COMPARISON
my-resume vs Overleaf
Overleaf is a brilliant general-purpose LaTeX editor. my-resume is purpose-built for one job: turning a job description into an ATS-ready, LaTeX-typeset resume — without you writing any LaTeX.
Both produce beautiful LaTeX-typeset PDFs. The difference is focus. Overleaf hands you a blank LaTeX document and expects you to know the language. my-resume gives you the same typesetting quality but adds an AI that tailors your resume to a specific job description, scores your ATS keyword match in real time, and rewrites bullets honestly from your profile — no LaTeX knowledge required.
