The tools
They do not share a draft. A useful order is to write the resume, check it, match a posting, then write the letter.

FAQ
What the tools do, how credits work, and what happens to your resume.
Portfolio Sets is a job-application toolkit built for developers. You can build a resume from scratch, improve an existing one, tailor it to a specific job, and generate a cover letter based on your real experience.
Portfolio Sets currently includes Resume Builder, Resume Roast, Resume Tailor, and Cover Letter Generator. Each tool is designed for a different stage of the application process, from creating your resume to preparing it for a specific role.
No. Portfolio Sets is designed to work only with the information you provide. It can rewrite, organize, and strengthen your wording, but it should never invent employers, skills, technologies, achievements, metrics, or experience.
Resume Roast reviews your resume on its own and points out meaningful problems, weak wording, unclear experience, and areas that could be improved. Resume Tailor takes your resume and a specific job description, then adapts the relevant parts of your resume for that role.
Yes. AI-generated content is always a suggestion. You can review, edit, accept, or ignore changes before downloading or using your resume or cover letter.
Resume content is not permanently stored on our servers. Your information is only processed when needed to generate a result. Resume Builder drafts may be saved locally in your browser so you do not lose your work.
Portfolio Sets is being designed around a pay-as-you-go credit system rather than a monthly subscription. You use credits when you need AI tools during your job search and can return whenever you need them again.
You can use some non-AI parts of Portfolio Sets without signing in, but AI-powered actions require an account so usage can be protected and managed properly.
