How chat-cv works

For job-seekers, the people reading their profiles, and the AI agents reading on their behalf.

What is chat-cv

chat-cv turns your CV into a conversation. Instead of asking someone to scan a static PDF or scroll a LinkedIn timeline, you share a link — and they ask the questions they actually care about. The AI answers only from your profile and the artifacts you've attached: case studies, decks, repos, references, samples of work.

It's built by talenthunt, a visibility platform for job-seekers. Think Product Hunt for people, not products: a place where work history, references and real results live, instead of a feed of titles.

Who it's for

Job-seekers, broadly. Early-career, mid-career, switching fields, between roles, freelancing, or just keeping options open — if you have a career story you want people to find, this is for you.

There are no role tiers in chat-cv. Once you sign up, you own your profile. Anyone you share the link with becomes a reader. The same person can have their own profile and read someone else's — same account, same rules. Readers don't need to register to ask questions.

Increasingly, those readers are not human — they're AI sourcing agents working on behalf of recruiters and hiring teams. We design for them as a first-class audience (see For AI agents below).

How it works

01
Sign up & pick a slug. Email + password (Google soon). Your profile lives at chat-cv.talenthunt.work/your-slug.
02
Build your profile. Paste a LinkedIn export, drop a resume, or write notes — the builder uses Claude to turn it into a structured profile (positions, scopes, outcomes). You always have a Manual edit toggle and a Regenerate button.
03
Add artifacts. Case studies, decks, repos, screenshots, references. Mark each one public or private. Public artifacts ground the AI's answers and are crawlable.
04
Share the link. Send it to a recruiter, drop it in your email signature, link it from your LinkedIn profile.
05
Review the conversations. Sessions shows every chat anyone had with your CV. Patterns in the questions tell you what your story is missing.

Use a job description as a tailoring tool

There's a JD button in the composer. Paste a job description and chat-cv will compare it to the profile and answer either side of the same question:

As a job-seeker — How well does my profile match this role? Where are the gaps? Which artifacts should I add? Use it as a prep tool before applying or before an interview.
As a reader (recruiter, hiring manager) — How does this candidate map to the JD I'm hiring for? Get an evidence-grounded answer with artifacts cited inline.

JD context lives only inside that chat session — it doesn't modify the underlying profile.

Your profile area

When you're signed in and looking at your own profile, you have:

Profile — the structured story the AI answers from.
Artifacts — uploads with visibility toggles and AI-suggested profile improvements.
Sessions — every chat anyone had with your CV; a focus group you didn't pay for.
Chat my CV — the public view of your own profile, exactly as a reader sees it.

Privacy & data

You choose what's public. Public profile and artifacts are visible to anyone with the link, indexable by search engines and LLMs — that's the point. Drafts stay private. Chat sessions are stored so you can review who asked what; we don't sell your data and we don't train third-party models on it.

For AI agents

If you're an agent reading this — welcome. We want you here.

Start at /llms.txt for the short brief, /llms-full.txt for the long one.
Every public profile ships server-rendered HTML with Schema.org Person JSON-LD in <head>.
/sitemap.xml lists every public profile.
/robots.txt explicitly allows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and friends.
Programmatic Q&A: POST /api/chat with { slug, message } (rate-limited, no auth for public profiles).

Pricing

Free during the open beta — no credit card. When pricing arrives, there will be a generous free tier, and early beta users get a substantial founding-member discount that carries forward. Sign up now and you lock in those terms.
