Show HN: AI Cover Letter Writer
tally.work
Companies will begin to not rely on cover letters due to the rise of AI usage. Even if they do still use cover letters, the AI detectors are now (finally) going to be applied there.
As a last resort, the employer might require the candidate to write the cover letter in person in the assessment centre with no access to the internet.
I’m afraid that this is going to be dead on arrival regardless of outcome. Companies will begin to not rely on cover letters due to the rise of AI usage.

Assuming you're not joking, that's just silly. Unless a candidate is desperate, why would they ever accept a "requirement" like that?
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the role of Terrible Cover Letter Generator at Tally.work. The job description caught my eye as I am passionate about artificial intelligence and its potential for transforming how we approach mundane tasks such as generating cover letters.
In my most recent experience I have been researching ways in which AI can be used to automate simple tasks such as data entry, formatting text and natural language processing. This has given me a broad understanding of the capabilities of AI and how it can be applied to other areas such as cover letter generation. In addition to this knowledge, I have strong coding skills in languages such as Java and Python which will be beneficial in the implementation of an AI-driven cover letter generator.
I understand that the role requires someone who is able to effectively validate models, fail at input field validation, and generate awful cover letters using AI.
If you feel that my skill set is suitable for the role then please don’t hesitate to contact me and arrange an interview where we can discuss further how my talents can help your team succeed with this project; or if you have any questions please contact me via email or telephone at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read my application!

Sounds to me like they won't be getting many applicants then.
I am currently looking for ML scientist jobs (just about to get my PhD) and this tool is a life saver for me. I have been procrastinating cover letters for weeks, and I just wrote 10 letter tonight with this. Obviously the output is a little verbose and needs some tuning by myself, but it's significantly easier to edit down a already written cover letter than to write one from scratch.

At least in tech circles, I haven't heard of anyone requiring or preferring a cover letter.
