AI Cover Letter Builder from Your Resume
Draft a one-page cover letter from the resume you've already written and the job you're applying for, edit it like a document, and export a PDF that matches your resume's design.
How it works
- Pick a resumeThe letter is written from its content.
- Add the jobPaste the job description, and optionally the company name, hiring manager and your own instruction.
- Choose a toneProfessional, confident, concise or friendly.
- Generate and editThe letter streams in, 250–350 words in three or four paragraphs. Edit the subject and body directly.
- Check the warningsIf the letter makes a claim that isn't supported by your resume or the job description, it's listed so you can fix it.
- ExportDownload a PDF styled like your resume.
Privacy
Your name and contact details aren't sent to the AI. The letter uses a placeholder that's filled in with your name on the server afterwards. Letters autosave to your private account library once you write or generate content. Wait for the saved confirmation before closing; you can reopen or delete drafts later.
Limitations
A generated letter is a first draft. It knows only what's in your resume and the posting, so the most persuasive part (why this company, specifically) usually needs your own words. There's no saved list of past letters. The cover letter guide covers what to add.
Turn a generated cover letter into a specific application
Choose two or three requirements that matter most for the role. Your letter should connect them to evidence in your resume, then explain your interest in the actual work. Repeating the resume line by line makes the letter longer without helping the reader understand why you fit this application.
A fictional junior analyst could write: “Your posting emphasises recurring reporting. In my support-ticket analysis project, I defined response-time metrics, checked incomplete records and presented the findings in a Power BI report.” The example connects a requirement to a project without presenting a personal exercise as employment. A later sentence should explain something real about the team or product, based on the employer's own information.
Check the company name and role every time you adapt a draft. Replace generic praise with a concrete reason, remove facts you cannot verify and keep the tone natural. The cover letter guide includes a complete example and structure. If an employer requests a different format, word limit or set of questions, follow that request.
Review the letter before sending it
- The company, job title and recipient are correct.
- Each claim is supported by your resume or your own verified experience.
- Your interest in the organisation is specific and factual.
- You saved or exported the final text before closing the tab.
Questions before you get started
Do I need a hiring manager's name?
Use a name when you can verify it from a reliable source. If you cannot, a neutral greeting is better than guessing. Check the posting for a required recipient or application reference.
Can a career changer use the builder?
Yes. Your source resume should explain the transferable work you actually performed. Connect that experience to the new role without changing your old title or pretending you already held the target position.
Will my previous letters appear in a saved library?
New and edited drafts autosave to your account. Reopen them in the saved library and keep a separate snapshot with an application when needed. Old browser-only drafts are saved when you reopen and edit them; closed tabs from before this feature cannot be recovered.
Build, check and tailor your resume in one place, then practise the interview.
