Customize your resume for any Job description in less than a minute

📄 Overview

As part of my self-learning journey into AI and automation, I built a custom AI agent to automate a time-consuming task I personally faced — tailoring my CV to different job descriptions. What started as a solution to my own frustration quickly became a demonstration of how AI can be used for real-world productivity gains.

❌ The Challenge

Applying for jobs often requires tailoring your CV to each role, which:


  • Takes hours per application

  • Involves repetitive formatting and rewriting

  • Leads to burnout during long job search periods

  • I wanted to see if I could create a fully automated workflow that:

  • Receives a job description

  • Generates a custom CV tailored to it

  • Sends the CV directly to the applicant’s email

💡 The Solution

  • I built an AI-powered automation system using:

  • Tally Forms to collect user details (personal info, experience, job description)

  • Make.com to process form submissions and trigger actions

  • OpenRouter API to access a large language model that rewrites and tailors CV content

  • Gmail automation to send the generated CV back to the applicant

How it works:

  1. User fills out a Tally form with their details and uploads a job description.

  2. Make.com receives the form response and sends it to the OpenRouter AI model.

  3. The AI tailors the CV content to match the job’s requirements.

  4. The tailored CV is formatted and sent via Gmail automation to the applicant.

👨‍💻 My Role

I designed, built, and tested the entire system:

  • Created the form and user flow

  • Integrated Tally with Make.com

  • Wrote AI prompt engineering instructions for consistent CV outputs

  • Connected Make.com to OpenRouter API

  • Configured Gmail automation for delivery

  • Tested multiple AI models for output quality and reliability

📈 Results

  • Reduced CV tailoring time from 1–2 hours to under 2 minutes

  • Created a reusable automation that works for any job description

  • Improved personal job application workflow and saved hours per week

  • Served as a practical learning project for AI + automation integration

🧰 Tools Used

  • Tally – User input form

  • Make.com – Automation workflow

  • OpenRouter API – AI text generation

  • Google Docs & Gmail – Output formatting and deliver

💬 Final Insight

This project reinforced my belief that AI isn’t replacing skilled professional, it’s enabling them to work smarter. By integrating AI models with automation tools, repetitive and draining tasks can be eliminated, freeing up time for high-value work.
