How the Cover Letter Generator Works

A cover letter has one job: show the hiring manager, in a few short paragraphs, why your experience fits this particular role. The generator does the first draft so you can spend your time on the part only you can do, which is deciding what is true and worth saying.

  1. 1

    Start from your resume

    The generator reads the resume you built in the resume builder, so every claim in the letter has a source on your page.

  2. 2

    Paste the job description

    Add the posting, the role and the company. The letter answers the requirements the employer actually wrote down.

  3. 3

    Pick a tone and a length

    Choose how formal the letter should sound and how long it should run, then generate.

  4. 4

    Edit, check and download

    The draft streams in as you watch. Rewrite a selected passage, run the claims check against your resume, then copy it or download it.

Write a Letter You Can Stand Behind

Generic letters are easy to spot, and recruiters skim past them. A letter that names the role, echoes the language of the posting and points to one or two concrete results from your resume reads as written for this job. That is the draft the generator aims for, and because it works from your resume rather than from a template, the experience it cites is experience you actually listed.

Treat the output as a starting point. Trim anything you would not say out loud, swap in a specific example you are proud of, and keep the opening and the close in your own voice. The editor lets you rewrite a selected passage without regenerating the whole letter, and it checks the draft against your resume so a number or a skill that does not appear there stands out before you hit send.

Pair the letter with the rest of your application. Build or refine the resume the letter draws from, run it through the resume analysis to see what a target role expects, and when the interview invitation arrives, rehearse with a free AI mock interview so the story in your letter is one you can tell out loud.

Cover Letter AI FAQ

Does the AI invent experience I do not have?
The draft is written from the resume you built, and the editor includes a check that compares the letter against that resume so you can spot a claim that has no source. You are still the author: read every sentence before you send it.
Can I change the letter after it is generated?
Yes. The output is plain, editable text. You can edit it directly, or select a passage and ask the AI to rewrite just that part.
What formats can I download?
Copy the text or download a plain .txt file. Word and PDF downloads are available when you are signed in.
Do I need a resume first?
The letter is grounded in a resume, so it works best when you have built one. If you have not, start in the AI resume builder, then come back to write the letter.
Is it free?
You can start for free. See the pricing page for current plan limits.
