How it works
From CV to cover letter in four steps
Choose your CV
Pick one of your saved CVs. The generator writes only from what is actually on it — no invented jobs, dates, or numbers.
Add the job
Paste the advert, drop in a link, or upload a PDF or photo. Answer a couple of quick questions about why you want the role.
Generate
AI drafts a one-page letter that connects your real experience to the requirements in the posting, in the tone you choose.
Edit & export
Refine the wording, shorten or lengthen it, shift the tone, then download as PDF or Word. Editing and export are always free.
Included free
Every account gets free cover letters
A number of AI cover letters are included with every Zed Career account, every month, with no card required. Editing and export never count against that. If you are applying to many roles at once, a paid plan raises the monthly limit.

Built for Zambian jobs
A letter that fits the local hiring process
Grounded in your CV
It writes from your actual experience — no invented employers, dates, qualifications, or numbers. Nothing you would have to walk back in an interview.
Matched to the advert
It quotes the reference number, addresses a named person where the posting gives one, and mirrors the advert's wording where it genuinely fits you.
The right format
Proper letterhead and salutation, one page, three or four focused paragraphs — the structure recruiters at banks, NGOs, and mining houses expect.

FAQ
Common questions
Is the cover letter generator really free?
Yes. Every Zed Career account includes several AI cover letters every month at no cost and with no card required. Editing an existing letter and exporting to PDF or Word are always free. Paid plans raise the monthly limit for people applying to many roles at once.
Will it make things up about my experience?
No. The generator writes only from the CV you select and the short answers you give it. It is instructed not to invent employers, job titles, dates, qualifications, or metrics. If a detail is not on your CV, it will not appear in the letter.
Can I use it for jobs in Zambia specifically?
It is built for the Zambian job market. Letters use a proper letterhead and salutation, keep to one page and three or four paragraphs, quote a reference number when the advert gives one, and mirror the advert's wording where it matches your background — the format Zambian recruiters expect.
What can I give it as the job posting?
Paste the advert text, add a link to the listing, or upload a PDF or a photo of the posting. The tool reads the role, company, and requirements from any of these.
Do I need a CV on Zed Career first?
Yes — the letter is generated from one of your saved CVs. You can build a CV free in a few minutes with the CV builder, or import an existing one from a PDF, then generate a cover letter from it.
