Using AI in the builder

The Agent card on the right of the builder works on the resume you have open. It suggests edits as cards you accept, skip or ask it to rewrite. Nothing on your resume changes until you accept a suggestion. The card can also score your resume against a job post and run a Resume check, a general review of the whole resume.

​

Open and close the Agent card

On a wide screen the card is open on the right of the canvas.

• Select Minimise agent panel in the card’s header to fold it into a narrow Agent strip. When suggestions are waiting, the strip says how many, for example Agent, 3 edits to review. Select Expand agent panel to open it again.
• Press ⌘ . on a Mac or Ctrl . on Windows and Linux to open or close it.
• On narrower screens the card opens over the canvas. Select Agent in the canvas header to open it, and Close agent panel to close it.
• On a phone, open the … (Resume actions) menu in the header and select Agent.

​

Tailor your resume to a job post

With a job post attached, the agent scores how well your resume matches it and focuses its suggestions on what the post asks for. Select the requirements chip on the job card, for example 9 of 11 requirements, to see which of the post’s requirements your resume covers and which are missing. To change the post, open Agent options (the … button in the card’s header) and select Use a different job post. Remove job post takes it off the card.

​

The match score

Match is a score from 0 to 100 for how well your resume covers the post’s requirements. While suggestions are waiting, an arrow shows where the score would go if you accepted all of them. Each suggestion card also shows its own estimate, for example +6 pts. After you accept or undo suggestions, Hiresweep scores the resume again. When you edit the resume yourself, the score is marked out of date: select Refresh match score to score it again. A score is reused until the resume or the waiting suggestions change.

​

Ask for a change

Type in the box at the bottom of the card, which says Ask the agent for a change, and press Enter. Ask for one specific change at a time, for example “Rewrite my summary for a senior frontend role” or “Tighten the bullets in my most recent job.” When the box is empty, starter buttons fill it with a request you can edit before sending: If a section is open in the Edit panel, its name appears as a chip under the box and your message is sent as being about that section. Select the × on the chip to leave the section out. The agent only rewords, reorders and tightens what your resume already says. It doesn’t invent employers, numbers, skills or dates, and it doesn’t change your template, colors or fonts. When a missing fact would make an edit much stronger, it asks you instead, with answers you can pick.

​

Review suggestions

Each suggestion is a card under the agent’s reply. It names the part of the resume it changes, shows the current text and the proposed text, and gives a one-line reason. On the canvas, waiting suggestions show as tracked changes, with removed text and added text marked. Select Show removed text to see every removed word on the page. On each card:

• Accept writes the change to your resume. Press A while the card is focused.
• Skip dismisses the card. Press S while the card is focused.
• Rewrite asks the agent for a different version. Say how it should change, or pick Shorter, Keep my numbers or Stronger verb. Each rewrite uses one AI action.
• Select the location at the top of the card to see the change on the resume. Selecting a highlighted change on the canvas brings its card into view.

When several suggestions are waiting:

• Accept all accepts every waiting suggestion at once. The button shows how many, for example Accept all 3.
• Rewrite all bullets asks the agent to rewrite every experience bullet for the job, with stronger verbs and clear outcomes. It appears when suggestions touch your experience, projects or volunteering.
• On a phone, a bar above the message box offers Accept all and Review, which scrolls to the first waiting card.

After you handle a card, a short line stays in the chat in its place, such as Accepted: Summary edit or Skipped: Summary edit.

​

Undo an accepted suggestion

Accepting shows a message with Undo for a few seconds. Select it to put the old text back. Undo doesn’t work if you have edited that text since you accepted the change.

​

Out-of-date suggestions

If you edit a part of the resume after the agent suggested a change to it, the card says Out of date: this part of the resume changed after the suggestion was made. Choose one:

• Rewrite for current text asks for a new version based on the resume as it is now.
• Apply anyway writes the suggested text over your newer text.
• Skip dismisses it.

​

Run a Resume check

A Resume check reviews the whole resume, not tied to one job, and gives you an overall score, strengths and what to fix. If the check fails, the link says Check failed · Retry. Select it and try again. Use the results as guidance. The best resume still depends on the job, the industry and who reads it.

​

Chats

Each resume keeps its own chat with the agent. From Agent options:

• New chat starts a fresh conversation for this resume.
• Open in Agent opens this chat in the full-page Agent workspace.
