How is the Cover Letter Generator different from using ChatGPT or other AI tools?

Tools like ChatGPT can certainly generate a cover letter, but most of the time, it will be generic because ChatGPT doesn’t know what format to follow and what hiring managers want to see. Students would have to spend a lot of time creating a set of specific prompts in order for ChatGPT to get it right.

Our Cover Letter Generator is specifically built to help students and job seekers create strong, tailored, and job-ready cover letters, with less guesswork and no additional work on prompts.

To give you an idea, Cover Letter Generator is:

• Designed specifically for resumes and job descriptions. It knows what hiring managers look for and how to help users position their experience, skills, and goals in a way that aligns with real-world job postings. While ChatGPT provides a generic starting point, Cover Letter Generator provides a draft that’s structured, targeted, and grounded in job search best practices.
• Great for saving time. It pulls directly from users’ resumes and the job ad, without copy-paste juggling. Inside Big Resume, user resumes are already in the system, so the Cover Letter Generator knows what to highlight. That means users don’t have to prompt, re-prompt, or wonder if the AI “gets” what matters.
• Stronger on privacy. Unlike free AI tools like ChatGPT, Big Resume (and its tools) uses enterprise-level API access, which includes strict privacy protections. User data is not stored or used to train future AI models — a level of control that isn’t available to regular ChatGPT users.

So yes, while ChatGPT is powerful, our Cover Letter Generator is purpose-built for the job search, helping students go from “Where do I even start and how do I prompt ChatGPT?” to “Wow, this actually sounds like me and fits the job.”
