Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Retold.

What is Retold?+
Retold is an AI-powered job search companion. You upload your resume, paste a job description, and in about 30 seconds you get a version restructured for that role — with keyword match scoring and ATS analysis. Beyond tailoring, Retold tracks your applications, keeps you motivated with streaks and achievements, and monitors your search health.
How does AI resume tailoring work?+
Retold uses Claude (Anthropic's AI) to analyze the job description, extract key requirements and keywords, then restructure and rewrite your resume to match — emphasizing the most relevant experience and using language that mirrors the role.
Will my resume still sound like me?+
Yes. Retold rewrites your story, not your identity. It works from your actual experience and preserves your voice — it reorders sections, adjusts emphasis, and mirrors the job's language without fabricating anything.
What does ATS-optimized mean?+
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are software used by employers to filter resumes before a human sees them. Retold formats your resume to pass ATS filters by using plain text, standard section headers, and the exact keywords from the job description.
Is Retold free to use?+
Yes. The free plan includes resume tailoring (1 variation, 10 runs/month), job application tracking (up to 10), momentum streaks, achievements, and weekly challenges. Paid plans unlock more variations, file downloads, cover letters, Gmail integration, health dashboard insights, and more.
What is the momentum system?+
Retold tracks 7 types of job search activity — applications, networking, tailoring, follow-ups, skills development, company research, and interview prep. You earn points for each action, build daily streaks, unlock 21 achievements across four tiers, and complete adaptive weekly challenges. It turns the grind of job searching into visible, measurable progress.
What does the Search Health dashboard show?+
The Search Health dashboard gives you a bird's-eye view of your job search. It includes an application funnel (applied to offer), an activity balance radar, weekly trend charts, mood check-ins, and AI-generated insights. It helps you spot slowdowns and course-correct before they cost you momentum.
Can I track my job applications in Retold?+
Yes. Retold includes a built-in job application tracker with a full status pipeline from Saved to Accepted. On paid plans, you can connect Gmail to auto-detect applications from confirmation emails and set follow-up reminders so you never miss a window.
How long does it take to tailor a resume with Retold?+
Retold tailors your resume in approximately 30 seconds. You paste a job description, and the AI analyzes the role requirements, extracts keywords, and restructures your resume almost instantly. Compared to the 30-60 minutes most people spend manually rewriting a resume for each application, Retold saves hours across a typical job search.
What file formats does Retold support?+
Retold accepts resume uploads in PDF and DOCX formats, and you can also paste plain text directly. For export, the free plan provides plain text copy, while paid plans unlock DOCX, Markdown, and styled PDF downloads.
Does Retold work with any industry or job type?+
Yes, Retold works across all industries, roles, and experience levels. Whether you are applying for software engineering, marketing, healthcare, finance, operations, or executive leadership positions, the AI analyzes each job description individually and tailors your resume to match that specific role.
How is Retold different from a resume builder?+
Resume builders create resumes from scratch using generic templates. Retold starts with your existing resume and tailors it for a specific job description. Plus, Retold goes beyond tailoring — it tracks your applications, keeps you motivated with gamification, and monitors your search health. It is a complete job search companion, not just a document editor.
What free tools does Retold offer?+
Retold offers four free tools that require no signup: a Resume Keyword Checker, a Skills Gap Analyzer, a Job Search Tracker Template, and an Interview Prep Checklist Generator. These are available at retold.dev/tools.
Is my resume data secure?+
Retold is built with a privacy-first approach. Your resume data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored securely on infrastructure hosted in the United States, and never shared with third parties or used to train AI models. You retain full ownership of your data, and you can delete your account and all associated content at any time.
