BulletProof

Paste a resume and a job posting, and get tailored bullets back.

Full brief for BulletProof →
What ships today

The version everyone leaves with.

Two text boxes — paste resume text, paste job posting text. One button. AI returns tailored resume bullets, ready to copy. No PDF parsing, no cover letter, no export.

While you build

Things worth deciding early.

  • 1What you refuse to build is the lesson. Skip the cover letter, the PDF parsing and the ATS scoring.
  • 2Paste the whole job posting, not just the title. The full text is half the prompt's quality.
  • 3Read the bullets out loud. If you would not say them in an interview, the prompt needs work.
The polished version

What the at-home build adds.

  • →Match score and missing keywords
  • →PDF parsing for resume input
  • →Cover letter generator
  • →Interview question generator
  • →Application tracker
Right tool, right job

Two tools. Two very different afternoons.

Neither is the beginner option. It comes down to what's already on your laptop, and whether you want a desktop IDE at all. Four questions, then bring the one that fits.

The shape of the session

Two hours, four movements.

  1. 0:00 – 0:15
    Intro

    Grab a name tag and a slice, say hello to the instructor, and meet the people either side of you — you'll be asking them things later, so it pays to know their names now. Low pressure, high creativity, ship something messy. Then a quick word on what the room is building tonight, and you're off.

  2. 0:15 – 0:30
    Credits & setup

    The instructor shares the Google Cloud credits with the room. Everyone gets their environment ready — whichever tool they brought. Nobody should be installing anything once the build starts.

  3. 0:30 – 1:35
    Build

    Heads down, and enjoy it — this is the part everyone came for. The agent does the typing; you decide what it's making. Ask the room when you get stuck; someone two seats away hit the same wall ten minutes ago. Want more structure? The codelab walks the spec-driven route — Setup → Plan → Review → Build → API → Verify — but nobody has to follow it.

  4. 1:35 – 2:00
    Share & submit

    Show the room what you made — two minutes, screen-shared from your seat. Half-finished is welcome; the wobbly ones are usually the most interesting. Say what surprised you along the way, and cheer for everyone else while you're at it. Then submit your build before you leave. This is the one thing not to skip — it's what puts your name and your chapter on the showcase, and it takes about two minutes.

Add your build

Resume Tailor rewrites your resume bullets to match a specific job description, without making anything up. Paste your bullets and the job posting, and you get your top 3–5 bullets side-by-side, original vs. tailored, each with a one-line "why" and a copy button. It's built for students and job seekers who want stronger bullets without fake metrics. The cool part: a built-in truth checker drops any rewrite that invents numbers or tools that weren't in your original resume.

“The AI that wrote my design docs broke my app's one rule in its own example, inventing a "35%" metric and PostgreSQL for a bullet that mentioned neither. Reviewing the docs turned out to matter more than writing the code.”

BulletProof is an AI-powered resume and job description tailorer designed for job seekers wanting to stand out. Users input their existing resume bullet points alongside a target job posting to instantly generate tailored, impact-driven statements side-by-side. It transforms passive descriptions into quantified achievements aligned with specific role requirements.

“I was surprised by how effortlessly Antigravity structured the FastAPI backend and integrated the Google GenAI SDK while keeping our API keys completely secure through environment isolation. It made moving from initial prompt design to a fully functional REST API remarkably fast.”
