The question
Why do talented people still struggle to explain themselves clearly?
A weak CV can make a serious person look unserious.
I kept seeing people with real ability present themselves badly, not because they had nothing to offer, but because they did not know how to shape their experience into something clear.
FastCV started from that frustration.
What it does today
FastCV is live at fastcv.shop. You paste a job post, scholarship call, or program brief, and it shows a match score, the keywords you are missing, and rewritten bullets that stay inside what you actually did.
- 23 templates in one editor, with content carried over when you switch
- Single-column, machine-readable layouts aimed at Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and Taleo
- Match scoring against any posting, run in the browser before you sign up
- Ten interface languages, one account
- ATS-clean PDF export, A4 and US-Letter
Where it runs
The editor is one surface out of four. The same account works across:
- Web editor at fastcv.shop
- Telegram bot at @FastCVAIBot, see FastCV Chat
- Chrome extension for capturing a posting from the page you are on
- MCP server at
mcp.fastcv.shop, so Claude and ChatGPT can use FastCV as a tool inside a conversation
Pricing
Free to build and tailor. $5 once per resume for the ATS-clean PDF, with unlimited re-downloads and template switching after that. A $12/month Pro tier covers unlimited exports and version history for people applying often.
What surprised me
CV writing is partly a confidence problem. People undersell themselves because they do not know what counts, or oversell because they think that is what a CV requires, and the scoring has to push both groups back toward what they actually did.
What I learned building it
Structure did more than templates. Users who switched between the 23 layouts kept getting the same feedback until the content underneath changed, which is why match scoring runs on the text rather than the design.
The one test I can speak to first-hand: I used FastCV on my own application to the MS in AI Engineering at Quantic and won a full scholarship, Class of 2027. I wrote about that in I built a resume tool. Then I used it to get into grad school.
Traction
The numbers I can speak to first-hand are from my own account, which is also the account I use to test every change:
- 28 resumes created, the first on 22 April 2026
- 14 cover letters created
Aggregate usage across all accounts is not published yet. This section gets updated as real figures become worth quoting.
