How Our Generator Actually Works
Here’s the scoop: our cover letter generator isn’t a simple template system. It uses natural language processing (NLP) to analyze job descriptions and your profile, looking at everything from required skills to company culture keywords. Then it creates a draft that makes clear connections between you and the employer’s needs.
What’s cool is the AI doesn’t just pick keywords—it understands the context and seniority level, so your letter feels spot-on instead of generic fluff.
