USE CASE 1

A hiring manager uploads a job description and ten resumes to quickly screen which candidates are the strongest fit.

USE CASE 2

A job seeker uploads a job listing and their own resume to see how well they match before applying.

USE CASE 3

A founder without a recruiter uses this to gut-check whether a candidate lines up with the role they need to fill.

Requires a paid OpenAI API key, and the key is stored insecurely in the browser.

No license information is provided, so usage rights are unclear.

So what is it?

IntelliMatch is a simple web app that compares a job description to a candidate's resume and tells you how good the fit is. You upload both documents as PDFs, click a button, and it uses OpenAI's AI to evaluate whether the applicant is a strong match for the role. The app is straightforward to run. You just open it in your web browser, no installation or server setup needed. On first use, it asks for your own OpenAI API key (essentially a passcode that lets the app talk to OpenAI's AI). You paste that in, upload your two PDFs, and hit "Analyze Fit." The AI then reads both documents and produces an assessment. This would be useful for hiring managers, recruiters, or founders who want a quick gut-check on whether a candidate lines up with a job posting, for example, screening a pile of resumes against a machine learning engineer description. It could also work the other way: a job seeker could paste in a job listing and their own resume to see how well they match before applying. The creator is upfront that this was a learning project for practicing JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, not a production tool. One important caveat: storing your API key in browser storage isn't secure, so you wouldn't want to use this with sensitive data or share it widely. It's best thought of as a lightweight, personal-use experiment rather than something you'd deploy across a company.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I want to build a simple web app that lets me upload a job description PDF and a resume PDF, then uses OpenAI to analyze how well the candidate fits the job. How should I structure the upload form and call the OpenAI API?
Prompt 2
Help me add a feature to IntelliMatch that shows a percentage match score alongside the text assessment when comparing a resume to a job description.
Prompt 3
How can I securely handle an OpenAI API key in a client-side-only HTML and JavaScript app? What are the risks of storing it in the browser?
Prompt 4
I have a working HTML app that sends two PDF texts to OpenAI for a job-fit analysis. Can you help me improve the prompt so the AI returns a structured assessment with strengths, gaps, and an overall recommendation?
