Inspiration

Cover letters always help an application stand out but the process to make them is tedious. Thinking is tough and ChatGPT doesn't always generate the letter according to user preferences.

What it does

CoverStory helps in making cover letter that stand out and draw inspiration directly from your resume and job description. It generates a cover letter based on user prompts and helps you in tailoring resume for each job that you apply to.

How we built it

I decided to go with a React frontend to handle the authorization and authentication using Auth0 and went with a Flask backend to handle the API calls and working the GPT model. I decided on having the following features:

  1. Cover letter body generation
  2. Chat Storage System like GPT
  3. Generate PDF using Foxit API ## Challenges we ran into I ran into a lot of challenges while making the app. The main challenge was that the using Foxit PDF Services as the deadline was getting closer during that point in time. I tried my best to integrate but decided to make a trade off to keep the app working. ## Accomplishments that we're proud of I am proud of integrating Auth0 in the app and making sure that all of the operations carried out in it are secure. ## What we learned I learned more about the microservice architecture and how to use Foxit API to generate custom documents for my use case. ## What's next for CoverStory Next is to have more templates in cover story and also integrate the PDF editor from Foxit in it.
