💡 What You Will Learn

An AI resume builder that is private and free: Reactive-Resume for design, an LLM for tailoring bullet points, and ATS-friendly output.

Recruiters spend 7 seconds on a resume. The open-source AI resume builder helps you pack those seconds: tailored bullet points, clean design, ATS-safe output - all local and private.

The Stack

Reactive-Resume (40,066 stars) is the open-source resume builder - beautiful templates, JSON data model, exports to PDF/JSON. The AI layer: paste a job description and your experience into an LLM via Ollama (177,874 stars), and generate tailored bullet points using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Keep the JSON as your single source of truth - update once, export any format.

ATS Reality

Applicant tracking systems parse text, not design. Use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills), avoid tables and graphics, and keep the JSON export as a plain-text fallback. The LLM writes the bullets; you verify every claim - resume lies are the fastest way to get rejected.

FAQ

Q: Does it work for non-English resumes?
A: Yes - Reactive-Resume supports multiple languages; the LLM tailors bullets in your target language.

Q: How many versions should I have?
A: One base resume, then tailor per application - that is exactly what the LLM step is for.
