Key Features

1. Role-Specific Rewrite

   • Users paste their base CV and a target job posting.
   • A Next.js Edge Function calls Google Gemini’s text-rewrite endpoint to inject relevant keywords and restructure bullet points.
   • Latency: ~400 ms per rewrite.
   ts

   // pages/api/rewrite.ts
   import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
   import { generateWithGemini } from '../../lib/gemini';
   
   export async function POST(req: NextRequest) {
     const { text, jobDesc } = await req.json();
     const prompt = `Rewrite my CV text:\n\n${text}\n\nTo match this job:\n${jobDesc}`;
     const aiResult = await generateWithGemini(prompt);
     return NextResponse.json({ rewritten: aiResult });
   }
