Cake AI Resume Checker helps job seekers improve their resumes based on real job descriptions. With in-context editing and ATS-focused feedback, you can optimize your resume—and generate a matching cover letter—in minutes.
I’m Trantor Liu, CEO of Cake—a job search platform helping over 8 million users across APAC and beyond.
Today, we’re excited to launch Cake AI Resume Checker — a tool designed to help job seekers optimize their resume and cover letter with targeted, AI-powered suggestions based on the actual job they’re applying for.
🔍 Here’s what you can do with it: - Edit directly within your resume (no copy-pasting) - Get clear suggestions across structure, tone, content, and skills - Track your improvement score as you go - Instantly generate a tailored cover letter
Cake AI helps job seekers take back control of their job search—especially those who are early in their career, switching industries, or just unsure how to navigate ATS systems.
✅ Try it free with 5 scans/month (logged-in)
🎯 We’re here for feedback—tell us what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d love to see next
Congrats on the launch! Love how you’re making resume improvements faster and more aligned with real job descriptions. How do you see the cover letter generator fitting into most people’s job search workflow?
@shengkun_ye Thanks! We see the cover letter generator as a way to remove friction at the early stage of job applications. While not every company requires a cover letter, having a tool that can instantly adapt someone’s experiences to a specific role makes it easier for candidates to tailor their applications without starting from scratch. In most people’s workflow, it works as a complement to the resume—something they can generate quickly when needed, and refine for positions where a more personalized touch really matters.
@cwlin Thanks so much! We’re excited about this launch and confident it’ll help applicants stand out with less stress 🚀
Report
As someone actively applying for marketing roles, I found Cake AI Resume Checker really helpful. Instead of just pointing out grammar or formatting, it gave me feedback on clarity and how well my resume highlights achievements, which is exactly what recruiters care about. It also saved me a lot of time compared to tweaking my CV manually. Definitely a tool I’ll keep using while polishing my applications. 🚀 Good tool

Congrats! Can you share what specific customization options are currently limited in Cake AI Resume Checker, and are there plans to expand these features for more personalized reports and resume templates?
@vouchy Thanks for asking! Right now, Cake AI Resume Checker comes with a clean, ATS-optimized layout that works well across most applications. We’ve been hearing great feedback on design customization, and we’re excited to roll out more flexible, ATS-friendly layouts soon so everyone can tailor their resumes even further. 🚀
This is really neat, Makes me wonder, how does Cake AI handle unconventional resumes or creative industries where standard structures don’t always fit?
@musa_molla Great question! 🙌 Cake AI Resume Checker is built on an ATS-friendly foundation, but it also helps highlight impact, clarity, and skills in unconventional resumes. For creative industries, we’re exploring more flexible layouts to balance design with ATS readability.
