The key facts at a glance.

What is JACVault?
An AI application builder for jobs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You paste in a job, and JACVault builds the application for it from your profile, in German or English.
What do you get?
A CV with a profile summary, a cover letter, a fit score, interview preparation and an interview simulation with feedback. For every job, as a PDF in the layout you choose.
How is it different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you text, JACVault gives you a finished application. It reads the job ad word for word, strikes the tone of the company and the industry, and gives a reason for every change. What you get is a pixel-perfect PDF that applicant tracking systems (ATS) read cleanly, with a layout you can switch in one click. Nothing is made up: if something’s missing, JACVault asks.
Can I try JACVault for free?
Yes. Your first application is free and complete, with every feature and no credit card. You only choose a plan if you need more.
What happens to my data?
Your application data is stored on servers in Germany, and AI processing stays within the EU. No selling, no sharing for advertising, no training of public AI models. GDPR-compliant.

The difference from generic AI

We don’t guess. We analyze.

Generic AI writes what sounds plausible. JACVault builds an application for this exact role from your real data and shows you the why behind every change.

The machine (ATS)

It doesn’t read, it parses.

So you get a cleanly structured PDF with the terms the role asks for.

The human

They decide in seconds.

So a profile summary at the top shows what counts for this role.

Our goal: getting you into a personal conversation. From there, it’s all you.

Do German companies use ATS? The honest answer
  1. Five sources, deliberately weighted

    The job ad is read word for word, and nothing is made up.

    • The job
    • Your facts
    • Your voice
    • The industry language
    • The company
    The whole chain, step by step
  2. Every change comes with a reason

    Original, new version and the why, side by side.

    Where ChatGPT hits its limits, and why
  3. Sounds like you, not like AI

    After your first application, JACVault learns your tone in two minutes, in every plan.

From the founder Alex Vitanyi Founder, JACVault

For over 15 years I worked closely with HR, and spent years abroad applying for jobs myself. Again and again I watched applicant tracking systems filter capable people out on formalities, before a human ever read their story.

That's why I built JACVault: to present you truthfully and precisely, so the machine and the person behind it both understand why you fit.

Your application data is as personal as it gets. It's handled to GDPR standards and stays yours alone. No one, not even me, can look at it.

Read the full story

The app is genuinely well thought out. The interface is intuitive and gives you a great overview of everything it can do. The standouts for me are the CV generator and the interview prep. The interview simulation pulls together your cover letter, your CV and details on the prospective employer to make the practice interview as in-depth as possible.

FAQ

What you want to know

Answered briefly and honestly. The quickest way to see the rest is to try it yourself: start for free.

How is JACVault different from CV templates and other application generators?

Templates give you a layout and many generators give you text from a few inputs; JACVault aligns your real data to one specific role. It reads the job ad word for word, picks up the company’s values and culture from the employer’s own job page, and gives a reason for every change. Your interview preparation is built from the same application.

How AI applications work, step by step

Can recruiters tell that my application was written with AI?

Recruiters can’t reliably detect AI-written text, but they do spot applications that could have come from anyone: no evidence, no link to the role, the same sentence rhythm as every other one. JACVault writes from your real roles and numbers, and after your first application, two minutes of questions teach it your tone.

How your application ends up sounding like you

What if I don’t meet every requirement in the job ad?

JACVault never credits you with anything that isn’t in your profile, and it tells you plainly how well you fit. A second, independent AI model gives two fit scores with its reasoning: how well your profile matched before, and how well the finished application matches now. If the role isn’t a fit, it says so.

How the fit score works

Will my CV get through applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

Nobody can guarantee that, but JACVault builds every CV so applicant tracking systems can read it cleanly, and checks this with its own measurements. Our templates run through three commercial parsing engines of the kind used in ATS on the German market. On top of that come the terms the role asks for, as far as your profile backs them up.

The ATS test: what actually survives parsing

Do I still need a cover letter (Anschreiben) in Germany?

Usually, yes: many job ads in Germany, Austria and Switzerland still ask for one, even though some employers have dropped it. JACVault writes one with every application, one page long and built from the same analysis as your CV. Whether you send it depends on the ad. For freelance projects, JACVault writes a cover letter tailored to the project.

The German cover letter (Anschreiben), explained

Can JACVault write my application in German if my CV is in English?

Yes: JACVault writes your application in the language of the job ad, even when your profile is in the other one. The text is written directly in German, not translated, and your facts stay exactly as they are. One honest caveat: a German application tells the employer you can hold the interview in German too.

Should your application be in English or German?

How long does an application with JACVault take?

About ten minutes per role once your profile is set up. You create the profile once by importing your CV as a PDF or Word file, or your LinkedIn profile, and checking it. After that, you just paste in the job ad.

Import your CV instead of retyping it

Can I edit my application myself before I send it?

Yes, every word: you edit your CV and cover letter directly in the finished document. The changes apply to this application only, and your profile stays untouched. If you get lost, one click resets the document to the generated version without using up another application.

The full journey: how JACVault works

Does the free application turn into a paid subscription?

No: you start the free application without a credit card, so it can’t roll over into a paid plan. A plan only starts when you switch to one yourself in the app, and it can be cancelled monthly with no minimum term.

Can I delete my data from JACVault?

Yes, you can delete any application or profile entry directly in the app. To delete your whole account, send us a short message through the contact form: we delete it with all your data and confirm it to you.
