How it works

From a job posting to a ready-to-send letter

  1. 1

    Paste the job

    Drop in the role, company, and the job description so the AI knows what they're asking for.

  2. 2

    Generate the draft

    Pick a source resume and a tone — AI writes a tailored letter connecting your experience to the posting.

  3. 3

    Edit & download

    Tweak the wording, regenerate if you want, then download a clean PDF or save it as a draft.

What's in a tailored letter

A tailored letter, not a template

AI reads the posting and your resume, then writes an opening that names the role, body paragraphs that connect your real experience to what they're asking for, and a confident close — a first draft you make yours.

Example
  1. Opening Names the company and role, and why you're a fit — no generic “To whom it may concern.”
  2. Body Maps your resume's real achievements to the skills and requirements in the posting.
  3. Close A confident, specific sign-off that invites the next step.
Writes from the posting + your resume

It writes about the job, from your real experience

Add the role, company, and job description, then pick a source resume. The AI drafts a letter that's about this posting — not a one-size-fits-all template.

  • Job title, company, and job description
  • Built from a resume you already have
Tone, length & versions

Match the tone and length to the role

Choose Professional, Enthusiastic, Direct, or Formal, set the length, and regenerate for a fresh take — same facts, different wording — until it sounds like you.

  • Four writing tones, three lengths
  • Regenerate and switch between versions
Edit, save & download

Edit it, then download a clean PDF

Fine-tune the text inline, save it as a draft you can come back to, and download a polished PDF when it's ready to send.

  • Inline editing and saved drafts
  • One-click PDF download
From blank page to first draft

Stop starting from a blank page

Instead of a generic “Dear Hiring Manager” you rewrite for every role, start from a tailored draft that already names the company and connects your experience to the posting.

Blank pageExample

Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the position advertised on your website. I believe I would be a good fit…

Tailored draftExample

Dear Veridian team, your Senior Product Designer role is exactly where my work on design systems and 0→1 product can have an impact…

Illustrative — your draft depends on your resume and the posting.

  • Names the company and the role
  • Connects your achievements to the posting
  • Written in the tone you choose

Frequently asked questions

How does it write my cover letter?

You paste the job description and pick one of your resumes; the AI drafts a tailored letter connecting your experience to the posting. It's a strong first draft you review and edit — not a guaranteed result.

Do I need a resume first?

Yes — the cover letter is built from one of your resumes, so create or import a resume first, then generate the letter from it.

Can I change the tone or length?

Yes. Pick Professional, Enthusiastic, Direct, or Formal, set the length, and regenerate for a different take with the same facts.

Can I edit the letter?

Always. Edit the text inline, switch between versions, and save it as a draft before you download.

Can I download it as a PDF?

Yes — download a clean PDF to send, or save the draft to your dashboard to finish later.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.
