How to Generate a Cover Letter

Pronto generates a tailored cover letter alongside your optimized resume — you get both at the same time.

Note: Cover letter generation is a Pro feature. Upgrade to unlock it.

How it works

1. Go to Cover Letter in the sidebar (or click Start from Job from the dashboard)
2. Upload your resume or use your saved one
3. Paste the job description, or paste the job URL and let Pronto fetch it automatically
4. Click Optimize
5. Your results appear with two tabs: Resume and Cover Letter
6. Click the Cover Letter tab to see your generated letter

What makes it good

Pronto doesn't fill a generic template — it:

• Pulls specific accomplishments from your resume that are relevant to this role
• References the company and job title by name
• Matches the tone and seniority level of the position
• Structures it like a cover letter a hiring manager actually wants to read

Editing your cover letter

On the Cover Letter tab, you'll see a Preview of the letter. To edit it:

1. Click the Edit button (shown in the toolbar or top of the cover letter panel)
2. The letter becomes editable in a text editor
3. Make your changes
4. Click Preview to return to the formatted view

Downloading your cover letter

Click the Download button on the Cover Letter tab. The cover letter saves as a Word (.docx) file so you can make final tweaks in any word processor before submitting.

Tips for the best results

• Use the full job description, including the "About the company" section — Pronto uses this to personalize the opening
• Make sure your resume has strong, specific bullet points — better input = better output
• If the tone feels off, set up a Voice Profile before generating so the output sounds like you
