CoverGPT

Generate a personalized & formatted cover letter for a given job position utilizing your resume.

Installation

You will need Python 3.9+ (with Tcl/Tk) and a TeX distribution installed on your system.

Install with this command (enter in command prompt/terminal):

pip install CoverGPT

Run with this command:

python3 -m CoverGPT

Before generating your first cover letter, ensure that you have logged in and filled out your user information. If you want a more personalized cover letter, upload your resume. You can still generate a cover letter without uploading your resume; but it will be of much lower quality.

Using your own cover letter template

A LaTeX template is provided, but you can use your own if you wish. If you choose to use your own template, make the following replacements in your .tex file:

• First Name: #firstName
• Last Name: #lastName
• Website Link: #websiteUrl
• Email: #email
• Phone Number: #phoneNumber
• Full Name: #fullName
• Company Name: #companyName
• Company Address: #address1
• City, State/Province, Zip/Postal Code: #address2

Insert a \vspace{0.5cm} at the bottom of your template (this is where the paragraph body will be inserted).
