The summary is the 3 or 4 lines at the top that tell a reader what you do, at what level, and what you are aiming at next. It sits first on the page and is easiest to write last. These prompts build it from your existing experience section rather than from a job title, so every claim in it is one the rest of the page already supports. Watch for the 2 standard failures — adjectives with nothing behind them, and a summary that would fit anyone with your title.
Before you paste any of these
Feed it the experience section, not the title — Paste your last 2 roles in full and ask for a summary drawn only from what is there. A summary written from "Senior Product Manager" alone describes a job category, not a person.
Set a hard length — Ask for a maximum of 3 sentences and about 50 words. Summaries expand to fill whatever room you allow, and a 6-line block at the top pushes your first real accomplishment down the page.
Name the target role in the prompt — A summary aimed at "staff engineer roles on platform teams" selects different evidence than one aimed at "engineering management". Give it the destination and it chooses which of your true facts to lead with.
Delete every adjective you cannot prove — Ask for a pass with all self-assessment stripped — no "results-driven", "passionate", or "proven". What is left is shorter, and every line of it is checkable against the page below.
7 prompts to copy
Every prompt ends with the same rules: use only what you give it, and mark a missing number with a placeholder instead of guessing one.
Your resume is finished and the block at the top of the page is still blank
What to have ready
•your full resume text, pasted
•the type of role you are applying for next
You are helping me write the summary block at the top of my resume. My full resume is below.
[PASTE YOUR FULL RESUME]
I am applying for [TARGET ROLE].
Requirements:
- Write 3 versions, each 2 to 3 sentences, in Markdown.
- Every claim must trace to a line in the resume above. After each version, list which line each claim came from.
- Open with years of experience and the field, both read off the dates and employers as written.
- If a version would be stronger with a number I did not give you, write [X] and tell me exactly what to fill in.
- Use no adjective the resume does not support. If you cannot point to evidence for "senior" or "led", drop the word.
Then tell me which version is strongest and what makes it stronger than the other two.
Rules — these override everything above:
- Use only the experience I give you. Do not invent employers, job titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills, or metrics.
- If a number would strengthen a line and I have not given you one, write a placeholder like [X%] or [$X] for me to fill in. Do not estimate it.
- Do not add a tool, skill, or credential I did not list, however standard it is in my field.
- Rewrite, reorder, tighten and re-emphasize what is already there. Where I have given you too little to work with, ask me for it or leave [add detail].

Now show me the same 3 versions with every unsupported word struck out, so I can see what you were tempted to add.
Open inCopies the prompt, then opens the assistant
You need the single line under your name that tells a recruiter what you are
What to have ready
•your current or most recent job title
•3 to 5 bullets from your resume that you are proudest of
•the title on the job you want next
I need the headline that sits directly under my name on my resume. One line, not a sentence.
Current title: [YOUR TITLE]
Proudest lines from my resume: [PASTE 3 TO 5 BULLETS]
Title I am targeting: [TARGET TITLE]
Requirements:
- Give me 10 options as a Markdown list, each 8 words or fewer.
- Make 5 of them a plain title line: role plus specialty. The other 5 may add one concrete differentiator, and it has to come from the bullets above.
- Do not add a seniority level I did not give you. If my title reads Analyst, no option may read Senior or Lead.
- No taglines, no metaphors, and none of these words: passionate, driven, results-oriented, dynamic.
- Flag any option that reaches past what the bullets support.
Then pick the 3 you would put in front of a recruiter and say why those 3.
Rules — these override everything above:
- Use only the experience I give you. Do not invent employers, job titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills, or metrics.
- If a number would strengthen a line and I have not given you one, write a placeholder like [X%] or [$X] for me to fill in. Do not estimate it.
- Do not add a tool, skill, or credential I did not list, however standard it is in my field.
- Rewrite, reorder, tighten and re-emphasize what is already there. Where I have given you too little to work with, ask me for it or leave [add detail].

You found the one job you actually want and the generic summary at the top no longer fits it
What to have ready
•the full job posting text
•your current resume
•your existing summary, if you have one
I am rewriting my resume summary for one specific job. Both pieces are below.
JOB POSTING: [PASTE THE FULL POSTING]
MY RESUME: [PASTE YOUR RESUME]
Work in this order:
1. List the 5 things this posting asks for most insistently, in the posting's own words.
2. For each one, quote the line in my resume that answers it. Where nothing answers it, say so plainly and set it aside.
3. Using only the matches from step 2, write a 3-sentence summary in Markdown that describes work I have actually done, in the words the posting uses for it.
4. List what the posting wants that I have no evidence for, so I can decide whether this is worth applying to.
Do not close a gap by writing something I did not give you. A short honest summary beats a padded one.
Rules — these override everything above:
- Use only the experience I give you. Do not invent employers, job titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills, or metrics.
- If a number would strengthen a line and I have not given you one, write a placeholder like [X%] or [$X] for me to fill in. Do not estimate it.
- Do not add a tool, skill, or credential I did not list, however standard it is in my field.
- Rewrite, reorder, tighten and re-emphasize what is already there. Where I have given you too little to work with, ask me for it or leave [add detail].

You are applying at a level where the reader wants scope and outcomes in the first 4 lines
What to have ready
•your resume
•the scope you owned — team size, budget, region, reporting line, as you actually know it
•2 or 3 outcomes you were accountable for
Write the profile paragraph at the top of an executive resume. My material is below.
RESUME: [PASTE YOUR RESUME]
SCOPE I OWNED: [TEAM SIZE, BUDGET, REGION, REPORTING LINE — only what you actually know]
OUTCOMES I WAS ACCOUNTABLE FOR: [PASTE 2 OR 3]
Requirements:
- 4 lines maximum, in Markdown, written for someone reading 40 resumes in one sitting.
- Line 1 names what I run and at what scope, using only the figures I gave you.
- The rest is outcome, not remit. Cut any phrase that describes a duty instead of a result.
- Where a figure would carry the sentence and I did not supply it, insert [X], then collect every placeholder at the end as direct questions for me.
- Avoid spearheaded, championed, and drove transformation. Say what changed.
Then give me a second version 30% shorter and tell me what you dropped to get there.
Rules — these override everything above:
- Use only the experience I give you. Do not invent employers, job titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills, or metrics.
- If a number would strengthen a line and I have not given you one, write a placeholder like [X%] or [$X] for me to fill in. Do not estimate it.
- Do not add a tool, skill, or credential I did not list, however standard it is in my field.
- Rewrite, reorder, tighten and re-emphasize what is already there. Where I have given you too little to work with, ask me for it or leave [add detail].

You are moving fields and the top of your resume has to explain the jump before anyone reads further
What to have ready
•your resume from the field you are leaving
•the target role or the posting you are aiming at
•the projects, courses, volunteer work, or side work that genuinely connect to the new field
I am changing fields and I need a summary that does not read as a stretch.
Leaving: [CURRENT FIELD]. Moving to: [TARGET ROLE OR FIELD].
MY RESUME SO FAR: [PASTE YOUR RESUME]
EVIDENCE THAT CONNECTS TO THE NEW FIELD: [PASTE PROJECTS, COURSES, VOLUNTEER OR SIDE WORK — real ones only]
Requirements:
- First, sort my evidence into transferable and not transferable for the target role, and show me that sort before you write a summary.
- Then write 3 sentences in Markdown. Sentence 1 states what I do now in language the new field understands. Sentence 2 points at the strongest transferable evidence by name. Sentence 3 states what I am moving toward.
- Use only the items I listed. Do not describe me as experienced in the new field.
- Finish by naming the weakest link in this story, so I can go and fix it rather than paper over it.
Rules — these override everything above:
- Use only the experience I give you. Do not invent employers, job titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills, or metrics.
- If a number would strengthen a line and I have not given you one, write a placeholder like [X%] or [$X] for me to fill in. Do not estimate it.
- Do not add a tool, skill, or credential I did not list, however standard it is in my field.
- Rewrite, reorder, tighten and re-emphasize what is already there. Where I have given you too little to work with, ask me for it or leave [add detail].

You have coursework, projects, or a first internship rather than years of jobs
What to have ready
•your coursework, projects, internships, part-time jobs, volunteer work, or certifications — whatever you actually have
•the role you are applying for
I do not have much work history yet and I need a summary that is honest and still worth reading.
WHAT I ACTUALLY HAVE: [PASTE COURSEWORK, PROJECTS, INTERNSHIPS, PART-TIME JOBS, VOLUNTEER WORK, CERTIFICATIONS]
ROLE I AM APPLYING FOR: [TARGET ROLE]
Requirements:
- Before writing anything, ask me up to 5 questions about what I actually did in the items above — what I built, what I decided, what I handled on my own. Then stop and wait for my answers. If you have already started drafting, discard that draft and ask the questions first.
- After I answer, write 2 versions, each 2 sentences, in Markdown.
- Build them from the concrete things I named: a project, a tool I used, a responsibility I held. Nothing about my attitude, work ethic, or eagerness to learn.
- Do not call me a graduate seeking an opportunity. Say what I can do and on what evidence.
- Where a version needs a detail I have not given you, mark it [X] and ask for it.
Rules — these override everything above:
- Use only the experience I give you. Do not invent employers, job titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills, or metrics.
- If a number would strengthen a line and I have not given you one, write a placeholder like [X%] or [$X] for me to fill in. Do not estimate it.
- Do not add a tool, skill, or credential I did not list, however standard it is in my field.
- Rewrite, reorder, tighten and re-emphasize what is already there. Where I have given you too little to work with, ask me for it or leave [add detail].

Your summary runs 5 or 6 lines and is eating space your experience needs
What to have ready
•your current summary, pasted exactly as it stands
•the role you are targeting
Below is the summary at the top of my resume. It is too long.
[PASTE YOUR CURRENT SUMMARY]
Target role: [TARGET ROLE]
Work in this order:
1. Quote back to me every phrase that says nothing a hiring manager can check — results-driven, proven track record, passionate about, dynamic professional, and anything like them.
2. Quote back every phrase that repeats something my experience bullets already say.
3. Rewrite the summary at half the word count or less, in Markdown, keeping only claims that are already present in the text I pasted.
4. Show the original word count and the new one.
One rule: you may delete and you may compress, but you may not add a fact, a figure, or a tool that is not already in what I gave you. If cutting opens a gap, tell me what to add and let me write it.
Rules — these override everything above:
- Use only the experience I give you. Do not invent employers, job titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills, or metrics.
- If a number would strengthen a line and I have not given you one, write a placeholder like [X%] or [$X] for me to fill in. Do not estimate it.
