Quick answer
What does this tool do?
A strong cover letter explains why this role fits your experience using a small number of relevant examples. AppliedToday drafts that connection from resume evidence and the job post rather than producing a generic biography.
Use it when
You need evidence, not a black-box score.
- Explaining a clear connection between your experience and the role
- Highlighting one or two achievements that deserve more context
- Handling a career transition without overstating transferable skills
- Creating a concise draft you can personalize before sending
Evidence-led middle

Source material

Three-part draft

Common questions
What job seekers ask.
Does the cover letter use my resume?+
Yes. The draft starts from resume evidence and the job description, with resume processing kept in your browser.
Will it research the company for me?+
The draft can use the job description you provide. You should add any company-specific claim only after checking a reliable source yourself.
Can I change the tone and length?+
Yes. Treat the output as a first draft and edit it for your voice, the application format, and the amount of detail the role deserves.
Does AppliedToday send the letter?+
No. AppliedToday creates copy-ready text. You review it, paste it into the application, and submit it yourself.
