FAQ
How does the generator personalize each letter?
It writes only from what you enter: the name, letter type, examples, qualities, tone and your details. Specific examples give a specific letter and vague notes give a vague one. Read every sentence before you send it.
Does it use AI?
No. It is a template-based draft builder that runs in your browser. It cannot add facts you did not enter, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Is it ethical to use a generator for a recommendation letter?
It can be, if you treat the result as a draft. Every statement must be accurate, the final wording must be yours, and you should follow any policy of your school, employer or the program receiving the letter.
What should I write in the examples box?
One concrete example per line, starting with a verb: led, designed, wrote, improved, organized. Add numbers or results when you can.
What letter types can I choose?
College, scholarship, job or internship, graduate school, award nomination, character reference, character reference for court, immigration and landlord reference.
Can I edit the letter on the page?
Copy it into your own document to edit and sign it, or use New wording to get another version.
Will the letter sound generic?
Only if the examples are generic. Add real details and rewrite any sentence so it sounds like you.
Is the recommendation letter generator free?
Yes. It needs no account. Letters are not saved, so copy or print before you leave the page.
