How it works

  1. Paste posting and background

    Their words and yours, plus one true thing you know about the company.

  2. Get letter plus receipts

    One tailored letter and the list of your evidence it used, for a 30-second audit.

  3. Verify, personalize, send

    Check the receipts, fill placeholders, adjust one phrase to your voice.

What this tool does and does not do

It does

  • Writes one 220 to 350 word letter matching your evidence to their needs
  • Lists which of your points it used, so you can verify nothing was invented
  • Uses only what you said about the company; no researched flattery
  • Sends only this form, once; stores nothing about your search

It does not

  • Fabricate qualifications, enthusiasm biographies or company knowledge
  • Open with "I am writing to apply" or close with begging
  • Recycle one letter across postings; each run is built from THIS posting
  • Store your applications anywhere

What should a cover letter actually contain?

An argument, not a summary. The resume already lists your record; the letter's job is the connective tissue: THIS experience of mine meets THAT need of yours, here is the evidence, here is why your company specifically. Three or four paragraphs, every one earning its place. The generator enforces the structure; your inputs supply the argument's premises, which is why the background field asks for relevant experience rather than your whole history.

How long should a cover letter be?

220 to 350 words, which is where the tool writes: long enough for one developed argument, short enough to be read rather than triaged. The single-page rule everyone quotes is generous to a fault; nobody has ever rejected a candidate for a tight three paragraphs, and plenty have skimmed past page-fillers. When in doubt, cut the paragraph that is about your feelings and keep the one with a number in it.

The four-paragraph shape the drafts follow

  • The fit, named: their most emphasized need met by your most relevant evidence, sentence one. No preamble survives.
  • The proof, developed: your strongest one or two points expanded with scope and numbers, mapped to the posting's language.
  • The company, honestly: built only from what you told it. One true observation, connected to why the work suits you.
  • The close, confident: forward-looking and plain. Interest stated once; availability implied; dignity intact.

One fact base, every surface

The strongest applications repeat one truth at different altitudes: resume bullets state the evidence, the summary generalizes it, the letter argues with it, the interview narrates it. Build the base once, with the bullet generator and summary generator, confirm coverage with the keyword match, then let this letter draw from the same well. Contradictions between surfaces are what readers notice; coherence is what "polished" actually means. The interview questions generator closes the loop by rehearsing the narration layer.

Frequently asked questions

How does the cover letter generator work?

You paste the posting and describe your relevant background in your own words. It writes one letter (220 to 350 words) that connects your strongest evidence to their stated needs, plus a list of exactly which of your points it used, so you can verify nothing was invented. What you did not tell it, it cannot claim; gaps surface as [bracketed placeholders].

Do cover letters still matter?

Unevenly, and honesty requires saying so: some readers skip them, some screen by them, and for career changes or thin-resume situations they are often the only place your story fits. The rational strategy: send a sharp specific one when it is cheap to produce (which this tool makes true) and never send the generic kind, which reads worse than absence.

Why does it refuse to start with "I am writing to apply..."?

Because that opener spends the most-read sentence announcing what the document is, which the reader already knows. The instructions require the first line to name the actual fit: your most relevant evidence meeting their most emphasized need. Openers are where letters are won; announcements are where they are filed.

What is the "evidence it used" list for?

Verification, the anti-hallucination receipt. Every claim in the letter traces to a point you supplied; the list shows the mapping. Read it once before sending: if anything listed feels stretched beyond what you meant, edit the sentence it feeds. The audit takes thirty seconds and makes the letter defensible in interviews.

How do I make the letter feel specific to the company?

Tell the tool one true thing you know about them (the field exists for it): the expansion, the product, the value they publicize. One verifiable observation beats three paragraphs of flattery. If you know nothing yet, five minutes on their site fixes that, and the letter improves more per minute than any other edit. The JD keyword finder tells you what the posting itself emphasizes.

What happens to the posting and background I paste?

Sent once to the model, letter returns, nothing stored beyond the 10-minute rate counter (10 generations per 10 minutes). Job searches are private by default here: no history, no accounts, no dataset of who is applying where.
