Cover letters that match each job, written from your own details
AI Cover Letter Generator writes a tailored cover letter by matching a user’s details with a job description. It’s free: users save their information once, track their letters and manage everything from one account. I designed the product, built the front-end and wrote the prompts behind it.
01The problem
Job seekers know a tailored cover letter helps, but writing a new one for each role is slow, and generic AI letters read like templates. The tool had to match a person’s real experience to what each job asks for, without making them retype their background every time.
Who it’s for
Active job seekers
A tailored letter for each application without starting from scratch.
Career changers
Help linking past experience to a new kind of role.

04Key decisions
Decision 01
Asking for experience with every letter is the slowest part of the job, and people give less detail each time.
Considered
A one-off form that asks for background with every new letter.
Chosen
Users save their details once in a profile, and each new letter only needs the job description.
Why it works
It moves the effort to the first visit, so every later letter is quick and still draws on full detail.
Decision 02
Generic AI letters repeat the job post’s keywords without showing why the person fits.
Considered
A template letter with the job’s keywords dropped in.
Chosen
The prompt pairs each key requirement in the job description with a matching point from the profile, and builds the letter around those pairs.
Why it works
Hiring managers read for evidence, not keywords, and pairing keeps every claim tied to the user’s real experience.
Decision 03
A generated letter is a draft, and after a few applications people lose track of what they sent where.
Considered
A copy button on the result with nothing saved.
Chosen
Letters open in an editor and save to a history grouped by role and company.
Why it works
Editing keeps the user’s voice in the final letter, and the history doubles as a simple application tracker.
05What’s inside
Stores experience, skills and achievements once for every letter.
Pairs the job’s requirements with the user’s most relevant points.
Drafts a tailored letter in the chosen tone and length.
Lets users refine the draft before they send it.
Tracks every letter by role and company in one account.
06How it was built
I designed it and wrote the code, so the design survived contact with reality.

What I learned
The best prompt improvement was a better input: a saved profile did more than any clever wording.
Small tools are judged on the repeat visit, so I designed for the next letter, not just the first.
