I'm looking for something that takes a CV (e.g. md, pdf, odt, whatever) and a site to the job post as inputs and outputs a CV that is tailored to the requirements listed in that job post, without significantly changing the CV in some way..

I know that LLMs would be best used for such a problem, but the issue is that I don't have such a beefy computer to run an LLM locally.. Maybe there's something out there that doesn't use an LLM? Anything that helps with applying and making sure that the CV is attractive enough to your average ATS, honestly.

perhaps not as automated as you'd like it to be, but i recently made a Bash tool for this purpose:

https://codeberg.org/aketawi/markpiler

instead of rewriting the whole thing each time, I store a selection of "snippets" which detail a particular skill or a background, and then compile a bunch of relevant ones together into a markdown resume, which can later be processed into HTML or PDF.

If this "partially automates" the problem, then it's good enough for me. I think this is as close as close can get to what I'm looking for, I will try this out for sure, thanks!

This is a good starter. I'd been looking at doing something like this with mailmerge on my resume template but I found the frequency I apply for jobs wasn't often enough to bother.
