Show HN: Gandalf the Grey – Your Best Choise as a Consulter

6 points by splimeproject ↗ HN
As a fun test, we took a fictional “Gandalf bio” describing centuries of wizardry, battles against evil, and guiding hobbits. Then we fed it to our Service to see if we could reframe that as a modern consulting resume.

- Transformed Resume: https://telegra.ph/Gandalfs-Beauty-CV-02-16

The resulting CV highlights “strategic foresight,” “conflict resolution,” and “stakeholder alignment.” It reads surprisingly like a real professional background. The entire process uses GPT-based parsing plus a manual verification step to ensure it doesn’t mix up or invent details. Thought it might amuse the HN crowd—would love any feedback on potential pitfalls of comedic or fictional data. Also open to suggestions for broader use cases.

I got an error in both telegra.ph links.

Also, the preferred gitle style is something like "Name: Catchphrase", so next time I suggest something like "Show HN: SuperCV_bot - Personal Job Helper in Telegram" (or whatever that makes more sense).

Does it only rewrite CV or it also reply general questions?
