Is there a free AI cover letter generator?
Short answer
Yes. Jobply generates a custom AI cover letter for free from the Generate & Apply banner at the top of each job page. It uses your profile and the job to tailor the draft, with no usage limits or credit card required. Review and edit the letter before you apply; Jobply works from your information and is not designed to invent qualifications.
What to look for
- Look for tailoring to the job and your actual experience.
- Check whether cover letters are included free or require a paid plan.
- Review and edit the draft before using it in an application.
How Jobply does it
Upload your résumé and review the profile Jobply builds from it. Then open a job and click Generate & Apply in the banner at the top of the page: the Chrome extension creates a custom cover letter and a tailored résumé for that job, and drafts answers to screening questions. With auto-submit off, you review and edit everything before submitting yourself.
