## Core Capabilities

### 1. AI CV Formatting
Upload any CV (PDF, DOCX, DOC, RTF, TXT, images via OCR) and get a professionally formatted output matching your company branding in 30 seconds. The AI extracts all candidate data — contact details, work experience, education, skills, certifications — and maps it into your chosen template layout with correct formatting, consistent fonts, and proper spacing.

### 2. Side-by-Side Editing
Unique split-view editor showing original and formatted CV simultaneously. Recruiters can review the AI's work, make manual adjustments, and ensure nothing is missed — all in one screen. No other CV formatting tool offers this workflow.

### 3. Multi-Language Support
Process CVs in 40+ languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Turkish, Greek, and more. 98% extraction accuracy across all supported languages.

### 4. AI Model Choice
Uses both Google Gemini and OpenAI GPT models for best-in-class accuracy. Users can choose which AI model to use per formatting job. Google models excel at structured extraction; OpenAI models excel at natural language understanding. This dual-model approach is unique to Formatix.AI.

### 5. Custom Templates
Create branded CV templates with your company logo, colours, fonts, and layout preferences. Supports DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX output formats. Templates use a placeholder system — define where candidate data appears, and the AI fills it in automatically. Unlimited templates on all plans.

### 6. Template Formats
- **DOCX**: Microsoft Word documents with full formatting control, headers/footers, tables, images
- **PPTX**: PowerPoint presentations for executive profiles and client presentations
- **XLSX**: Excel spreadsheets for candidate databases and bulk reporting

### 7. Batch Processing
Format up to 10 CVs simultaneously via the web platform. Upload multiple files, select a template, and the AI processes them all in parallel. Results are available for download individually or as a ZIP archive.

### 8. ATS Optimization
Output CVs are optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) parsing. Clean formatting, standard section headers, and machine-readable structure ensure CVs pass ATS filters. Compatible with Bullhorn, Workday, BambooHR, Greenhouse, Lever, JobAdder, and 20+ other ATS platforms.

### 9. API Integration
RESTful API for integrating CV formatting into your existing recruitment workflow or ATS. Endpoints for uploading CVs, triggering formatting, retrieving results, and managing templates. Full API documentation available to customers.

### 10. GDPR Compliance
EU/UK hosted infrastructure. End-to-end encryption for all uploaded documents. No permanent data storage — CVs are processed and deleted. Full GDPR and UK Data Protection Act 2018 compliance. Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available for enterprise customers.

- Upload and organise CVs
- Apply templates with one click
