AI cover letters for Greenhouse job applications
Cover Me is a free Chrome extension that reads any Greenhouse job posting — the boards.greenhouse.io pages used by thousands of tech companies — and generates a tailored cover letter from your resume in about 10 seconds.
Greenhouse is the ATS behind the careers pages of a huge share of tech companies — if you’re applying to startups and scale-ups, you’ll see its clean single-page postings constantly. Those applications almost always include an optional cover letter field, and “optional” is where tailored letters quietly win interviews.
Cover Me reads the Greenhouse posting directly — including embedded Greenhouse boards on company career sites — and builds a letter matched to the role’s requirements, so filling that optional field costs you seconds instead of half an hour.

Greenhouse + Cover Me — common questions
Greenhouse says the cover letter is optional. Should I still include one?
Yes — optional fields are a differentiator. Most applicants skip them, so a tailored letter is one of the few signals that separates you at the screening stage. With Cover Me it costs about 10 seconds, so there’s no reason to leave it empty.
Does Cover Me work on Greenhouse boards embedded in company websites?
Yes. Whether the posting lives on boards.greenhouse.io or is embedded in a company’s own careers page, Cover Me detects the Greenhouse structure and scrapes it automatically. If a heavily customized page slips through, the manual paste fallback covers it.
Will the letter make it past the ATS screening?
Cover Me extracts the keywords and requirements from the posting itself and weaves them into your letter, so the letter speaks the same language the recruiter — and any keyword filter — is looking for. You can also tailor your resume to the same posting and see an ATS match score.
