The People Net
Turn your resume into a personal site in less than a minute. The People Net is a “zero-config” website builder that uses AI to parse your existing PDF resume and instantly convert it into a clean, hosted professional profile. It eliminates the need to copy-paste your work history into a new CMS, giving you a shareable personal link (thepeoplenet.com/yourname) instantly.
Features
- Instant Resume Conversion: Upload a PDF, and the AI extracts your bio, experience, education, and skills to populate a website structure.
- Minimalist Aesthetics: Generates distraction-free, text-focused designs that prioritize readability and professional presentation.
- Zero-Config Setup: No drag-and-drop or template selection required; the layout is automatically optimized based on your content.
- Hosted Profile: Provides a dedicated URL to share on social media, email signatures, or job applications.
How It Works
- Upload: Drag and drop your existing resume (PDF format) into the platform.
- Parse: The AI reads the document, identifying key sections like “Work History” and “Skills” while discarding formatting artifacts.
- Publish: The tool generates a live webpage with a modern, mobile-responsive layout. You can then make quick text edits if needed before sharing.
Use Cases
- Last-Minute Portfolios: Job seekers who need a personal website link for an application today but don’t have time to build one.
- Non-Technical Professionals: Lawyers, consultants, or marketers who want a web presence beyond LinkedIn but lack coding or design skills.
- Freelance Networking: Creating a clean “digital business card” to share with potential clients that looks more premium than a PDF attachment.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: The fastest way to get a personal website online (literally seconds); removes the “writer’s block” of starting from scratch; clean, ATS-friendly aesthetic.
- Cons: Extremely limited customization (you can’t move elements around like in Wix); design is rigid; relies on the quality of your resume PDF for initial data.
Pricing
- Free: Basic profile generation and hosting.
- Premium (Projected): Custom domains and advanced analytics (likely upsells).
How Does It Compare?
- vs. Carrd: Carrd is a “canvas” builder where you drag, drop, and design elements manually. It offers infinite creativity but requires design time. The People Net is a “converter”—it offers zero design flexibility but requires zero effort.
- vs. LinkedIn: LinkedIn is a social network where your profile is trapped inside their “walled garden” and formatted identically to everyone else. The People Net gives you a standalone public URL that feels like a personal brand asset rather than a social media profile.
- vs. Read.cv: Read.cv is a popular “beautiful resume” platform, but it requires you to manually type or copy-paste your data into their fields. The People Net differentiates itself with the “Upload PDF” automation, making it faster for users who already have a resume file.
Final Thoughts
The People Net solves a specific pain point: the friction of “building a website” just to display the same information already on your resume. In an era where every professional is expected to have a personal site, this tool lowers the barrier to entry to zero. While it won’t replace a fully custom portfolio for designers, for the other 90% of professionals, it is the most efficient way to claim a corner of the internet.
