Generate and edit tailored cover letters grounded in your resume
Draft and edit role-specific cover letters that name the actual job. Refine every line by hand or AI in a real-time editor, then export a clean PDF for free.
What a first draft looks like
Here is the kind of draft you get: it names the job and reuses lines from your resume. Read it and cut anything that is not true.
Cover letter: Backend Engineer, Larkspur Labs
DraftDear Larkspur Labs hiring team,
Your Backend Engineer posting asks for someone who can keep payment data reliable. At Ridgeway Payments I wrote the Python scripts that cleaned up payment records in PostgreSQL, and I built an internal REST API for refund lookups.
Then: read it, cut anything that is not true, and edit every line before you export.
What is a tailored cover letter?
A cover letter is a short, role-specific message that introduces you to an employer and explains why your experience fits the job. A tailored cover letter refers to the actual role and draws on your background, rather than reusing a generic paragraph for every application.
FitWright drafts a first version from two things you already have: your resume and the job description. It connects your experience to what the role asks for. It is a draft. Read it, edit every line, and only then export or send it.
How to generate and edit a tailored cover letter

What it does

What it won’t do
- Fact-check itself. There is no automatic check of a letter’s claims against your resume, so read it before you send it.

Cover letter generator FAQ
Why is editing a generated cover letter important?
Recruiters quickly spot generic AI-written templates. Editing your cover letter draft ensures the tone is authentically yours, the accomplishments match what you can speak to in an interview, and the details speak directly to why you want to work at that specific company.
Does the cover letter generator make things up?
It is drafted from your resume and the job description. There is no automatic fact-check on cover letters, so read the draft and change anything that is not accurate before you send it.
Can I edit the generated cover letter?
Yes, always. The AI produces a first draft; you can rewrite, trim or restructure any part before exporting.
What should a good cover letter say?
Why this job, why you, and one or two specific examples from your experience that match what the posting asks for. Keep it under a page. The draft gives you that shape; the examples should be ones you can talk about in an interview.
What should I change in the draft?
Anything you would not say out loud: a claim you cannot back up, a tone that is not yours, a generic opening. Then add one detail about why this company, which only you know.
Do I still need a cover letter?
Not always. When a posting asks for one, or the form has an optional box, a short, specific letter lets you explain what a resume cannot: why this company, a career change, a gap or a move. If it is optional and you have nothing specific to say, skip it.
Can I export the cover letter to PDF?
Yes. Cover letters export as a clean PDF with their own simple layout. It does not copy your resume template’s design.
Can I use my own AI key?
Yes. Add a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek or Groq in Settings and FitWright charges no credits for your AI use.
