Make Me A Cover Letter

Make Me A Cover Letter is a career tool. A single purpose cover letter generator that takes the job description and your resume, then drafts a short, personalised letter aimed at avoiding the robotic tone of most AI writing tools.

Make Me A Cover Letter is a narrow, single purpose writing tool built around one job: turning a job description and a resume into a cover letter that does not sound machine generated. The homepage opens with the promise of no more generic, boring and robotic cover letters, and the product is organised around four inputs the applicant supplies: position name, company name, job description and resume. A model selector defaults to gpt-4-0125-preview, so the underlying generation can be swapped rather than locked to one engine. The reasoning behind the design is laid out plainly on the site. A resume alone rarely earns the first interview, and the cover letter is framed as the first impression that decides whether the resume is read closely. The author argues that strong cover letters share three traits: they stay short and use plain language, they are personalised to the role, team and company, and they evoke an emotional response in the reader. Existing AI writers are criticised for missing all three, producing regurgitated resumes, stiff boilerplate and inflated vocabulary instead of enthusiasm and personality. In practice the workflow is a short form followed by a generated plan. The applicant pastes the position and company, adds the job description text and their resume, then triggers generation and works from the output. Because the tool is deliberately scoped to cover letters rather than general resume building, it complements a resume builder rather than replacing one. It suits job seekers sending a small number of tailored applications who want a draft with a human register, and it is less useful for anyone applying at volume across dozens of near identical roles. The site asks visitors to submit feedback through a Google Form and frames the February 2024 Product Hunt launch as the moment the product goes public, which places it among early stage, indie built writing assistants rather than established career platforms.
