How to check a generated cover letter
The Cover letter writer tool creates a draft letter connecting your experience to the vacancy requirements. It is a web form with two fields: "Source material" (up to 8000 characters) and "Role or characters" (up to 1000 characters). You select the output language, press Generate, and receive one text in a separate panel, which you can copy or download as TXT. The tool does not send the letter, does not save results and has no style settings. In this guide we will examine how to check the received text so that it reflects your real experience and is ready for sending. All examples in the article are conditional illustrations, not results of real tests.
Open tool: Cover letter writer ↗What the tool actually generates
The Cover letter writer tool is a text generator, not a job application management system. It accepts two text fields: "Source material" (up to 8000 characters) and "Role or characters" (up to 1000 characters). After selecting the output language and pressing the Generate button you receive a single result in a separate panel. It can be copied or downloaded as a TXT file. There are no presets, sliders or change levels in the interface.
Important to understand: the tool does not automatically send the letter, does not integrate with job sites and does not save history. It also does not fact-check for you. Model responses may contain errors, and queue and availability may vary. Therefore treat the output as a draft that requires your review.
Example of filling in: in the "Source material" field you paste the job description and your experience, in the "Role or characters" field you indicate "sales consultant".
Fact-checking accuracy
The first thing to do is carefully read the generated text and verify every statement against your real experience. The tool may embellish or add non-existent details. For example, if you worked as a salesperson for two years but did not handle inventory, and the letter appears with the phrase "conducted inventory", that is a falsehood that may surface at an interview.
Also check company names, positions, employment periods and specific numbers. If the tool wrote "increased sales by 20%" and you are not sure about this figure, it is better to replace it with a more general formulation or remove it. Remember: responsibility for the accuracy of the letter rests with you, not the tool.
Generated phrase: "Successfully managed a team of 5 people." If you were not a manager, this needs to be corrected.
Completeness and vacancy match
A good cover letter should address the key requirements of the vacancy. Compare the text with the job description: are the main duties and requirements mentioned in the letter? If the vacancy requires "Excel skills" but the letter mentions nothing of it, although you indicated this in the source data, it means the tool missed something. In such a case you can try regenerating or supplementing the text manually.
Pay attention to structure: is there an introduction, a main body with experience examples and a conclusion? The letter should not be too general. If it consists of general phrases like "I am hard-working and quick learner", it does not add value. Specificity is your advantage.
Vacancy: "Salesperson with retail experience and Excel knowledge needed." The letter must mention both points.
Language and style
The tool generates text in the language you have selected. Check for grammatical errors, awkward phrasing or calques from another language. Sometimes generative models can use too formal or, conversely, too colloquial style. For a cover letter it is better to stick to a neutral-professional tone.
Also make sure the letter does not contain cliché phrases that many candidates use. If the text looks like a standard rejection, the employer may not give it value. Add a little individuality, but do not overdo it.
Phrase "I would be happy to discuss how my experience can benefit your company" is a cliché, better replace with a specific sentence.
Practical usability
After checking accuracy and completeness evaluate how convenient the letter is for sending. It should not be too long (optimal 250-400 words) or too short. Make sure it has contact information if necessary, and that it is addressed to a specific person if the name is known.
Also check if the text can be copied without losing formatting. The tool outputs plain text, so do not expect bold or lists. If you need another format, you will have to edit manually.
Download the TXT file and open it in a text editor to make sure all paragraphs are in place.
Tool limitations
Important to remember: the tool does not check spelling and punctuation for you, does not analyze the job market and does not guarantee that the letter will lead to an interview. It also does not take into account the specifics of a particular industry if you did not describe it in the source data.
Furthermore, the tool is not intended for creating a resume or portfolio. It focuses specifically on the cover letter. Do not try to use it for other purposes, such as generating images or audio - these functions are absent.
If the vacancy has special requirements (e.g. knowledge of a rare program), be sure to mention them in the source data, otherwise the tool may not take them into account.
How to improve the result
If the generated letter does not suit you, try changing the source data: add more specificity, rephrase the vacancy requirements, indicate key words. The more detailed you describe your experience and requirements, the more accurate the result will be.
You can also generate several variants and choose the best one, then edit it manually. Do not be afraid to make edits - the tool gives a draft, not the final text.
Instead of "worked in a store" write "worked as a sales consultant in a clothing store, advised customers, worked with the cashier and Excel for inventory tracking".
The Cover letter writer tool is a useful assistant for creating a draft letter, but the final decision on its quality is yours. Check facts, vacancy match, language and style. Remember that the tool does not guarantee employment and does not replace your individuality. Use it as a starting point, then adapt the text to yourself. Good luck with your job search!
