Turn a job description and your experience into a compelling cover letter that feels authentic, not generic. Paste in a job posting and your background, get back a cover letter that speaks directly to what the role requires.

The skill analyzes the job description for key requirements, maps your experience to what matters most, and crafts a letter that makes the connection clear. Each cover letter is customized—not a template with blanks filled in.

Stop agonizing over the opening line. Get a solid draft you can personalize and send.
