Frequently asked questions

• ProductWhat does CVAccelerate actually do?
  CVAccelerate takes your CV and a specific job description, and gives you structured outputs you can review and send: a fit analysis with a match score, tailored summaries and experience bullets, cover letters from a posting URL, interview prep with STAR answers, and polished PDF exports. Everything is grounded in what is actually in your CV — the AI never invents employers, dates, or certifications.
• ProductDoes the AI write the application for me?
  No. The AI accelerates the preparation work — rewording, matching keywords, surfacing gaps — but you stay in control. You always review, edit, and choose what to send. Think of it as an extremely fast editor, not a ghostwriter.
• ProductWhat format should my CV be in?
  Plain text works best. Just copy the content of your CV (name, summary, experience, education, skills) and paste it. No PDF or DOCX upload needed — what you paste is exactly what the model reads.
• ProductWhich languages are supported?
  The UI is in English. Generated outputs support English and Spanish out of the box — you pick the language on each flow. More languages are coming.
• Pricing & creditsIs there a free tier?
  Yes. You get free credits to run a job fit analysis, generate a recruiter message, and export the Classic CV template — no credit card required.
• Pricing & creditsShould I buy credits or subscribe?
  Credit packs never expire — best for casual or episodic use. Pro Monthly gives you 200 fresh credits each cycle plus premium templates and priority models — best if you consistently use more than about 50 credits per month. You can always start with a pack and upgrade later.
• Pricing & creditsWhat counts as one credit?
  One credit is one AI-powered action: a job fit analysis, a tailored summary or bullet rewrite, a cover letter from a URL, an interview prep session, a premium PDF export, or a LinkedIn section audit. The Classic PDF template is always free.
• Pricing & creditsCan I get a refund?
  If something went wrong on our end, yes — email us within 14 days of purchase and we will refund unused credits or cancel a new subscription. Credits that were already consumed cannot be refunded.
• Privacy & dataWhat happens to my CV and the job descriptions I paste?
  They are stored in your private account so you can re-run flows without re-pasting. We never share your content with third parties, never use it to train models, and you can delete your account and data at any time.
• Privacy & dataIs my data used to train AI models?
  No. We call OpenAI with data processing terms that disable training on your inputs. Your CV stays your CV.
• TechnicalIs CVAccelerate open source?
  Not currently. If that changes, we will announce it. In the meantime, you can export everything you generate and take it with you.
• TechnicalAre the PDF exports ATS-friendly?
  Yes. All templates use selectable text (no images or complex columns that break parsers) and standard section headings that applicant tracking systems recognize.
