Section 1
The premise
AI is excellent at producing a structured cover letter draft in seconds, but its default voice is generic and recognizable; the value is in giving it your real story and then editing out the AI fingerprints.
What AI does well here
- Producing a three-paragraph structure that hits the standard beats
- Connecting a specific job requirement to a specific experience you describe
- Suggesting strong opening lines that avoid 'I am writing to apply'
- Tightening wordy sentences while preserving meaning
What AI cannot do
- Capture your authentic voice without you providing writing samples
- Know the company's internal culture or what the team actually values
- Replace a personal connection or referral with prose
