CVisionary
An AI-powered resume builder that creates professional resumes in minutes. Features include AI-generated content, real-time preview with auto-save functionality, and print-to-PDF capability for instant downloads.
Project Overview
Understanding the problem, approach, and solution
CVisionary revolutionizes resume creation by combining AI-powered content generation with real-time preview and auto-save functionality. It helps job seekers create compelling resumes with immediate visual feedback and automatic data persistence.
Creating professional resumes is time-consuming and frustrating for job seekers. Traditional resume builders lack AI assistance, real-time feedback, and users often lose work due to lack of auto-save functionality.
I developed an AI-powered platform that generates tailored resume content with real-time preview updates and automatic saving. Users can see changes instantly and never lose their work, with print-to-PDF functionality for immediate downloads.
