## The Resume Is Obsolete {#the-resume-is-obsolete}
You are no longer marketing to people—you are positioning yourself for AI. AI has no attention limits. It can take in and reason over far more detail than any human ever could. The traditional resume is effectively obsolete. This document represents a new, more powerful way to define and communicate your full value. This document is the basis for networking in the era of AI. For more, read the short white paper on [Decentralized AI-Native Professional Networking](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZRELDV0Z77YeVsxXid1EFsATBwrmexVJHhwc1faIIzI/edit?usp=sharing). This template serves as the foundational artifact users submit to [iNDX.earth](https://iNDX.earth) to network in the AI era. You are no longer marketing to people—you are positioning yourself for AI.
