ChatGPT-Powered Cover Letter Generator

This project automates the creation of personalized, job-specific cover letters using ChatGPT, integrated with Google Sheets and Google Docs. It streamlines the job application process, saving users time and effort while tailoring each cover letter for maximum impact.

Project Name: ChatGPT-Powered Cover Letter Generator

The Need/Problem/Why

Writing compelling cover letters for each job application is time-consuming and can be challenging. Tailoring each letter to the specific job requirements and recruiter preferences is crucial for making a strong impression, but it requires significant effort. This project automates this process, allowing users to quickly generate personalized cover letters without sacrificing quality or relevance.

The Workflow and User Journey at a high level

Input Job Details:

The user enters the job title, description, recruiter information (or industry sector), and any other relevant details into a Google Sheet. Each row represents a different job application.

Run the Script:

The user triggers a Google Apps Script.

AI-Powered Analysis & Summarization:

The script sends the job information to ChatGPT, which generates a concise job summary and identifies the 10 most important skills for that specific role.

Personalized Cover Letter Generation:

Using the job summary, key skills, and the user’s existing resume content as input, the script prompts ChatGPT to generate a tailored cover letter. (Mention the single-shot prompt approach and its RAG-like functionality for context).

Automated Saving:

The script automatically saves the generated cover letter as a Google Doc in a designated folder within the user’s Google Drive, organized by job title or other criteria.
