AI Cover Letter Generator — Tailored in 30 Seconds

TL;DR: ApplyArc's AI cover letter generator analyses the job description against your CV and produces a tailored, ATS-friendly cover letter in about 30 seconds. Free for 5 uses per month. No prompt engineering required — just paste and generate.

How It Works

Paste the job description — The AI extracts key requirements, skills, and qualifications the employer is looking for.
Add your experience — Paste your CV or use your saved profile. The AI matches your achievements to the job's requirements.
Generate and customise — Get a personalised draft in ~30 seconds. Edit the tone, add personal touches, then copy or download.

Why It Works Better Than ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a general-purpose tool — you have to engineer the right prompt, paste context, and hope the output matches a professional cover letter format. ApplyArc is purpose-built:

Automatic job-to-CV matching: The AI compares the job description to your experience and highlights the overlap.
Proven cover letter structure: Opening hook, experience alignment, company-specific closer — based on what recruiters say they want to see.
ATS keyword injection: Includes relevant terms from the posting so your application passes automated screening.
Integrated with your tracker: The job description is already saved on your Kanban board — no copy-pasting between tabs.
