FOLIO RESUME STUDIO · YOUR STORY, YOURS

AI resume helper

Bring your own AI assistant into the writing process. Folio gives you a backup, a facts-only prompt, and the exact format to return your changes safely.

01
Back up your resume
Open the editor and choose Backup. Keep the downloaded JSON file somewhere you can find it.
Open editor
02
Edit with AI
Give your backup and the prompt below to an AI assistant you trust. Review its edits before bringing the file back.
FACTS-ONLY PROMPTImprove the writing in my attached Folio Resume Studio JSON backup using only facts already present in that backup. Do not invent employers, dates, skills, qualifications, numbers, contact details, or achievements. Preserve the structure and every existing section and block ID; keep all section IDs unique and all block IDs unique across the whole resume. Preserve each section blockSpacing; use 18 when an older backup omits it. Preserve all header links exactly, including empty, partial, or unsafe draft labels and URLs; do not invent links. Only absolute http:// or https:// URLs without credentials become clickable. Preserve design, photo, and block library data when present. Return one complete canonical version 2 JSON backup and no Markdown. Include schemaVersion set to 2, photo (an empty string if none), the complete design object, and blockLibrary (an empty array if none). The complete Folio version 2 JSON Schema follows this instruction. If an improvement needs a missing fact, leave it unchanged and ask me a question separately. I will review the result before importing it.
The prompt asks for writing improvements while keeping your existing facts and backup data intact.
03
Return and import
Save the assistant’s result as a .json file. In Folio, choose Import backup and select it. The editor’s own validation is authoritative; invalid files are rejected before they can change your resume. Undo is available for resume changes.

THE FILE FORMAT

Folio resume JSON Schema
