Magic Resume is a freemium, web and self-hosted resume workbench that uses AI proposals for editing, tailoring, and translation. It reads a resume and looks up a role before suggesting changes; each suggestion includes a reason and can be accepted or skipped. The editor offers a live preview, 19 templates, applicant-tracking-system optimization, job-description matching, and translation intended to preserve tone and structure. Mock interviews use real-time voice, ask follow-up questions, and produce reports on depth, job fit, expression, and structure. Resumes export as PDF or JSON, and JSON backups can be loaded back. Users can edit local drafts in a browser, then sign in for cloud workspace access and continuation on another device. The MIT-licensed editor can be self-hosted with Docker. The Free plan includes about 22 AI conversations monthly, 30 requests per minute, every template, PDF export, cloud sync, and version history. Pro costs $3.99 a month; Max costs $9.99 a month.
