A cover letter that knows the job.
Pick the framework: classic three-paragraph or StoryBrand four-act. The generator reads your master resume AND the saved JD, not just a paste of your background. The hook never invents company news, funding rounds, leadership changes, or product launches. If the JD does not name a verifiable detail, the hook falls back to a sharp role-specific insight.
How to use AI cover letter.
4 steps. Each one runs in seconds. Scroll in order.
- 01
Save the job
The parser pulls structured fields (company, role, key skills, ATS keywords) from the JD. The generator reads those fields plus your master resume on file. You do not paste either one into the cover letter form.
- 02
Pick the framework and generate
Classic is three paragraphs: hook, evidence, ask. StoryBrand is four acts: problem the role solves, you as the guide, the plan, the call to action. Default is StoryBrand because it converts better in our testing. Pick the other one if the company reads more traditional.
- 03
Review the draft inline
Edits are free. Tighten the hook, swap an example, adjust the closing. Most users send the generated draft with one or two tweaks.
- 04
Download as PDF or DOCX
PDF is free on every tier and ATS-safe (no watermark on the cover letter PDF). DOCX is Pro Weekly, Pro, and Pro Quarterly only. The letter lives in your tracker on the job record so you can come back to it later.
Classic vs StoryBrand on the same JD
Same JD, same master resume, two different shapes. Pick StoryBrand by default; switch to classic if the company reads traditional.
Hook on the role and the team. One paragraph with two specific examples from the master resume that map to the JD asks. Closing paragraph with a confident next-step ask. Reads like a traditional cover letter and works for older or more conservative companies.
Act 1: the problem the role solves (sourced from the JD pain points, not invented). Act 2: you as the guide, with the specific master-resume credentials that map to that problem. Act 3: the plan, how you would approach the role in your first 90 days. Act 4: the call to action with confidence. Reads less like a template and converts better in our testing.
The mechanics nobody hides.
You should be able to tell how a feature works before you trust it with your job search.
Reads master + JD, not just a paste
The generator reads your master resume on file AND the saved JD with its parsed skills + ATS keywords. You do not paste your background into the cover letter form. Claims in the letter trace back to your real experience because that experience is what the generator was given.
No fabricated company news
The hook many AI cover letter tools use is "I was excited to read about your Series B in TechCrunch," except the AI made up the Series B. Resimay's cover letter prompt explicitly refuses to invent company milestones, news events, funding rounds, leadership changes, or product launches. If no verifiable company detail is in the JD, the hook falls back to a sharp role-specific insight grounded in the JD itself.
Two frameworks, not ten
Classic (3 paragraphs, traditional shape) and StoryBrand (4 acts, modern conversion-tested shape). Default is StoryBrand. We do not ship a tone slider because the two frameworks ARE the tone choices. More options would dilute both.
Output is structured, server renders the formats
The AI returns structured content. The server renders plain text + PDF (free on every tier, ATS-safe, no watermark) + DOCX (Pro Weekly / Pro / Pro Quarterly). Same content, three formats.

What it deliberately does not do.
Honest limits read as trust signals. Hiding them does the opposite.
- We will not invent company milestones (Series B, funding rounds, leadership changes, product launches, news events). If the JD does not name a verifiable detail, the hook falls back to a sharp role-specific insight instead.
- Every generated letter is kept as a version on the job record, so regenerating never destroys a draft you liked. Version history lives with the job; delete the job and its letters go with it.
- We will not autofill the cover letter into the application form. The letter lives in your tracker and downloads as PDF or DOCX. You paste it where you need it.
- If our primary AI provider is degraded, the generator falls back to a backup provider so you still get a draft. Fallback drafts are marked so you know to give them an extra read; regenerate later for the primary-quality version.
- We do not ship a tone slider beyond the two frameworks. Classic and StoryBrand ARE the only knobs.
- English only today.
Common questions.
If your question isn't here, email support and you'll hear back from the founder.
What is the difference between classic and StoryBrand?
Classic is three paragraphs in a traditional shape: hook on the role, middle paragraph with specific examples from your master, closing paragraph with a confident next-step ask. StoryBrand is four acts: problem the role solves, you as the guide, your plan for the first 90 days, the call to action. Default is StoryBrand because it converts better in our testing. Use classic for older or more conservative companies.
Will it invent company news to hook the recruiter?
No. The prompt explicitly refuses to invent company milestones, funding rounds, leadership changes, or product launches. If the JD does not name a verifiable detail about the company, the hook falls back to a sharp role-specific insight that is grounded in the JD itself. We learned this discipline the hard way: AI cover letter tools that fabricate company news get caught immediately by recruiters who actually work there.
Does the cover letter count against my monthly AI ops on Free?
Yes. Each generation uses 1 of your 3 monthly AI operations on the Free plan, shared with resume tailoring, rejection analysis, and the resume builder bullet improvers. Pro Weekly, Pro, and Pro Quarterly unlock unlimited AI ops on every job.
Can I get a DOCX file?
Yes, on Pro Weekly, Pro, and Pro Quarterly. DOCX export is gated to paid tiers. PDF is free on every tier, ATS-safe, and watermark-free on the cover letter PDF.
Why no tone slider?
The two frameworks ARE the tone choices. Classic reads traditional. StoryBrand reads modern. Adding a slider on top would dilute the per-framework clarity and produce drafts that read like everything-and-nothing. If a draft does not read right, edit it inline (output is always editable before you send).
What if your AI provider has an outage?
Generation automatically falls back to a backup AI provider, so an outage at our primary provider degrades quality slightly instead of breaking the feature. Fallback drafts carry a disclaimer so you know to review them a little harder, and you can regenerate once the primary recovers.
