How CVArcade reads and checks your CV

Your file is read once, in memory, and never stored. What the AI pulls out is shown to you with the quote each highlight came from, and nothing goes public until you've checked it.

Upload

Upload a PDF (up to 4 MB and 8 pages), a Word file (up to 4 MB) or paste text, up to about 30,000 characters. English CVs only for now. Reading takes 20 to 60 seconds.

What happens to your file

The file is read once, in memory, and never stored. CVArcade keeps only the details pulled out of it, which you can edit. A draft you don't publish is deleted 30 days after your last edit.

How each highlight is checked

One AI pass returns your roles, skills and links in a fixed format, along with flags. Every highlight it keeps is tied to a quote from your CV. A verifier flags anything it can't trace, and CVArcade never adds content.

What you check

Your details open in sections. A flagged field shows the source quote beside it. You fix what is wrong, hide or reorder entries, and only then build the game. Building makes no AI call and is instant.

Limits worth knowing

A game has 2 to 15 entries. If your CV has more, the extras are merged or left out, and you can restore any that were omitted. After you publish, you can read an updated CV into the same game up to 3 times. Free reads have a daily limit.

Questions

Can I edit what the AI found?

Yes. Every section is editable before you build the game, and again after you publish.

What if my CV isn't in English?

English CVs only for now.

What happens if a read fails?

You get a specific error. If the file was the problem, you can paste your text instead. A failed read doesn't count toward the 3 updated reads included with a published game.
