When you’re looking for jobs, one of the most daunting tasks is creating cover letters tailored for each company you’re applying for. It’s time-consuming and overwhelming, but at the same time, it is also the one thing that can separate you from the rest of the competition.
So yes, cover letters are the most dreadful part of job application — but that dread can be lessened.
Artificial intelligence has changed many aspects of our lives, and job hunting is no exception. Let me tell you a secret: there’s a way to ethically use LLMs to efficiently create cover letters, and that starts with Undetectable AI.
Do Cover Letters Need To Pass AI Detection?
Some people might argue that you don’t really need to pass AI detection when writing cover letters.
But they’re wrong.
Let’s start simple. AI can’t truly capture your unique voice and experiences. Employers are looking for cover letters that show who you are as a person, not just list skills from your resume.
Anyone who’s using ChatGPT is putting themselves at a disadvantage because AI-generated content often sounds generic or robotic. Hiring managers can usually spot when a cover letter wasn’t written by a real person. This can make you look lazy or uninterested in the job.
AI might also get facts wrong or include irrelevant information. It doesn’t know the specific company or role you’re applying for like you do. And most importantly, they don’t really know you. Your personal knowledge and research are crucial for tailoring your letter to each job.
There’s also the fact that companies are already filtering out applicants who are using LLMs automatically using AI detectors. This means that if you’re using a machine-generated cover letter, there’s a likely chance that it won’t even reach the HR.
However, I’m here to extend an olive branch. I will teach you how to ethically and efficiently use AI tools to create the perfect cover letter without triggering AI detection tools. Here’s how:
Writing Cover Letters with Undetectable AI
Step #1: Use Proper Prompting
The first step is knowing how to prompt. It’s not enough to just tell an AI “hey, make me a cover letter” and call it a day. You need to provide every information you can to make sure that the LLM you’re using won’t hallucinate. Always remember: someone’s going to check your cover letter afterwards and they can disregard you if they find any lacking or fake information.
Don’t worry — I have the perfect template:

Step #2: Paraphrase with Undetectable AI
Whatever you do, don’t submit that cover letter yet. Don’t get me wrong — it’s good enough, but it won’t pass AI detectors. To illustrate, here’s the cover letter tested against Sapling, one of the best free AI detectors in the market:
And that’s why I recommend using Undetectable AI. This paraphrasing tool turns any AI-generated content to something that resembles human writing. We’ve reviewed it in the past and compared it to countless detectors and other paraphrasers — we can confirm that it’s solid.

So, from a 100% AI likelihood, what’s the new score after checking this modified version against Sapling? 25.1%.
Like I said, Undetectable AI is (putting it mildly) pretty effective. But it has a pretty big asterisk. If you’re going to closely read their output, you’d notice the occasional missed punctuation, error in grammar, and choppy sentence structure. That’s because Undetectable AI intentionally adds mistakes to “copy” humans. After all, LLMs are flawless.
So, how do we fix this?
Step #3: Proofread Purposefully
It’s not enough to fix it by proofreading alone, you need to do it purposefully. What I meant by that is fixing its grammar while avoiding telltale signs that it came from an AI. This includes the following:
- Repetitive words or phrases.
- Over-reliance on transition words.
- No emotion, rhythm, or personalization.
- Lack or misunderstanding of idioms and other figures of speech.
- Words like utilize, spearhead, delve, crucial, revolutionize, pertinent and other common AI words.
- Outdated information since most LLMs can’t use real-time data or any instances of AI hallucinations.
Here’s how I’d paraphrase Undetectable AI’s output while keeping all those in mind:

Does It Still Pass AI Detection?
And now for the biggest question: even after removing the errors — does Undetectable AI’s output still pass AI detection?
The answer is a big yes. It increased the AI likelihood score from 25.1% to 37.4%, but that’s an acceptable jump considering that we changed the output a lot.
All Said And Done
This is how you create a fully undetectable, well-written cover letter using ChatGPT and Undetectable AI. But here’s the thing: AI will never be able to replicate human emotions like enthusiasm and pride — things that should always be present in cover letters.
The best cover letter is the one in your head. The one that truly encapsulates who you are as an employee. All AI can do is fill in placeholders with your information, but they can never truly capture your intent.
So, my best advice moving forward is to create a cover letter on your own, and if you’re worried about AI detention, only then should you use Undetectable AI.
