Every AI resume tool gets the core problem wrong. I built a different one in a week, launched it to 50 people, and 9 signed up.

I was job searching when I built this. Still am, actually.

Every AI resume tool I tried had the same problem. You upload a resume, paste a job description, and it tailors from there. But the output is only ever as good as what you put in. You still have to know which experiences to highlight, which to cut, how to frame what you did. The AI optimizes your choices. It doesn't make them for you.

Most people don't have one perfect resume sitting around. They have several, each written for a different moment. Plus a LinkedIn profile, cover letters, project write-ups, decks, performance docs sitting in Google Drive folders they haven't opened in years. All of it adds up to a career picture that no single document captures. And none of it is available to any tool they're using.

So I built PatchWork around that reality. You upload everything you have. It builds a master profile from the whole pile, then generates a targeted resume for any role you're going after, pulling the right experiences from across your actual history. You stop deciding what to include. It finds it.

I shipped it in about a week and launched with no audience behind it. 50 people came, 9 signed up. I've been staring at that 18% long enough to feel reasonably confident the product isn't the problem. Reach is. I don't have the funds to put advertising dollars behind it, so I'm going way out of my comfort zone and trying to promote it because I really believe it's a better tool than others out there.

If you're actively job searching and have real opinions about where these tools fail you, I want to hear from you. Not looking for cheerleaders. Looking for people who will use it hard and tell me where it breaks. Or people who can give me tips on how to gain traction without unlimited funds.
