A capable coding agent can build the personal core: extract a clean, text-based CV, structure or tailor it with an LLM, and render a branded DOCX. It will work on tidy CVs and silently drop data on the rest. Saply's value is extraction accuracy across thousands of real-world CV layouts, tuned so no field goes missing on a client-facing document, plus the integrations that keep recruiters inside Word, their email, and their ATS.

# Saply indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Saply workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Upload a text-based PDF or DOCX, extract structured candidate data, optionally tailor it to a job, and render a branded DOCX.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- extraction accuracy across thousands of real-world CV layouts, tuned on years of data so nothing is silently dropped
- OCR for scanned and image-based CVs
- the AI agent that edits any CV in plain language directly inside Word and Google Docs
- Word, Google Docs, email, and ATS integrations (Bullhorn, Carerix, Spott, Loxo)
- EU tender templates (Europass, DIGIT-TM III, ITUSS21) plus anonymisation and translation
- ISO 27001 certified handling of security-sensitive candidate data
- bulk processing, team workflows, SLA, and enterprise support

If those capabilities are essential, use Reactive Resume instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

A recruiter cannot ship a client CV with a missing employer or certification, and cannot lose a minute fine-tuning output: in staffing, quality and speed win the placement. Teams pay for extraction that does not miss data across wildly varied CVs, output that is right the first time in their own and EU tender templates, and the ease of working directly inside Word, Google Docs, email, and their ATS. CVs are also security-sensitive documents, and certified handling is part of what agencies are buying.

questions
Vibecode Saply

Kinda. The core of Saply is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: extraction accuracy across thousands of real-world CV layouts, tuned on years of data so nothing is silently dropped, OCR for scanned and image-based CVs. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does Saply cost?

Saply costs about $230/month (Pro, checked 2026-07-31), which is $2760 per year.

What do I lose by replacing Saply?

Honestly: extraction accuracy across thousands of real-world CV layouts, tuned on years of data so nothing is silently dropped; OCR for scanned and image-based CVs; the AI agent that edits any CV in plain language directly inside Word and Google Docs; Word, Google Docs, email, and ATS integrations (Bullhorn, Carerix, Spott, Loxo); EU tender templates (Europass, DIGIT-TM III, ITUSS21) plus anonymisation and translation; ISO 27001 certified handling of security-sensitive candidate data; bulk processing, team workflows, SLA, and enterprise support. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Saply?

Yes: Resume Matcher (Upload a master CV, paste a job ad, get a tailored PDF; the staffing dashboard is what you do not get.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
