How it works
- Upload and mask
PDF, TXT and MD files are read in your browserRole text: 30 to 15,000 characters. Résumés: 1 to 3, 25 to 30,000 characters eachEmails, phone numbers, street or unit addresses and NRIC/FIN-style IDs are masked before any reader sees your textNames, employers and schools aren't maskedPrompt-injection tricks are flagged and shown to you. The report is then droppedEach résumé is split into passages, one per line or sentence. The best matches are found by word matching, with no embeddingsAll of this runs in both Native scan and API boostNo database, so résumé text isn't storedRead in your browser, with personal details hidden.
- pdf.jsPulls the text out of your PDF in your browser. The PDF file isn't uploaded.It reads the first 20 pages and keeps up to 30,000 characters.It needs a PDF with selectable text. A scan of a paper page won't work.
- Next.jsThe page and its API routes are one Next.js 16 app.Native scan runs in your browser. API boost calls a Next.js route on the server.
- Masking rules (lib/safety.ts)4 kinds of detail are hidden: email, phone number, street or unit address, NRIC/FIN-style IDEach match becomes a tag like [masked-email]Native scan masks in your browser. API boost masks on the server, before the model call5 prompt-injection patterns are flagged: ignore instructions, role override, reveal prompt, invisible characters, long encoded blocks
Personal details masked
Pick one road:
API boost (lib/live-agents.ts)4 agents run in order, each with its own tools and limitsModel: the one you pick. Recommended mix by defaultMasked résumé text goes to the model.

Your key powers the agents. Web search is optional.
- Your API keyPaste an Anthropic key or an OpenRouter key in the Agent power panel.It travels in one request header for that run. It isn't stored or logged.An OpenRouter key also lets you pick other models.
- Firecrawl, optionalOptional web search for Role Scout and Action Planner.It needs your own Firecrawl key. Without one the agents skip the web.
Native scan (lib/simulated-engine.ts)runSimulatedEngine runs the 4 agents in order, in your browserNo model callEvidence points: 20 named, 25 used in a project, 14 number, 16 outcome, 25 second passage. 100 at mostRole priority: High when the posting says required or repeats a skill, Medium when it names it onceNo supporting passage earns 0The Recruiter runs 11 ATS-style checks (lib/ats-check.ts)Free.
