What this tool does
A fill-in-the-blanks cover letter generator for job hunters in tech, product, design, marketing, content, research and new-grad campus recruiting. Type six fields — company name, role, your name, three to five experience highlights, why this company in particular, and a tone — then get a fully written cover letter in seconds, in either English (350–450 words) or Chinese (400–500 characters). Four templates ship out of the box: General (works for any role), Tech (leads with shipped systems and scale), Creative (leads with craft for design / content / marketing), and New Grad (leans on projects and learning ability for fresh graduates). Four tones ship alongside: Formal (banks, law firms, consulting, traditional MNCs), Friendly (mid-size firms, agencies, established product teams), Startup (YC / seed / Series A — direct, low-fluff), and Academic (research labs, PhD applications, university posts). The entire engine is hand-written paragraph templates plus string substitution — no LLM call, no hallucinated achievements, no fake metrics, no "synergy" filler. The English and Chinese variants are not machine translations of each other: each tone × template combination has a separately authored opener, bridge, why-company lead-in, and closer in each language, so neither side reads like a translation. Output is plain text — copy with one click, download as .txt, or switch the page language and re-render the same input as the other side. Drafts auto-save to localStorage so you can come back to a half-finished application without losing the work, and nothing is ever uploaded — open DevTools → Network and you will see zero requests fire as you type.

Real-world use cases
Applying to 12 companies in one fall recruiting season
You are a third-year CS student firing off applications to a dozen companies in two weeks. Save one "tech + startup" draft, then for each company change only the company name and the why-company paragraph. Twelve tailored letters in an afternoon instead of rewriting from a blank page each time.
Same role, foreign posting and domestic posting
A backend engineer applying to the same job at a US-headquartered firm and its China office. Fill the six fields once in English, hit Copy for the foreign portal, then flip the language toggle and re-copy the natively-written Chinese version for the domestic HR system. One input, two letters, no retyping.
New grad with projects but zero industry experience
You graduate next June with no full-time job yet, only coursework and a hackathon win. Pick the New Grad template, drop three highlights with real numbers ("led a 3-person team to a $5k prize") into the field, and the engine frames them as learning ability and project execution rather than faking years you do not have.
Switching tone for a seed-stage startup founder
You drafted a Formal letter for a bank and now want to reuse it for a 15-person seed startup where the founder reads applications directly. Switch the tone from Formal to Startup and the opener drops "Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply" for a direct, low-fluff lead-in that does not get filed in the no pile.
Common pitfalls
Using a Formal tone for a seed startup. "Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the position of..." reads stiff to a founder who wants directness. Switch to the Startup tone before you copy.
Padding the highlights field with vague lines like "strong team player". One concrete highlight with a number ("shipped a service handling 2M requests/day") outweighs five adjectives, and it survives the interview follow-up.
Leaving the why-company paragraph generic ("I admire your mission"). Name a specific product, post, or technical decision of theirs. Recruiters read that line first to filter mass-applicants from real ones.
Privacy
Everything runs as static JavaScript in your browser. The six fields you type, the generated letter, and saved drafts all stay on your machine, capped at 20 drafts in localStorage. Nothing is uploaded, no analytics tracks your input, and no AI API is called. Your inputs never enter the URL either, so a shared page link carries no company name or personal details. Verify it yourself: open DevTools, Network tab, start typing, and you will see zero requests fire.
