The AI

What the AI does — and what it won’t

It does the tedious part, reading your CV into an editable draft, and then helps only where you ask. You stay in charge of every word.

Reads your CV for you

Upload a PDF or Word file and the AI sorts it into an editable draft: roles, education, skills and languages. You check and correct every field.

Rewrites only what you ask

Ask for stronger bullet points, a clearer profile or a version tailored to a job ad. The coach suggests; you decide what goes into your CV.

Told not to invent facts

It’s instructed never to invent employers, numbers or qualifications. Where a figure would help, it leaves a placeholder like [X%] for you to fill in.

Example conversation Illustration with placeholders, not real results

You

Can you make this bullet stronger? “Responsible for onboarding new clients.”

AI coach

Here’s a more active version:

Onboarded [N] new clients and cut their set-up time by [X%].

Replace [N] and [X%] with your real figures, or drop what doesn’t apply. I won’t guess them.

You

Set-up went from 10 days to 6.

AI coach

Then use your numbers:

Onboarded new clients and cut their set-up time from 10 days to 6.

Things you can ask

  • Improve my summary
  • Stronger bullet points
  • Tailor my CV to a job ad
  • Which layout suits me?
  • Write a cover letter opening

The coach replies in the language you write in. AI can make mistakes, so check each suggestion before you use it.

YourCVy’s AI runs on Claude, a model made by Anthropic. YourCVy is independent and not affiliated with Anthropic.

How to improve your CV with AI

UK & Europe

Made for UK and European applications

CV conventions differ across Europe. YourCVy covers the details that matter, from photos to paper size.

European Classic CV layout: photo at the top left, contact details beside it, dates in a column next to each role, and language skills with CEFR levels
European Classic, one of 18 layouts, shown with a sample CV on A4
  1. A photo only if you want one

    10 of the 18 layouts have a photo slot. Leave it out for the UK and Ireland; add one where it’s still common, such as Germany.

  2. European Classic

    A traditional continental format: photo top left, a dates column and optional details such as date of birth, nationality, work permit and availability.

  3. Headings in 7 languages

    Set section headings in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch or Portuguese. Your own text stays exactly as you wrote it.

  4. CEFR language levels

    List languages with levels such as German (C1), the Council of Europe scale used across Europe.

  5. A4 or US Letter

    A4 for the UK and Europe, US Letter for North America. Switch at any time before you download.

Privacy

Your data, in plain English

A CV says a lot about you. Here is exactly what happens to it.

  • We don’t keep your CV

    YourCVy has no database and doesn’t save CVs on its servers.

  • Read by our AI provider

    To read your CV and run the coach, its content is sent over HTTPS to Anthropic’s API in the USA. Anthropic doesn’t use API data to train its models and deletes it automatically, within 30 days under its current policy.

  • Your draft stays in your tab

    It lives only in your browser tab and disappears when you close the tab.

  • No tracking

    You pay on Stripe’s checkout page, so your card details go to Stripe, not to YourCVy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else? Email hello@yourcvy.com.

How much does YourCVy cost?

Uploading, the AI draft, the editor, the AI coach and previews in every layout are free. Downloading your finished CV as a PDF costs €5 once per CV. That’s the final price, with no subscription and no account.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no sign-up and no login. Your draft stays in your browser tab until you close it, so download your PDF before you close the tab.

Which files can I upload?

PDF or Word (.docx), up to 10 MB. Older Word .doc files can’t be read: open the file in Word, choose File › Save As and pick Word Document (.docx) or PDF, then upload that.

What happens to my CV?

To read your CV and run the AI coach, its content is sent over HTTPS to Anthropic’s API in the USA. Anthropic doesn’t use API data to train its models and deletes it automatically, within 30 days under its current policy. YourCVy has no database and doesn’t save your CV on its servers: your draft lives only in your browser tab and disappears when you close it. The details are in our privacy policy.

Will the AI make things up?

It’s instructed not to. The AI coach rewrites only what you ask it to, and it must never invent employers, numbers or qualifications. Where a stronger bullet needs a figure, it uses a placeholder like [X%] for you to fill in. AI can still make mistakes, so check every suggestion before you use it.

Which layout is best for online applications?

For job portals and applicant tracking systems (ATS), a simple single-column layout is the safest choice: Centred Header, Academic or European Classic. Clean two-column and sidebar layouts are usually fine too. The most graphic layouts (Creative Block, Tech Terminal, Infographic and Card Layout) are best sent straight to a person. Every PDF includes real, selectable text that applicant tracking systems can read. Our ATS-friendly CV guide explains more.

Should I include a photo?

For the UK and Ireland, usually not: employers there don’t expect one. In some countries, such as Germany and Austria, a photo is still common, though not required. A photo is always optional in YourCVy and only appears in the 10 layouts with a photo slot. See our guide to photos on a CV.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Not happy with your PDF? Email hello@yourcvy.com within 14 days of purchase and we’ll refund you in full. This 14-day money-back guarantee comes on top of your statutory rights. See our refund terms.
