CVCraftAI is a professional, AI-powered CV builder web application designed to help users generate high-quality, ATS-optimized resumes in seconds. The application leverages modern frontend technologies and AI integration to produce multiple CV formats while maintaining performance, privacy, and usability.

The project demonstrates practical use of AI APIs, form validation, client-side processing, and PDF generation within a real-world career-focused application.

Core Features

  • AI-Powered CV Generation
    Uses the OpenAI API (GPT-4o-mini) to generate three professionally written CV variations based on user input.
  • Multiple CV Templates
    Automatically generates:
    • Professional (corporate-focused)
    • Concise (one-page, minimal)
