The problem

Generic AI letters repeat the CV, flatter the employer, and make claims without evidence. They often fail to explain why this role, why this organisation, and why this candidate now.

How DoCV solves it

DoCV uses your real experience and the job description together. It can structure a first draft around motivation, relevant evidence, and a clear close while leaving the final judgement and voice with you.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Use the target vacancy: Carry over the employer's priorities instead of generating a letter from a title alone.
  2. Choose relevant evidence: Select two or three examples that answer the role's strongest needs without retelling your whole CV.
  3. Generate a structured draft: Open with a specific fit, connect evidence to the role, explain genuine motivation, and close clearly.
  4. Personalise and verify: Correct the organisation name, remove clichés, adjust tone, and confirm every detail before sending.

Benefits

Shared application context

The letter and tailored CV can reflect the same vacancy priorities without becoming duplicates.

Tone control

Choose a direct, warm, formal, or concise starting point, then make the wording your own.

Evidence over filler

Ground the letter in specific work rather than unsupported enthusiasm.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a cover letter be?

Usually one readable page is enough. Prioritise role-specific evidence and motivation over a fixed word count.

Should a cover letter repeat my CV?

No. It should interpret selected evidence, connect it to the vacancy, and explain motivation that the CV cannot show well.

Can I change the tone?

Yes. Adapt formality to the organisation and role, but keep the final voice natural and professional.

How do I avoid a generic AI letter?

Add a genuine reason for this employer, use two concrete examples, delete clichés, and rewrite phrases you would never say.

Do I need the hiring manager's name?

Use it if it is supplied or easily verified. Otherwise a neutral greeting is safer than guessing.

Will DoCV invent experience for me?

It should not. Treat your uploaded CV as the source of truth, review every suggestion, and remove or correct anything you cannot support.
