why i built tailorpilot

every application used to mean the same routine: the job posting open in one tab, an ai tool open in another, my cv open in a third, and twenty minutes spent bouncing between all three trying to get a rewrite that didn't sound like it was lying about what i'd actually done.

the tools that actually got it right, the ones that checked their own output instead of just generating something plausible, cost more a month than i could justify paying just to apply for jobs. so i built the thing i actually wanted: something that lives right where the job posting already is, tailors the cv there, and never invents experience i don't have.

bring your own api key means the cost stays close to zero, because you're paying the ai provider directly, not paying a markup for a wrapper around someone else's model. that's tailorpilot: built by someone who was doing this the hard way and got tired of it.
