AI cover letter generator

A cover letter written from your resume — not made up

Give Ergent the job description and your resume, pick a tone and length, and get a letter for that job. Anything the letter says that your resume doesn’t support is flagged, and where a detail would help, you get a [prompt] to fill in yourself.

Why it matters

A generic letter is easy to spot, and a letter that claims experience you don’t have can cost you in the interview. A useful draft is specific to the job and built only from what you’ve actually done — then it’s yours to edit.

Built to avoid invented facts

  • Written from your resume and the job description only
  • A check flags numbers, employers, tools or experience that your resume doesn’t show
  • Missing details become [bracketed prompts] instead of guesses

Make it yours

  • Four tones and three lengths
  • Pick the job keywords to focus on
  • Edit directly; signed-in letters save automatically and can be tied to a tracked application
  • Download as Word or PDF, or copy it

From the sample letter

I care about analysis that changes what gets built. When our monthly reporting was taking three days, I automated the data pulls in SQL and brought it down to one, which gave the team time back for the questions that mattered. [Add one decision your checkout reports or dashboards influenced, if you can name it.]

The highlighted [prompt] is a detail only the candidate can add — Ergent leaves it rather than inventing one.

  • Scores that explain themselvesEvery score comes with the reasons, the parsed text and ranked fixes. No percentiles or “better than 87% of applicants”.
  • Specific to each jobPaste the job description and the check, the tailoring, the letter and the interview questions are all written for that job.
  • Interview practice from your own resumeQuestions come from the job and your experience, and feedback points to what you could have mentioned from your resume.
  • One workspace, start to finishResume versions, job descriptions, letters, applications and interview prep stay connected, so you don’t paste the same things five times.

Questions

How long should a cover letter be?
Usually 200–400 words. Short works when the application form is long; Detailed (up to 500 words) suits roles that ask for a fuller letter.
Will recruiters know it was written with AI?
The letter is a draft built from your own facts. Read it, fill in the prompts, and change anything that doesn’t sound like you — that’s what makes it yours.
Does it add skills I don’t have?
It’s instructed not to, and a separate check flags any claim your resume doesn’t support so you can remove it. AI can still get things wrong, so read before you send.
Is it free?
Yes. Every tool works on the Free plan. Without an account you get 10 AI requests an hour; a free account gets 60 an hour and saves your work. Pro only raises the limits.
What happens to my resume?
It’s used to run the tool and, if you’re signed in, saved to your account. It isn’t sold or used for advertising, and you can delete everything from Settings.
