Why Use an AI Cover Letter Generator?

Turn the role and your evidence into a first draft you can review and personalise.

A Faster First Draft

Start from the job description and your evidence instead of a blank page. Response time varies.

Job-Specific Matching

AI extracts requirements from the job description and highlights your relevant experience.

UK Spelling

The anonymous preview is prompted to use UK spelling and a short cover-letter structure.

Regenerate with a new angle

Try a different emphasis or tone. Pro usage remains subject to fair-use guardrails.

Review Before Sending

The draft is a starting point. Check every claim, instruction, and phrase before you use it.

AI Career Coach Included

Cover letters are just one of 18 tools. Your AI Career Coach sees your full pipeline and tells you what to do next.

How to Generate Your Cover Letter

1

Paste the job description

Copy the job posting so the draft has the role's requirements and context.

2

Add your experience

Provide your CV summary or key achievements. The AI matches your background to the role's requirements.

3

Generate and personalise

Generate a draft, copy the result, then verify its facts, tone, and employer instructions before use.

What the Anonymous Preview Does

The public form is a quick preview with a deliberate boundary. It uses only the job description and experience summary you paste into the form.

Preview boundaries

  • No account or signup required
  • No saved CV, profile, or job data is read
  • The draft is not attached to a saved job
  • Nothing is sent to an employer

Your checks before use

  • Confirm every achievement came from your evidence
  • Follow the employer's cover-letter instructions
  • Replace generic wording with your own details
  • Check names, spelling, tone, and sign-off
  • Copy the draft before leaving the preview

What AI Cover Letters Can't Replace

AI can produce a first draft. You still own its accuracy, tone, and fit for the employer's instructions.

Your genuine enthusiasm

AI can't fake why you care about this specific company. Add 1-2 sentences about what genuinely excites you. Mention a product feature, a recent blog post, or something from their mission page.

Personal anecdotes

The AI knows your bullet points but not your stories. Swap one generic sentence for a specific moment: the project that changed your approach, the metric you're proudest of.

Tone matching

A startup and a law firm want different energy. Review the AI output and adjust. More casual for startups, more formal for traditional industries. The structure stays the same.

Referral connections

If someone referred you, say so. AI doesn't know your network. 'Sarah from your engineering team suggested I apply' beats any AI opening line.

5 Cover Letter Checks Before You Send

Use these checks on every generated draft.

Opening with 'I am writing to apply for...'

Replace the generic opening with one verified achievement that matters for this role.

Repeating your CV line by line

Keep only the evidence that explains why you fit this role; let the CV carry the full history.

Generic closing paragraph

Tie the close to a real role requirement or company detail you checked yourself.

Wrong length (too long or too short)

Follow the employer's requested length. If none is given, remove repetition and keep the draft easy to scan.

No connection to the company

Add one company detail from a source you verified; do not let the draft invent motivation or research.

Solo founder. I built ApplyArc because the big career tools charge £40+ for things that should be cheap. Same tools, a fraction of the price, no investor to please.
