL or the full text).
3. Download the tailored CV plus a cover letter and interview cheat sheet.

Internally maxcv runs a specialized 6-step pipeline: parse the CV, analyze the job
posting, map each requirement to your experience semantically, generate the
tailored CV with ATS keywords, verify against fabrication, and compute a match
score. 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: your CV and the job description are processed in memory and immediately
  discarded. maxcv does not store documents, does not train models on them, and
  does not sell data.
- 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
  (valid 30 days) or $39 Unlimited for 30 days. 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 6-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: Nothing — your CV and the job description are processed in memory and
immediately discarded. No storage, no training, no selling.

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.
