AI cover letter tools are powerful when used as a starting point. DO use AI to overcome the blank page — generate a rough draft, then rewrite it substantially. DON'T submit an unedited AI draft; recruiters recognise the patterns. DO tailor every letter to the specific role with genuine details. DON'T let AI invent experience you don't have. DO use AI to adjust tone for different cultural contexts (German formal vs London startup casual). DON'T ignore format requirements stated in the job posting. The candidates who get interviews combine AI efficiency with genuine personalisation and human judgment. Pair your cover letters with a strong, updated CV.
