Summary
autoResume is an open-source resume builder and TeX editor that leverages AI to streamline resume creation by importing achievements from professional links and tailoring content to specific job descriptions. Users can manually edit resumes in a code-like interface and generate polished PDFs in real time. This tool demonstrates how AI can simplify and personalize professional document creation, reducing manual effort and improving customization.
A new opportunity pops up, but your resume is hopelessly out of date. You copy content from LinkedIn, dig up old projects from GitHub, and try to remember what you actually accomplished at your last job. Then comes the formatting Word, Google Docs, endless font tweaks, and still, it never looks quite right. And if you want to tailor your resume for a specific job? That’s another evening gone. I built autoResume because I was tired of this cycle. I wanted a tool that made resume building as easy as pasting a link or dropping in a job description. With autoResume, you can: Paste your professional links (GitHub, personal site, LinkedIn) and instantly pull in your achievements. Edit manually when you want full control, with a clean, code-like editor. Let AI help polish, update, and even tailor your resume to specific roles, just paste the job description.
