I want to become a [TARGET ROLE]. Here is my background:

[YOUR EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS]

And here is a real job post for that role:

[PASTE JOB POST]

List the skills I already have, the ones I am missing, and the ones I can show through transferable experience. Rank the gaps by importance and give a 90-day plan to close the top three.

Paste two or three real job posts for the role, not just a job title, for more accurate results.

What you will get

Three lists (skills you have, skills you lack, skills you can show through related experience), the gaps ranked by importance, and a 90-day plan to close the top three.

Common mistake

Your background is one line, so the gaps are generic.

Fix: Paste your resume or a full list of tools, projects and results. The analysis can only be as specific as what it reads.

Also watch for

Every listed requirement is treated as a must-have. Ask it to separate “required” from “nice to have” in the job post, and rank only the required gaps at the top.
The 90-day plan is courses only. Ask for at least one project or piece of real work per gap, something you can show in an interview.

Try a variation: check an internal move

Use a role inside your current company instead, and ask which people or projects at work could help you close each gap.
