JobSprout is a modern CV and cover letter builder that combines professional typesetting with context-aware AI assistance. After reviewing over 1,000 CVs as a senior engineer, I noticed most looked unprofessional and generic. I built JobSprout to solve this.
Technical Approach
Professional Typesetting
JobSprout uses Typst for document generation – a modern alternative to LaTeX that produces publication-quality typography without the learning curve. This ensures consistent spacing, proper kerning, and professional layouts that parse correctly in ATS systems.
Context-Aware AI
Unlike other builders that only offer full-section rewrites, JobSprout provides granular control:
- Select any text from a single word to entire sections
- Direct specific improvements: length, tone, technical level
- AI Assistant with full document context for conversational editing
- No need to re-explain your background for each edit
Key Features
- Real-time preview with instant Typst compilation
- Drag-and-drop sections for different job applications
- Multiple document versions with shared data
- Import existing CVs and improve incrementally
- Professional templates focused on readability over decoration
- Cover letter generation with matched styling
- Unlimited PDF exports without restrictions
Current Status
Launched December 2025 with core CV and cover letter functionality. The roadmap includes CV scoring, application tracking, and interview preparation based on user feedback.
