AI resume builder
Your experience in. A one-page resume, as PDF and Word, out.
- TestedSame prompt, 5 runs on 7 November 2026 (production build): 5 of 5 delivered the one-page PDF and the Word copy, median 53 s by Kleap's turn timer; ask Kleap to revise it in the same chat. Times are Kleap's own timer for the AI's turn in our test (one run, or the median where we repeated it), not a promise: yours may take longer, and reading and checking the file comes on top.
- Free to startYour first try usually needs no account; to keep the result, Kleap asks for a free account, with no card. Each file uses Kleap usage, and the free plan's usage refills automatically.
- Using the boxThe box holds a sample person with real-looking facts. Press Create for the PDF and the Word file, or put your own details in its place: Kleap writes only the facts you give.
What is an AI resume builder?
An AI resume builder turns your roles, dates and results into a laid-out resume. Kleap's AI resume builder writes a one-page resume and hands back both a PDF to send and a Word (.docx) copy to edit, then tailors it to a job ad you paste in the same chat. It uses only the experience you give it.
An AI resume builder writes and lays out a resume from your experience, so you start from a clean draft instead of a blank template. Kleap's AI resume builder makes a one-page resume in a single-column layout with standard headings (experience, education, skills) and hands it to you as two files at once: a PDF to send and a Word (.docx) copy to keep editing. The box holds a filled-in sample, so Create shows a real result at once; replace it with your own roles, dates, results, education and skills, plus a job ad to tailor the wording, and Kleap asks for anything missing. It uses only the facts you give: no invented employers, dates or numbers. It does not score your resume against an applicant tracking system, and it has no template gallery: the strength is a plain, readable file made from your own words. Need a resume website instead of a file? Use the resume website builder.
Resume, tailored resume or resume website?
This page makes the file a recruiter downloads: one page, standard headings, a PDF to send and a Word copy to edit. Paste a job ad in the same chat and Kleap tailors the wording to it, then lists under the file which of the ad's keywords the resume names and which it does not. It does not add experience you did not give, and that list is a word check, not an applicant-tracking score.
For a page recruiters open from a link, with your projects and a contact form, use the resume website builder. For the photo on it, the AI headshot generator works from one picture you attach.

See what this prompt creates
Real output of the prompt in the box above, generated with Kleap on 7 November 2026, rendered from the delivered file. Not a mockup. From the prompt in the box, unchanged, Kleap returned two files in one turn (45 s by Kleap's turn timer; a sixth run of the prompt, made for the follow-up below, not picked): a one-page PDF and a Word (.docx) copy. The page holds the name and one contact line, a two-sentence Summary, then Experience with three jobs, each with its dates, the company's context and three or four bullets that pair what Maya did with its result (sign-ups +40% in 18 months, cost per lead $180 to $95, MQL-to-SQL 18% to 31%, traffic 20k to 85k visits a month), then Education, Certification and Skills on three lines (marketing, platforms, languages). 234 words, every one from the Details line: no result, number or employer was added. The person is fictional.
What we checked in the delivered file
- 1 page in the PDF and 1 page in the Word copy (opened in LibreOffice); 234 words in the PDF (pdftotext).
- Every number in the PDF is in the prompt, written as the prompt writes it ($400k, $600k, 20k to 85k): 9 years, 120 staff, 40% in 18 months, $180 to $95, 18% to 31%, a team of 3, 2 launches, 60 articles, 1,500 to 9,000, 12 case studies, 40 events, $50,000, the years and the phone number.
- 0 [to fill in] markers: the prompt gave the contact line, the summary, the three jobs with their context and results, the degree, the skills, the certification and the languages.
- Same prompt, 5 runs on 7 November 2026: 5 of 5 returned the PDF and the Word copy, one page each.
- Job-ad follow-up (chat 139439): Kleap's check reads 13 words and 2 thresholds from the ad. The first resume writes 8 of the words, the tailored PDF 12, all but fintech, which Maya's facts do not include and Kleap did not add; its 9 years and team of 3 meet the ad's 7+ years and lead 2 (the check's unit test runs on this PDF's stored text).
- Re-run on 8 Nov 2026 with this check live (new project, chat 139607, production build): the list under the tailored PDF named 9 of the 13 words (not fintech, pipeline, reporting or product-led) and compared 9 years and "leads 3" with the ad's 7+ and lead 2. Each tailoring words the resume differently, so read the list each time.

What happened next
Real follow-up messages sent in the same chat as the example above, on a production build with a test account. Kleap kept the project, so each change was one more message, not a new start. One run each, timed by Kleap's turn timer.
You:
Tailor it to this job ad and give me the tailored PDF. JOB AD: Senior Demand Generation Manager, Ledgerly (fintech SaaS, remote, US). You own the pipeline target with sales; run paid search and LinkedIn programs; build Salesforce and HubSpot reporting; lead 2 marketers; experience with product-led trials and lifecycle e-mail; B2B SaaS, 7+ years.
Kleap: A tailored one-page PDF in the same chat, and under it Kleap's list of the ad's keywords (a word check, not an ATS score). On 7 Nov that list counted the ad's "7+ years" and "lead 2 marketers" as if the resume wrote them; it writes "9 years" and "a team of 3". Kleap's check now lists only words the file writes and compares the two thresholds. For this PDF: 12 of the ad's 13 words are in it (demand generation, SaaS, pipeline, paid search, LinkedIn, Salesforce, HubSpot, reporting, product-led, trials, lifecycle e-mail, B2B), fintech is not; 9 years meets the ad's 7+, a team of 3 meets its lead 2. The first resume wrote 8 of the 13 words. The summary now leads with the ad's words (pipeline growth, paid search, LinkedIn programs, product-led trial onboarding, Salesforce and HubSpot reporting) and the skills add pipeline growth and marketing reporting. Employers, dates and numbers are the ones you gave, and fintech was not added. Read the new summary before you send it: words like pipeline and reporting now describe work you gave in other terms.

How we tested the AI Resume Builder, and when to use something else
How this page was tested
- The box holds a full sample career; we sent it as written.
- We checked both files: a one-page PDF and a one-page Word file.
- Every employer, date and number in the PDF was matched to the prompt: none was added.
Good for
- A clean one-page resume from your own career facts
- A Word copy you can keep editing for each application
- Rewriting duties as short result lines
Use something else for
- An ATS score: Kleap's job-ad list says which of the ad's words the file writes, nothing more.
- Dozens of templates to browse: you get one clean layout.
- A personal site to send instead of a file: build a resume website

A resume that is easy for people and software to read
A good resume is short, concrete and easy to scan. Kleap writes yours in a plain single-column layout with a clear order, dated roles and achievement-focused bullets, which keeps the file easy to read for a recruiter and for the applicant-tracking software many employers use.
It can only use the experience you give it. Provide real roles, dates and results, and paste the job ad if you want the wording tailored. Read the finished file carefully: you are the one who has to stand behind every line in an interview.
Questions, answered.
How do I make a resume with Kleap?
Type or paste your experience in the box at the top of this page and ask for a downloadable PDF or Word file. Kleap writes the resume and shows the download in the chat.
Can it tailor the resume to a job ad?
Yes. Paste the job ad in the same chat and ask for the tailored file. Under the new file, Kleap lists which of the ad's words the resume writes and which it does not, and compares the ad's years and team size with yours: in our test, 12 of 13 words, all but fintech, and 9 years and a team of 3 against the ad's 7+ and lead 2 (a re-run on 8 Nov 2026 wrote 9 of the 13 words: each tailoring differs, so read the list each time). It is a word check, not an ATS score, and Kleap does not add a skill you did not give; it may ask whether you have it.
Will it make up experience or results?
It works from what you give it. Tell it to use only your details, and read the result to remove anything that is not accurate. You are responsible for what your resume claims.
Is the layout friendly to applicant tracking systems?
It uses a plain, single-column structure with standard headings, which is the format those systems read most reliably. No tool can promise how a given employer's software will parse a file.
Can I get a PDF and a Word file?
Yes. Ask for both in the request and the two files appear in the chat.
How is this different from a resume website?
This page makes a resume document you can send. If you want a personal website with your resume online, see the resume website builder, or ask Kleap to build one from the same details.
Does it work for a CV outside the US?
Yes. Say the country and the format you need, such as a European CV with a different order, and note anything that should or should not be included.
Send your resume today, not next week.
Share your experience and download a clean resume as a PDF or Word file. It uses only the facts you give, on one page unless you ask for two.
