The story (paste-ready)

Three paragraphs that drop into an article without rewriting. Click Copy on whichever paragraph you want.

Paragraph 1 — what it is

Tailored is an AI resume system that tailors a candidate's CV to any specific job description in roughly 60 seconds. Built around a per-bullet impact scoring model, a rule-based recruiter heatmap simulator, and a Smart Tailoring workflow that proposes 5-8 minimal targeted edits per job, the product targets active job seekers who apply to multiple roles per week and who feel the friction of rewriting the same resume from scratch each time.

Paragraph 2 — what's different

What distinguishes Tailored from established competitors like Resume.io, Novoresume, or Kickresume is its deterministic safety layer. Every AI tailoring proposal passes through five server-side validation guards — stale-path, no-op, fabricated-date, fabricated-number, and fabricated-proper-noun — before reaching the user. If the model attempts to insert a metric, date, or company name not present in the source resume or job description, the proposal is silently rejected. The methodology is published in plain English on the product's own guide pages, including the eye-tracking studies that ground the heatmap and the calibration anchors behind the scoring rubric.

Paragraph 3 — pricing + tier strategy

Tailored ships a substantial free tier intended as the product, not a teaser: every user gets the full editor, bullet impact scoring, recruiter heatmap, job-URL auto-fetch, ATS scoring, PDF and DOCX export, 20-version history, and 5 AI credits on signup without entering a payment method. Paid tiers — one-time credit packs from $0.99 or recurring Pro Monthly ($19) and Pro Annual ($149, 14-day trial) — exist for users who'll burn the credits. The founder describes the pricing posture as a deliberate counter to the "trial-that-renews-and-hopes-you-forget" pattern common in the category.

Founder quotes (attributable)

Both are on the record. Attribute to Gor Mikaelyan, Founder, Tailored.

Short quote (for tweet or pull quote)
Most resume tools compete on template variety. We compete on whether the AI will lie to you. That's the actual product question for anyone who's used these tools.
Long quote (75 words, for article body)
I rewrote my own CV fourteen times last year for fourteen different jobs. By the end I realised the work isn't writing the resume — it's the rewriting. Existing AI tools either gave you generic templates or wrote fabricated metrics into your bullets. We built Tailored around a different guarantee: five deterministic safety guards check every AI proposal before it reaches you, so the model can never invent a metric, a date, or a company name that isn't already in your resume. That's the headline feature, not a footnote.

Boilerplate

The “About Tailored” paragraph that lives at the bottom of every article. Updates each launch milestone.

One-line description (for tickers, intros)

Tailored — AI resume system that tailors a CV for every job in 60 seconds, with five safety guards that stop the AI from fabricating facts.

About Tailored — full paragraph

Tailored is an AI resume system that tailors CVs to specific job descriptions in 60 seconds, with five deterministic safety guards that prevent the AI from fabricating dates, metrics, or company names not present in the source resume. The product offers a free tier with unlimited use of the editor, per-bullet impact scoring, a recruiter heatmap simulator, and job-URL auto-fetch, plus Pro plans at $19/month or $149/year. Tailored is available at https://tailoredapply.com.

Three angles for coverage

Pick whichever fits your publication. None is more correct than the others — they're all the actual story.

1. The honesty angle — “AI resume builder that refuses to lie”

The central premise: every AI resume tool that markets rewriting capability has a hallucination problem. Tailoredresponds with five server-side deterministic safety guards (stale-path, no-op, fabricated-date, fabricated-number, fabricated- proper-noun) that filter every proposal before display. Lead with the “30% revenue” example: a proposal containing an invented metric fails the numeric-token check and is silently dropped. Receipts at /guides/how-smart-tailoring-works.

2. The transparency angle — Methodology pages on every AI feature

Three public methodology pages document the rule-based heatmap model (with the Ladders 2012/2018 and Indeed 2021 eye-tracking studies cited), the bullet scoring rubric (with calibration anchors per band), and the tailoring safety layer (with each guard rule explained). The product's comparison pages (/vs/resume-io, /vs/novoresume, and three others) each contain a “When you should choose [competitor]” section — uncommon for an early-stage product. Frame this as the post-AI-bloat counter-trend.

3. The pricing-honesty angle — Free tier as the product

Most resume builders treat their free tier as a preview, gating PDF export or saving behind payment. Tailored ships its entire editor, bullet scoring, recruiter heatmap, job-URL fetcher, ATS check, PDF and DOCX export, and 20-version history for free. The paid surface (one-time credit packs from $0.99 OR $19/mo / $149/yr Pro) buys unlimited AI generation. Includes no auto-renewing trial: the Pro Annual 14-day trial cancels cleanly with nothing charged. Contrast deliberately with the trial-renewal patterns common at category leaders.
