FAQ

Common questions. If yours isn't here, email hello@covyo.net.

What does Covyo do?+
Covyo turns your résumé + LinkedIn profile + a job description into a tailored, ATS-clean cover letter in under ten seconds. You upload your background once. Then for each application you paste the JD, pick an angle, and hit draft.
Will the letter pass ATS / AI screening?+
Yes — that's the design goal. Every letter is plain text in a single-column layout (no tables, no graphics, no fancy fonts). We run a deterministic check after generation that asserts no banned characters, no "AI tells" like "passionate about" or "leverage," correct word count, and your real sign-off name. A second AI pass critiques the draft for tone and JD-fit. Letters that fail either gate get auto-regenerated once. You see the quality score on every letter.
Is the free tier actually free?+
Yes. Five letters per month, no card required, no time limit. We'll show occasional ads in Studio and History to cover the Anthropic API costs (~$0.025/letter). You see your most-recent letter in History; older ones are locked behind Premium. You can upgrade whenever and your previous letters unlock immediately.
How does the trial work?+
Premium is pay-what-you-want monthly between $7 and $14 (you pick). Your first subscription includes a 7-day free trial. We collect your card upfront via Stripe. We'll email a reminder 2 days before the trial ends. If you don't cancel by then, your card is charged the amount you picked. Cancel anytime from Settings → Plan and you keep Premium until the end of the billing period.
What happens after I've used my 5 free letters?+
Your monthly quota resets 30 days after your account was created. You can wait it out or upgrade to Premium for unlimited letters. When you hit the cap, the paywall opens automatically with the upgrade flow.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Settings → Account → Plan → "Manage / cancel" opens the Stripe customer portal where you can cancel in two clicks. Your Premium access continues until the end of the current billing period. We don't make you talk to anyone.
What data do you store about me?+
Your email, the text you upload (résumé, LinkedIn, voice rules), the cover letters you generate, and your billing IDs (we never see your card — Stripe holds that). We don't train AI models on your data, we don't sell it, and you can delete your account and all associated data at any time. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
Does the AI hallucinate facts about me?+
Rarely. The model only has the information you give it — your résumé, your LinkedIn, your voice rules. It doesn't invent jobs you didn't hold or skills you don't have. The critique pass also flags any factual claims that don't match your background. Always read what it produces before sending — that's on you.
Can I edit the letter after it's generated?+
Today you can copy it out, tweak in your editor of choice, and paste it into your application. Editable in-app history is on the roadmap.
Who built Covyo?+
Covyo is built and operated by Daniel V. Oskarsson, an Icelandic Babson grad who got tired of writing 50 cover letters by hand during his own job search. Questions, feature requests, anything else — email hello@covyo.net.
