Summary

This AI cover letter generator is a free, browser-based tool that turns six short answers and an optional job description into a clean cover letter draft. It pulls the most repeated keywords from the posting, works them into the letter, and shows how many appear. It is rule-based, not a language model, and nothing you type leaves your page.

Free tool

Free AI cover letter generator, built in your browser

Answer six short questions, paste the job description, and get a clean cover letter draft plus a keyword check against the posting. No signup, nothing leaves your browser.

Build my letter

Build your cover letter draft

Fill the fields on the left. The draft on the right updates as you type.

Your draft

Only keep keywords that are true for you. A draft is a starting point: edit every sentence until it sounds like you.

How it works

What the generator does with your answers

It builds from your facts

The letter has four parts: who you are applying as, one result with a number, one reason you want this company, and a short ask. Every slot is filled with what you typed, so nothing in the draft is invented for you.

It reads the job description

Paste the posting and the tool counts the words that repeat most, removes filler and the words already in your job title and company, then weaves the top three into the letter. Recruiters and applicant tracking systems both look for those exact words.

It checks its own work

Under the draft you see the top 8 keywords as chips. A highlighted chip means the word appears in your letter. An unhighlighted one is a gap you can close, if and only if it is true for you.

Why a draft is not enough

Use the draft as a first pass, then make it yours

A generator gives you structure, and structure is the part most candidates get wrong. It cannot give you the detail that makes a recruiter stop. That detail is the number in your result field and the specific reason in the company field. Spend your editing time there, not on greetings and sign-offs.

  • Replace the keyword sentence with one real example
  • Keep the result to one number you can explain
  • Delete any chip word you could not discuss for two minutes

From job post to sendable letter

  1. 1

    Copy the job description

    Paste the full posting, not a summary. The keyword check is only as good as the text you give it.

  2. 2

    Fill your three facts

    Strength, one result with a number, one reason for this company. If you cannot write the result, that is the thing to work on before applying.

  3. 3

    Read the chips

    Look at the unhighlighted keywords. Add the ones you can honestly claim, in your own sentence, not as a list.

  4. 4

    Edit and copy

    Change at least two sentences by hand, copy the letter, and paste it into the application form or a document.

Common questions about this generator

Is this a real AI cover letter generator?
Not in the large language model sense. It is a rule-based builder that runs in your browser: it assembles a recruiter-style structure from your six answers and pulls keywords from the job description you paste. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is no model reading your text. The full Write Me A Cover Letter product is the one that uses AI to read a company's tone from the job posting.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
Free, no signup, no email. Open the page, fill the fields, copy the letter.
Where do the keywords come from?
Only from the job description you paste. The tool counts the words that appear most often, drops filler such as 'team' or 'ability' and the words already in your job title and company name, and shows the top 8. There is no hidden keyword database.
What does 'covers X of Y keywords' mean?
It is a plain count. Of the top keywords found in your job description, how many appear in the draft text. It is not an ATS score. Real applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse, Lever or Workday each parse and rank differently, so treat the count as a prompt to check your wording, not a prediction.
Is my job description or personal data stored?
No. Everything you type stays in the page. The only thing that leaves your browser is an anonymous usage ping that the page sends when you first interact with the tool, with no text from your fields.
How long should the final letter be?
Short enough to read in under a minute, which in practice means one page. The draft here lands around 80 to 120 words before you add detail, which leaves you room to add one more specific example without padding.
Can I send the draft as it is?
You can, but you should not. The draft is built from your own inputs, so it is only as specific as they are. Swap in a real number, name the project, and delete any keyword you cannot back up in an interview.
