Fix lines with Otto

Otto asks for the missing fact, then writes the line from your answer. He never makes up numbers, and you keep, edit or skip every suggestion.

Portfolio · hosted for you

A real portfolio, live at your own link.

Not your resume as a web page. Pick one of eight designs and Otto fills it with your projects, work, writing and links. We host it, so there's nothing to set up. It comes with Pro.

  • Navy

    Dark navy page with numbered sections, job tabs and big featured projects.

  • Paper

    A warm paper page: halftone initials, numbered sections, a bookshelf, a live clock.

  • Folio

    A short intro, big project tiles, where you worked and your writing.

Make my portfolio

What Otto won’t do

  • Make up a score.

    You get clear checks with reasons, not a mystery number out of 100.

  • Invent your numbers.

    Otto asks for your real numbers and results, and you approve every change.

  • Charge you to download.

    Edit and download as many PDFs as you like. No paywall at the last step.

  • Keep your file.

    We read your upload to get the text, then let it go. Your resumes stay in your browser unless you sign in to back them up. How we handle data

Before you start

Is it really free to download?
Yes. Editing, recruiter checks and PDF downloads are free, with no paywall at the last step. Pro and Max add Otto's AI help, more formats, more resumes and Word downloads on top.
What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system: the software most employers use to collect and sort applications. It reads the text in your file, and fancy layouts can scramble it. Otto shows you exactly what it reads.
Will Otto invent things on my resume?
No. Otto asks you for facts, like numbers and results, and only uses what you tell him. You review every change before it goes on your resume.
Do I need an account?
Not to check, edit or download. Backups need a free account: sign in with Google or an emailed 6-digit code, no password. Otto's AI help, the full list of job matches (Free shows your closest 5) and tracking more than 1 application come with Pro: try it free for 3 days, then $15/month.
Where is my data stored?
Your resumes are saved in your browser. If you sign in, we also keep a backup so you can open them on any device. We read uploaded files to get the text, then let them go. Details are in our privacy policy.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel your plan from your account page whenever you like. You keep it until the end of the period you paid for, and you aren't charged again.
Does it work for any job?
Yes, from your first job to senior roles, in any field. Tailoring works with any job post you paste in. Otto reads resumes written in English best.
