What the detector flags
AI-favorite words
Spearheaded, leveraged, seamless, robust. Words a chatbot picks far more often than a person describing their own job.
Results with no number
A bullet ending in "resulting in improved efficiency" claims an outcome and gives a reader nothing to check.
Stock phrases
Results-driven, proven track record, detail-oriented. Labels that could sit on anyone's resume.
Unfilled placeholders
A stray [X]% or [Company Name] left in from the draft.
Chatbot leftovers
"Here is your revised resume" and ** marks pasted in along with the text.
Machine rhythm
Six bullets of 18 to 20 words each, and em dashes where a person would type a comma.
What an AI detector can and cannot tell you
This tool reads wording. It does not know who wrote your resume, and neither does any other detector. Detectors that claim to identify AI text make mistakes in both directions, so a score is not evidence.
What a reader does notice is generic phrasing. A resume that sounds like every other resume gets skimmed, whether a chatbot or a person wrote it. That is the problem worth fixing.
Drafting with AI is fine. Sending the draft before you have put your own facts into it is what shows. For the editing steps, seehow to edit an AI-generated resume.

AI resume detector FAQ
Can employers tell if a resume was written by AI?
Not with certainty. What a reader can see is the pattern: the same verbs, vague results and identical rhythm in every bullet. Detection software exists and is unreliable. What you control is whether your resume has details only you would know.
Is it OK to use AI to write my resume?
Yes, as a drafting tool. Give it your real facts, then edit the output until every line is true and sounds like you. A resume gets you into trouble when it makes claims you cannot explain in an interview.
How does this AI resume detector work?
It looks for wording patterns: words chat models overuse, result clauses with no figure, stock phrases, leftover placeholders and bullets of identical length. It runs as code in your browser and does not send your resume to a server or to an AI model.
Is my resume uploaded or stored?
No. The check runs on your device and the text never leaves the page. Close the tab and it is gone.
How accurate is the score?
It measures phrasing, so it is accurate about phrasing. A person can write "spearheaded" and a chatbot can be told to write plainly, which means the score cannot identify the author. Treat a low score as a list of lines to rewrite.
Do applicant tracking systems reject AI-written resumes?
An applicant tracking system stores applications and lets recruiters search them. Rejecting a resume for sounding AI-written is not a standard ATS feature. Some employers add separate screening tools, and a person still reads the shortlist, so specific wording helps either way.
What score should I aim for?
Aim for 75 or higher. Below that, work through the flagged lines. Do not chase 100. One "streamlined" in a resume full of specifics is fine.
