Beta Programme
Getting Started Guide
Launch Vyn

Welcome to your Vyn beta access.

Vyn compares your resume to a specific job posting and shows you exactly what to change — missing keywords, weak bullet points, and a full rewrite you can download as a Word file. This guide covers everything you need to get your first result.

Ready to go?

Open Vyn in your browser — nothing to install, it runs entirely on your screen. Have your access code from the welcome email handy.

See how it works

A quick preview of the whole flow — from uploading your resume to downloading the improved version. Your real screens will look just like this.

1

Open the app

Click the Launch Vyn button at the top of this page (or in the header) — Chrome or Edge works best. You can also go straight to:

https://vyn-beta.pages.dev/app
Nothing to install. The app runs entirely in your browser.
2

Enter your access code

Click the settings icon in the top-right corner of the app. You'll see a field labelled Beta Access Code. Paste in the code from your welcome email and click Save Code.

Your access code looks like: vyn-jane47291038  ·  It's personal to you — please don't share it.

Your code runs for six weeks from your first analysis and covers 40 analyses a day — well beyond what a normal search needs. It's all free; we cover the AI costs.

A note on privacy: Vyn logs which features you use and when, and the IP address your code is used from (kept 90 days, so we can spot shared codes) — tied to your access code only, never your resume, job posting, or any personal details. Your documents are never read or stored by Vyn's infrastructure.

3

Upload your resume and add a job

The app will prompt you to drop your resume into the upload zone — or click to browse. Word documents (.docx) give the best results. Once uploaded, Vyn reads your resume and shows you a quick Resume Baseline — a score out of 100 and the first things to fix, before you've even picked a job.

From the baseline, click Add a job to target your quick wins →. Then fill in two things:

A
The job title and company — just the role you're applying for.
B
The job posting — copy the full job description from LinkedIn, Indeed, or the company website and paste it into the text box. The more complete the posting, the better the analysis.
Tip: Use a real job you're actually applying to. The results are specific to that posting — not generic advice.
4

Run your analysis

Click Analyze Resume. It takes about 20–30 seconds. Vyn reads your resume against the job posting and produces your results.

You can add as many jobs as you like — each one gets its own analysis. Vyn remembers them all until you clear your browser.
5

Review your results and get your rewrite

You'll see a match score out of 100, a one-line read on how you stack up for this role, and your top fixes. Tap Why this score? ▾ to see the full breakdown of what's working and what isn't.

When you're ready, click Improve My Resume →. Vyn walks you through suggested rewrites one at a time — for each one, click Accept this change ✓ to keep it or Skip to pass. Every suggestion is based only on what you actually wrote — nothing is invented.

6

Download your updated resume

Click Download to save your rewritten resume as a Word file (.docx), ready to open, review, and send. Always read through it before submitting — it's a strong starting point, but you know your experience best.

What each part of your results means

🎯

Match Score

A number from 0–100 showing how well your resume aligns with this specific job. 85 or above is a strong match. 75–84 is well-matched with minor gaps. Below 60 means there's meaningful room to improve.

🔑

Missing Keywords

Words and phrases the employer is looking for that don't currently appear in your resume. These matter because many companies use software to filter applications before a person reads them.

💡

Suggestions

Specific improvements to your resume for this role — which sections to strengthen and how. More targeted than general resume advice.

⚠️

Resume Gaps

Things a recruiter might notice as missing or unclear — not faults, just areas to address. Worth reviewing so nothing catches you off guard in an interview.

Polish your whole resume — no job needed

The steps above tailor your resume to one job. But you can also have Vyn check and improve your resume on its own, before you pick a job. You'll find this on the Profile screen — click Profile in the top-right corner of the app.

1
Run a Health Check. Under 🔍 Resume Health Check, click Run Resume Health Check. In about 20–30 seconds you get a recruiter's-eye read of your resume on its own: a baseline score out of 100, what's working, what a recruiter might question, and your single most important fix.
2
Polish it. Below the results, click ✨ Polish My Resume. Vyn rewrites your whole resume to fix awkward wording, structure, and anything that weakens your credibility — all based only on what you actually wrote.
3
Review and save it. You'll see a What changed list. Click Download Word file to save the polished version, Use this text as my base now to make it your working resume inside Vyn, or Upload edited version as master after you've tweaked the file yourself.
Vyn never makes up numbers. If a bullet would be stronger with a figure — a percentage, a dollar amount, a headcount — Vyn lists it under 🔢 Add these numbers (only you know them) rather than inventing one. Fill those in yourself before you send the resume out.
Polish vs. tailoring: Polish is a general clean-up of your resume with no job attached. To target a specific role, add that job on the main screen and run a full analysis (steps 1–6 above) — that's where Vyn matches keywords and tailors your resume to the exact posting.

Other features worth knowing about

Cover Letter Generate a tailored cover letter for any job in your list. Find it in the job detail area once your analysis is done.
Application Tracker Log where you've applied, track interview dates, and add notes — all in one place.
Find Jobs Paste a list of job postings and Vyn will score them all against your resume at once — useful when you're deciding which roles to prioritise.
Career Insights After you've added a few jobs, Vyn looks across all of them to identify patterns — skills that keep coming up, gaps that appear in multiple roles.

What's new

Last updated 13 September 2026. Version 3.13.0-beta.85 (worth quoting if you email us about a problem)

Fixed: “I’ve applied — mark as done” did not move the job to Applied A beta tester pressed Continue on the Dashboard’s “Pick up where you left off” card, applied for the job, and pressed the mark-as-done button. The Dashboard still showed the job as in progress. The button was writing the change down in one place, and the Dashboard was looking in another. It now updates both, so the job moves to Applied in one click. If you worked around this by changing the status by hand, nothing you did needs undoing.
Fixed: Find jobs was showing postings up to three months old A beta tester spotted jobs posted 80 and 146 days ago in his results. We traced it to one of our three job sources ignoring the date window we asked for. Results are now limited to the last 7 days by default, and a new “Posted within” picker lets you choose 24 hours or 3 days instead. Listings that do not say when they were posted are now labelled “Date unknown” rather than passing as fresh.
Fixed: a job could say “Worth applying” when its own notes said you could not get it The same tester’s screenshot showed a card headlined “Worth applying” whose explanation ended with a residency rule he could not meet. The headline only looked at whether you met the main requirement. Now, if a listing states a rule you cannot satisfy by applying — a required licence, a security clearance, a “must live in” area — the card says Not eligible, names the rule, and drops below the jobs you can actually get. It does not flag a job just for being on-site somewhere; where to look is your choice.
Fixed: your “ideal salary” was quietly hiding better-paying jobs The job search copied the Target / Ideal Salary from your profile into a “Max salary” box and sent it to the job board as a ceiling, so anything paying more than your ideal never appeared — and pressing Reset put it back. That box is gone. Your profile figure is still used where it belongs, in the salary check on the analysis screen.
Salaries now say when they are an estimate, and the salary sort works Most job boards publish no pay at all. One of ours, Adzuna, fills the gap with its own estimate from similar listings, and we were showing those exactly like figures an employer had posted. Estimates are now marked “est.”. “Highest salary first” also had a bug that made any salary range outrank any single figure; it now sorts by the actual amount. The “Include no-salary listings” tick box is gone because, on inspection, it changed nothing.
The Find jobs labels now say what the suggestions do The “Job titles” and “Keywords” chips come from your resume; clicking a title searches for it, clicking a keyword adds it to your search (click again to take it out). The main search box is where any extra keywords go — there is no separate “include keywords” box, because the search treats words in that box the same way. “Title only” now explains itself.
Fixed: Vyn could tell you a resume was a strong match when it had not checked On the Improve step, if Vyn had no specific rewrites to offer, it said “Your resume is a strong match for this role” and pointed you at Apply — even when your score for that job was low. Having no suggestions is not the same as having nothing to fix; it also happens when that step did not finish. Vyn now only says you are a strong match when your score says so, and otherwise tells you your score and where to look.
Fixed: the welcome screen trapped you if you opened Vyn on a phone Its buttons sat below the bottom of the screen, the screen would not scroll to reach them, and there was no way to close it — so the only thing you could tap was “See a live example”. You could not get in, get out, or tell us about it. The welcome screen now scrolls and has a close button.
On a phone, Vyn now says so Phones and tablets are still rough — that has not changed, and it is still on the list below. What has changed is that Vyn tells you up front instead of leaving you to find out, and points you at opening the same link on a computer.
The upload box now says where your resume goes Your resume is saved on the device you are using and we keep no copy on our servers. To read it, the text is sent to our AI provider. That was always true; it just was not written down anywhere you could see it.
You can now remove a job straight from the Dashboard A beta tester went looking for a way to delete finished jobs three separate times and could not find it, because the only one was tucked away on another screen. Every row on your Dashboard now has a Remove button. Deleting is permanent, so export a backup first if you are unsure.
Archived jobs have their own section now They used to sit in with your interviews and closed applications, which made that list harder to scan. Archived jobs now live in their own section at the bottom of the Dashboard, folded away until you want them.
The numbers at the top of your Dashboard now say what they mean “Active” only ever counted jobs you had not sent yet, so it could read zero while you had ten applications out. It is now called “In progress”. “Interviews” quietly included offers, which made the number look too high; offers now have their own count and only appear when you have one.
A Clear button on the job form The job form keeps what you typed, which is handy when you are re-checking an updated resume against the same posting. When you genuinely want a blank form, there is now a Clear button rather than deleting three boxes by hand.
Fixed: messages that could not be closed once you opened a window Four of Vyn’s pop-up messages sat on top of any window you opened afterwards and stopped responding at the same moment, so neither could be closed. The most serious was the screen that helps you recover damaged data. All four now sit behind windows, and the two “are you sure?” bars can always be answered.
Vyn uses about half as much browser space Vyn keeps a spare copy of your data in case the main one is ever damaged. That spare was sitting in the same limited space as everything else and effectively doubling what Vyn used, which is what pushed one tester over the limit twice. It now lives somewhere with far more room. Nothing about the safety net changed, and you do not need to do anything.
Fixed: the “ran out of space” message could trap you in a window A beta tester found this one and it was our fault. If that message was showing and you opened Save My Data, the message sat on top of the window and covered its close button — and its own “Got it” button stopped working at the same time, so there was no way out of either. One tester escaped only by dragging the window onto a second screen. The message now sits behind any window you open. It is still there waiting when you close the window, and it still saves your work to a file first.
Fixed: Vyn could fill up your browser's storage and stall partway through improving a resume A beta tester hit this and it cost him his saved work, so this one matters. Vyn saves everything inside your browser, and every time you improved a resume it was tucking away another complete copy of your document's formatting. Enough rounds of that and the space ran out: saving started failing and the improve step froze partway through the suggestions. Vyn now keeps that formatting copy only for your two most recent versions, which cuts the space it uses roughly in half. Your saved versions, their text, and your downloads are all unchanged. If space ever does run out, Vyn still rescues your work to a file — and now it tells you the file's name in a message that stays on screen instead of flashing past, because that file may be the only copy. One more fix in the same area: restoring a backup no longer skips your saved profile without telling you.
Find jobs now has a front-door button on your Dashboard A beta tester told us the job search was too easy to miss — it only appeared after you clicked “+ New Application”, and nothing on the Dashboard said it existed. Fair point. There is now a “🔍 Find jobs” button right beside “+ New Application”, and the Dashboard’s “Find a job” link now opens the job search instead of the paste screen. Pasting a full posting is still the recommended way to get the most accurate score.
Better advice when keywords are dragging your score The score card used to say “add the missing terms from the Keywords panel”, which reads as: add all of them. That is bad advice. Putting words in your resume that your own experience does not back up sets you up for an interview question you cannot answer — and Vyn’s rewrite tool already refused to do it. The card now tells you to add the missing terms you have real experience with, so the advice and the rewriter finally say the same thing.
The Apply screen now says where its button sends you Vyn’s Apply button opens the employer’s own website rather than the job board you found the posting on, and nothing told you that. A short line under the button now does. Applying through the company itself generally gets further than applying through a board.
New: archive a job you never applied to, and Insights will ignore it A beta tester caught a real problem. If you score a job just to compare resumes — say you polish your resume and run the same posting again to see the new score — the only status that fit the old one was “Not Proceeded”, and Insights then read it as a real rejection and drew conclusions from it. There is now an honest answer: open the job from your Dashboard and set its status to Archived (not applying). Archived jobs keep their row under “Interview / Completed”, so nothing disappears, but they no longer count as applications and Insights leaves them out entirely. Pick any other status later to bring one back.
Job results now show which board they came from Search results that come from Adzuna carry a “Jobs by Adzuna” label linking back to them, so you can always see who supplied a listing. Results from other boards keep their own source tag. Nothing about how you search or what you see has changed otherwise.
Fixed: a warning about ALL CAPS that you could not make go away A beta tester reported that the Health Check kept insisting their summary was typed in capital letters when it plainly was not — and no amount of retyping, re-saving, or running Polish cleared the warning. They were right and it was our bug, not their resume: when Vyn read a Word file, it converted headings and bold lines to capitals in its own working copy before the AI ever saw them. That no longer happens. If you have seen this warning, upload your resume once more and Vyn will judge what you actually wrote.
Vyn now searches live job listings for you — nothing to set up Finding jobs used to require creating your own job-board accounts and pasting in access keys, which understandably nobody did. That requirement is gone: Vyn’s own service now does the searching, the same way it already handles the AI. Open “Pick a job”, choose the new Find jobs tab, type a job title and a place (and the country picker now works properly), and search. Full listings get a real match score; short teaser listings are labelled instead of scored, and their Analyze button takes you to Paste a Job so you can give Vyn the full posting.
Job match scores now read more of the job listing When Vyn scores the jobs it finds for you, it was reading only the opening of each listing — often stopping before the requirements, the part that actually decides whether you are a fit. It now reads well over twice as much. And if a listing is too short to say what the job requires at all, the score is labelled “Preliminary — based on a short job summary” rather than presented as a verdict. For a real score, open the job and paste the full posting into Vyn.
The rewrite preview now shows its keyword score After Vyn rewrites your resume, the preview used to promise it added keywords from the job posting without ever saying which, or how many. It now tells you, for example, “7 of 9 keywords from the job posting now in your resume” — and it says how many were not added, so you can go back to the suggestions and see for yourself. Vyn still will not put a claim in your resume that your resume does not back up.
Fixed: the Skills to Add tab never showed the skills to add Its “Missing Skills by Frequency” list was meant to name the skills from job postings that your resume is missing, but it had never listed a single one. It does now. The Career Intelligence page and your downloaded job summary had the same problem and are fixed the same way.
The Keywords, What’s Missing and Skills to Add tabs now say where their suggestions go Each of these panels feeds the “Improve my resume” rewriter below it, but nothing told you that. A short note on each one now says so.
Under-the-hood reliability: the live word counters can no longer get tangled up If two things were generating at once — say, a cover letter and a follow-up email close together — the running word count could occasionally show the wrong one’s progress. Each AI reply now owns its own counter, so what you see is always the one you are actually waiting on. Nothing about how Vyn writes, or what it writes, changed.
Two more “add a job” buttons now match the rest of the app The Career Intelligence page (shown before you’ve analyzed two jobs) had a “+ Add Job” button and the empty right-hand panel a “+ Start an Analysis” button — both opened an older form. Last release fixed the one on the Past Jobs tab; these two now take you to the same Paste a Job screen as everywhere else.
You can now watch Vyn work While Vyn reads a job against your resume, the screen used to sit almost still for a minute. Now your match score appears within a few seconds of being decided, and Vyn names the part it is writing — suggestions, gaps, and so on. Writing a cover letter or an email shows progress too: Vyn counts the words as it writes them.
The progress bar stopped exaggerating It used to race to 99% and then sit there while most of the work was still being done. It now moves with the work that has actually arrived, and each wait says up front that it takes about a minute.
The word count during the wait now matches what you get While a cover letter or email is being written, Vyn drafts two versions and you keep the one you prefer. The running count used to include both, so it read about double the finished text. Now it estimates the words you will actually see.
Fixed: the “+ Add First Job” button did nothing On the Past Jobs tab, the button you see before you have saved any jobs did not respond when clicked. It now opens the Paste a Job form.
The small print is bigger Status labels, the small coloured tags, and the little captions under your score were set smaller than everything else. They are the same size as the rest of the small text now, so you should not have to lean in to read them.
Two washed-out colours are easier to read The green “high impact” tag, and the green buttons while your mouse is over them, were too pale against their backgrounds. Both are darker now.
You can see where you are when using the keyboard If you move around with the Tab key rather than the mouse, a blue outline now shows which button or box you are on. In most places there was nothing to see before.
Fixed: “Failed to generate suggestions” Reported by a beta tester. Claude’s reply arrives in pieces, and Vyn could throw away characters from the middle of it — leaving a perfectly good answer that would not load. It now waits for each piece to arrive complete. If you hit this, please try that job again.
Easier to use with the keyboard, or a screen reader Press Tab and the first thing you land on is now a “Skip to the main content” button, so you do not have to tab through the header every time. Every screen now has a proper title that reading software can find and announce, and moving to a new screen takes your keyboard there instead of leaving it behind. The three optional job-search boxes now say what they are rather than reading as “blank”. Nothing looks any different.
The first screen appears sooner Vyn was loading four large helper programs before it drew anything on screen, even though none of them is needed until you upload a resume or download a file. They now load quietly in the background while the page appears. On a phone, or on a slow connection, that is the difference between staring at a blank screen and being able to start.
Better if you use a screen reader A screen reader is software that reads the page aloud. Boxes you type into say their own name instead of “blank”, and you are told when the analysis has finished rather than being left in silence. New this time: the short messages Vyn shows after you do something, like “Saved”, “Download started”, or an error, are now read out too. Before, they appeared on screen and said nothing. Pop-up windows read their title when they open, and the Tab key stays inside the window until you close it.
Less movement, if you have asked your computer for that Things slide and fade less when your computer is set to reduce movement. The loading circles still turn, so you can still tell Vyn is working.
Your accepted changes now reach the downloaded file This is the big one. If you went through the suggested improvements and accepted them, the file you downloaded could still be your original resume, usually after a red error that vanished before you could read it. It hit longer bullet points hardest. Fixed.
If a change cannot be made, Vyn says which one and why The note stays on screen instead of flashing past, and it shows the original and the suggested wording in full so you can make that change yourself. Your other accepted changes are still made, and they are in the file you download.
Cover letters stay with their own job A letter written for one employer could still be sitting on screen when you switched to another job, under the new employer's name. Each job now shows only its own letter.
The cover letter word count now counts the letter It was also counting the labels and notes around the letter, so a 330 word letter could be reported as 401 and marked as too long.
Clicking “Improve my resume” twice no longer starts two runs It used to start a second run on top of the first one. Now the second click simply tells you it is still working.
The buttons no longer cover the progress steps At the top of the screen, the Dashboard button and the version number were sitting on top of steps 3 and 4, so you could not read them.
Vyn reopens on the job you were working on It used to come back to whichever job sat at the top of your list.
Known problems we are still working on

“Improve my resume” can still get stuck loading for some testers. We have found and fixed two causes of this, but not yet the exact one a tester reported. If it happens to you: refresh the page — nothing you have done is lost — and if you can spare a moment, use the 👍 / 👎 buttons to tell us what you clicked just before it stuck. That note is exactly what we need to catch it.

Copy buttons can do nothing at all, with no message to tell you either way.

You may see a warning that a job is restricted to a location when the posting says no such thing.

After a polish, Vyn can say you improved something when your resume does not actually say that. Read the polished wording before you send it anywhere.

If you approve two changes to the same sentence, only one of them is made. Vyn tells you which one it left out.

Phones and tablets do not work properly yet. Vyn needs a laptop or desktop for now.

These are listed so you do not spend time reporting them. Anything else you hit is worth telling us about.

Tell us what's working (and what isn't)

Look for the 👍 / 👎 buttons under any result Vyn shows you — the score, the rewrites, the cover letter, the follow-up email. Tap one, optionally add a one-line note, and hit Send. Your feedback comes straight to the Vyn team by email. We read every one and reply within 24 hours when you've left a note.
