What you need before starting

  • company name
  • role title
  • job description
  • a profile with enough real detail to work from

The better your profile and the better the pasted JD, the stronger the output.

How the flow works

The Forge moves through four states: idle, generating, done, and error. While it runs, Dilly surfaces narrated forge stages and a live keyword ticker so the process feels legible instead of hidden.

What you get at the end

ATS scorecard

Shows ATS Parse, Keyword Match, Profile Depth, and Role Fit.

Keyword highlighting

JD tokens are highlighted in the preview so you can see what actually landed.

Truth Ledger

Shows how much of the finished resume is grounded in your profile or original bullets.

Weakest-bullet path

Lets you jump into improving the weakest part of the resume through chat.

What makes it different

The Forge is not just a text generator. It includes a JD Strength Meter at setup, live keyword visibility while generating, a four-axis scorecard when finished, and a Truth Ledger so claims can be traced back to something real.

That grounding matters. A better-looking fake bullet is not a win.

What you can do after generation

  • share the resume
  • edit sections inline
  • save to generated resumes
  • strengthen the weakest bullet through chat

Important constraints

  • The template is fixed to a Harvard-style standard.
  • Skills render last by design.
  • The Forge is available only on Dilly and Pro.

Common confusion

Why is my output weak?

Usually because the profile is thin, the job description is vague, or the experience details are not rich enough to work from.

Can I pick a different template?

No. The app uses one hardcoded template.

Should I use Audit or Forge?

Use Audit to diagnose an existing resume. Use Forge to build a role-specific one for a target listing.
