I built an AI that tailors your CV to every job in seconds

2•alebarbon•7h ago
I built Ceeve after going through the job application process myself as a student.

What frustrated me most wasn’t the effort, but the inefficiency—rewriting the same CV over and over, trying to guess what each recruiter actually wanted, and often getting no feedback.

At some point I realized the problem: most people apply with the same CV everywhere, but every job is different.

So I built Ceeve.

It lets you:

tailor your CV to a specific job description in seconds generate personalized cover letters track applications in one place

The goal isn’t to automate everything blindly, but to help people align their experience with what each role is actually looking for.

It’s still early, but it’s already been used by students at Bocconi, Imperial, and LSE, and was recently mentioned by Speedinvest among emerging AI startups in Europe.

I’m trying to understand what actually helps people get interviews vs what doesn’t.

Would love any feedback—especially from people who hire or have gone through recruiting processes.
