Shapiro starts by reflecting on his past success with a straightforward email generator, which took raw text inputs and converted them into coherent emails. Inspired by that success and noticing the common struggle many face in crafting cover letters, he considers whether an AI-driven tool could ease this process. Although he initially questions the ethics of machines writing personal documents, he concludes that as long as it functions as a tool—much like career coaches or mentors—there’s nothing unethical about it. Instead, AI can augment the human process, providing a structured starting point.
