Job Applications with AI: My Cover Letter Generation Agent
The Problem
Writing cover letters sucks. Each one took me 45+ minutes of:
Decoding vague job descriptions + Researching companies + Trying not to sound like a robot After 10 applications, I was ready to burn my resume. So I built a solution.
The Build
My AI cover letter generator does what I wish I could:
- Company Research Agent
- Scrapes job postings for company names
- Pulls recent news, products, culture details
- No more “I admire your innovative culture” BS
- Multi-Model Brain (GPT-4 for structure, Gemini for facts, Claude for human-like tone)
Self-Editing Workflow: First draft → identifies missing skills → revises Of course, Outputs clean PDFs ready for upload
The Results
10x faster: 5 min/application vs 45 min
Higher response rate: 38% callback vs ~10% before
Bonus: Interviews start with “Wow, you really know us”
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about cover letters. It’s about:
- Automating soul-crushing work
- Using AI as a force multiplier
- Getting back hours of my life
