§ The Anti-Slop Manifesto

Forty-seven words
we will never
put on your resume.

Hiring managers can smell an AI-written resume from the parking lot. Every tool we ship has these patterns explicitly banned at the prompt level. The result reads like a human wrote it – because that’s the only thing it’s allowed to do.

§ The Diagnosis

Why your resume
isn’t working.

REASON 01
47
BANNED PHRASES

It reads like everyone else’s

"Managed cross-functional teams" tells a recruiter nothing.

Vague duties are the #1 reason resumes get skipped. We turn every bullet into a specific outcome with a number: who, what, how much, by when.

REASON 02
30s
HONEST ROAST

Your friends are too polite

Everyone says "looks good!" and moves on.

You need someone who’ll tell you that listing Microsoft Office as a skill in 2026 is actively hurting your application. We will.

REASON 03
90%
OF F500 USE ATS

Bots get the first read

Miss the keywords, miss the role.

90% of large companies rank resumes by keyword match before a human ever sees them. If you don’t speak their language, you don’t make the pile.

§ The Toolkit

Five tools.
One obvious workflow.

Roast tells you what’s broken. Build, Rewrite, and Cover Letter fix it. ATS Check makes sure the robots agree. Use them in order – or just the one you need.

§ The Two-Option Rule

We never give you
one answer. Ever.

Other AI tools hand you a single output and ask “is this good enough?” We hand you two, written in different voices, and ask “which one is more you?” The answer is always better.

§ For your stage

What you need depends on
where you are.

If you’re a mid-career

You've done a lot. Your resume doesn't say what.

The move: Run Rewrite against the next role you want – we’ll surface the metrics, kill the vague bullets, and mirror their language.

§ The Diff

Same person.
Same job.
Different result.

On the left: a real bullet from a real product manager’s resume. On the right: what our Rewrite tool returned for the same person, run against a real Stripe job description.

Slide ↔ to compare. Nothing was invented – only re-framed.

§ The Bot Wall

0%
of resumes get
filtered before a
human reads them.

ATS – Applicant Tracking Systems – rank you on keyword match before any recruiter sees the file. Miss the words, you’re invisible. Our ATS Check tells you exactly which keywords to add and where.

§ Questions

The kind
you’d actually
ask.

No. Your resume text is sent to the AI provider, the result comes back, and nothing is saved. No database, no logs, no record of anything. If you close the tab, the output is gone – so download what you want to keep.

Three ways. (1) Every tool has explicit anti-AI-slop rules at the prompt level – banned words, banned patterns, banned tone. (2) Each tool is specialized: the Rewrite prompt is not the Cover Letter prompt is not the ATS Check prompt. (3) You get two outputs to pick from, not one to argue with.

No. The free tools require nothing. For $5 one-time tools, you pay via Stripe and use the tool – that’s it. For the $9/month unlimited plan, Stripe needs your email to manage the subscription, but that’s the only data we touch.

Roast: 30 seconds. Build: about 10 minutes (you answer questions). Rewrite: 60-90 seconds. Cover Letter: 60 seconds. ATS Check: instant. End-to-end pipeline (Roast → Rewrite → Cover → ATS): under 15 minutes.

Right now, the output is plain text – designed to paste into your existing resume template or a tool like Google Docs. We’re shipping visual templates next; if you want first access, sign up at steeped.digital.

Steeped Digital – a small AI studio based in Toronto, Canada. We build focused AI tools that don’t bury the actually-useful behavior behind a thousand features. SteepedResume is one of them.

§ Who built this

We’re Steeped Digital – a small AI studio that builds focused tools instead of “platforms.” We started with the resume because every other tool we tried wrote the same recycled, buzzword-heavy junk we wouldn’t put our own names on. So we built one with rules.

steeped.digital ↗We also make resume templates on Etsy – if you need formatting to go with the words.
