Paste your CV and the job posting, and get a letter drawn only from facts already in your CV. Nothing is invented.



Your letter will appear here.

Most AI cover letter tools will happily claim you led a team you never led. This one draws only on what you entered, and where a figure is missing it leaves a placeholder for you to fill in rather than making one up. That constraint exists because the fastest way to lose an offer is to be caught describing work you did not do.

How it works

  1. Paste or select your CV. If you built it in CV Studio, choose the version.
  2. Paste the job advert and the company name.
  3. Pick a tone — warm, formal, or short and direct.
  4. Generate, then edit. Treat the output as a first draft that has done the structural work, not a finished letter.

What a cover letter is actually for

Your CV lists what you did. The cover letter explains why this particular role, at this particular employer, is the sensible next step — and connects one or two specific things you have done to what the advert is asking for. It is not a prose version of your CV, and a recruiter who reads the same information twice stops reading.

Three paragraphs is usually enough: why this role, the strongest relevant evidence, and a closing line. Half a page beats a full one.

Frequently asked questions

Will the letter invent things about me?
No. It works only from facts in your CV. Where a specific number would strengthen a sentence and you have not supplied one, it leaves a placeholder rather than guessing.

Should I edit the generated letter?
Yes, always. Read it aloud and change anything that does not sound like you. The generator handles structure and relevance; the voice should be yours.

How long should a cover letter be?
Three short paragraphs, comfortably under one page. Half a page is often better than a full one.

Can employers tell a cover letter was AI-assisted?
They can spot an unedited one — generic openings, no specific detail, and a register that does not match the rest of the application. Editing for specifics and voice is what makes the difference.

Do I need to include a cover letter?
If the advert asks for one, yes, and its absence is often treated as an incomplete application. If it is optional, include one when you have something specific to say about the role.

Why most AI cover letter tools invent things

A generic AI writing tool asked for a cover letter has to fill in gaps somehow, and the easiest way is to generalize your job title into achievements you never listed — turning “Marketing Coordinator” into a letter that claims you “led cross-functional campaigns” when your actual CV never said that. It reads well and is often untrue, which is a real risk if a hiring manager asks about it in an interview.

This generator works differently: it only has access to what’s already in the CV you select and the job description you paste in, so it can highlight and reframe your real experience against what the posting is asking for, but it can’t invent a scope of responsibility, a team size, or a result you didn’t put in your CV in the first place. If your CV is thin on a skill the job wants, the letter will be too — which is a signal to go add that detail to your CV rather than let the letter paper over it.

How the tone options work

The three tone settings change how the letter is voiced, not what it claims: Warm reads more conversational and personable, Formal is closer to traditional cover letter conventions, and Short and direct strips it down to the points a hiring manager scans for first. All three pull from the same underlying facts.
