Your AI job-application engine · Runs on your own Claude

Apply with
brutal honesty.

Cerca reads a job, scores your real fit without the fluff, and writes a tailored CV and cover letter — explained so any recruiter understands them. It never invents skills you don't have. Your data stays on your machine. The AI runs on your own Claude.

01

What Cerca does

// Honest scoring

Know before you apply

Paste a job. Cerca scores your fit out of 100 across five dimensions and tells you plainly: Apply, Consider, or Skip — with the real reasons, not false hope.

01
// Tailored documents

CV + cover letter, per job

One click turns your profile and the job into a tailored, ATS-friendly CV and a natural cover letter — every claim explained so a non-technical recruiter gets it.

02
// Zero fabrication

Only what you can defend

Cerca never invents skills or numbers. If it's not in your profile, it won't appear in your application. What you send, you can defend in the interview.

How it works

1

Connect your Claude

Paste your own Anthropic key. The AI runs on your account and your usage — never ours. The key stays in your browser.

2

Pick a folder

Choose one folder on your computer. Everything Cerca makes is saved there. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

3

Build your profile

Fill in your background once — skills, projects, experience. This is your private profile, stored on your machine.

4

Paste a job

Drop in a job description. Cerca scores your fit and shows your strong and weak points for that exact role.

5

Generate & apply

One click produces a tailored CV and cover letter, saved to your folder, ready to send.

6

You own everything

No accounts, no subscription, no data collection. Cerca is the brain — your machine, your Claude, your files.

03

The engine

Connect your Claude

Cerca runs on your own Anthropic API key, so the AI usage is billed to you and your data never leaves your machine. The key is stored only in this browser.

No key connected
Don't have one? Create it free at console.anthropic.com (add a payment method; you pay only for what you use — usually cents per application).

Pick a save folder

Choose one folder on your computer. Your profile, CVs and cover letters are saved there. If your browser doesn't support folder access, Cerca will download the files instead.

No folder chosen

Your profile

Fill this once. Be honest — Cerca only uses what you give it, and never invents anything. Saved to your folder as cerca-profile.json.

Paste a job & score your fit

Paste the full job description text (copy it from the posting). Cerca scores your real fit and shows the honest reasons.

Cerca is reading the job…

Your documents

Tailored to the job, built only from your real profile, every number explained. Save them to your folder or print to PDF.

04

The honesty rule

Most tools pad your CV with words a stranger can't understand and skills you can't defend. Cerca does the opposite: every claim is real, and every claim is explained — because the person reading it may not be an engineer, and has never met you.

// No fabrication

If it's not in your profile, it never appears in your application.

// Context always

Every number and achievement gets a plain-language "what it means" so any recruiter understands it.

// Your data, yours

No server, no accounts, no tracking. Files live on your machine. The AI runs on your Claude.
