A real line from a DecodeX user.
"The CV translator is awesome. I had heard I needed to rewrite my CV to present results clearly for non-scientists, but this exceeded my expectations."
"Your tool helped me improve my CV and LinkedIn profile and had an effect on me getting an interview, which later ended up in a new job."
Built for PhDs moving to Data Scientist
DecodeX is a set of eight AI tools for STEM PhDs and postdocs applying to industry jobs in Germany, most of them international researchers writing in English. It turns an academic CV into an industry one, checks it against a real posting, writes the cover letter, prepares the interview and the salary talk. Built by Dr. Aleena Baby, a physicist turned ML engineer in Germany.
Your journey from academia to industry.
Find your direction, then the application, then the interviews. Calibrated for German and EU hiring, not generic global advice. The ATS platforms your application will pass through are considered while building it.

Before you paste anything
How is this different from asking ChatGPT or Claude?
A general model tells you your CV looks strong. DecodeX runs on Claude, calibrated against PhDs who moved into German industry, German ATS systems and EU hiring norms. Every tool asks for the inputs that matter and refuses to invent the rest.
What happens to my CV and my text?
Your account (email and credits) is stored with our hosting providers, Lovable and Supabase. Your CV and results stay in your browser and are cleared when you sign out. Text you submit is sent to Anthropic to generate the result and is not used to train AI models.
What can I do with the 4 free credits?
The free Explorer plan gives you 4 credits for two tools, the LinkedIn Evaluator and the CV Bullet Translator, at 1 credit per run. Any credit pack, or the Job Search Pack, unlocks all eight tools.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits from the Starter and Sprint packs never expire. The Job Search Pack works differently: unlimited use of all 8 tools for 90 days from purchase, then it expires and your remaining credits are still there.
Do I need all three stages?
No. Each tool works on its own. The stages are the recommended path because each result feeds the next: the plan builds on your direction, the letter on your CV and the posting, the salary scripts on your salary band.
