Three-step wizard layout: Step 1 — Your Background: Name, current role, years of experience, top 3 achievements (with metric prompts: "e.g. Increased sales by 40%"), key skills (tag input), and a brief "Why I'm switching" optional field. Step 2 — Job Details: Company name, hiring manager name (optional, defaults to "Hiring Manager"), job title, paste job description textarea, company culture notes (optional), and application type selector (Cold Outreach / Posted Role / Internal Transfer / Referral). Step 3 — Customize: Tone selector (Confident/Conversational/Formal/Creative), length selector (Short 200w / Standard 350w / Detailed 500w), opening hook style (Achievement-first / Question / Story / Direct), and a "Keywords to include" tag field auto-populated from the parsed job description. Output panel: Rendered cover letter with highlighted keyword matches (amber underline). Shows a "Keyword Match Score" (matched / total required keywords). Four variation buttons: "Regenerate Opening", "Make More Concise", "Add More Personality", "Formal Version". Copy-to-clipboard button. "Download as .txt" button. Include 3 pre-built example cover letters: Tech Startup, Fortune 500 Corporate, Nonprofit. Show a "Common Mistakes" checklist below the output flagging issues (generic opener, no metrics, too long).
