Can AI replace Rezi?
The core loop is small enough for a capable coding agent to produce a useful local version in one sitting. For Rezi, build ATS-friendly resume variants from a verified evidence bank and export PDF. The hard boundary is templates, scoring, ai workflow, document rendering, and hosted convenience, plus data, distribution, and coaching.

02Could AI build it for you?
The core job: Build ATS-friendly resume variants from a verified evidence bank, tailor them to a supplied role, keep every claim traceable to the user's own evidence, and export PDF.
What a working version needs:
- local browser
- resume and job-description files
- optional OpenAI API key
Editorial comparison targets the Pro plan and a personal job-search workspace DIY substitute. Recheck price before merge.
03What you'd give up
- templates, scoring, AI workflow, document rendering, and hosted convenience
- proprietary recruiter data
- job-board distribution
- human coaching
- automated application networks
People still pay for Rezi because people pay for convenience, curated guidance, and distribution; the personal tracking and drafting loop is highly buildable. The recurring cost buys document parsing, truthful claim handling, job-source changes, browser automation rules, privacy, model drift, and user review, not just the visible interface.

Paste this into an AI coding tool (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable or Replit) to build your own version.
Build a personal replacement for Rezi in an empty repository. Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, SQLite, Drizzle ORM, and an optional OpenAI API; do not offer alternative stacks. The core loop is: build ATS-friendly resume variants from a verified evidence bank, tailor them to a supplied role, keep every claim traceable to the user's own evidence, and export PDF. Make the first run work locally with one documented command. Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward. Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials. Create a structured evidence bank for roles, projects, skills, dates, metrics, and source notes. Import a job description and highlight requirements without inventing missing experience. Generate a tailored resume variant only from approved evidence and show the source for each bullet. Add application stages, contacts, tasks, dates, notes, documents, and a follow-up view. Provide interview-question practice with answer notes and a self-review rubric, not deceptive live assistance. Export resume data as JSON and PDF plus the application tracker as CSV. Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs. Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path. Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps. Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane. Deliberately leave out automatic mass application. Deliberately leave out fabricated qualifications or deceptive interview assistance. Deliberately leave out proprietary recruiter databases and guaranteed job outcomes. Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used.
