## Mechanism

With powerful Prompt Engineering, CoverPilot can deeply understand your resume and the job description, and find the best writing style to match your experience with the job. 

In CoverPilot, we hire two AI agents cooperatively writing your cover letter:

- **CheapAI**, an honest format converter and refiner, extracts essential info from job description and résumé.
- **StrongAI**, a thoughtful wordsmith, composes perfect cover letters to make both you and recruiters happy.

> Thanks to **CheapAI**'s work, your spending on **StrongAI** is substaintially saved.

## Setup

### Prepare API for AI capabilities

> [!IMPORTANT]
> You have to bring your own API keys.  
> If you have no idea about it, try getting one from https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys

Its API base defaults to OpenAI's, and is compatible with other AI chat service providers who have the same API structure.

API configurations can be set in 2 ways:
- environment variables
- Web UI

Check out the [config.py](app/config.py) for more details.
