LiftmyCV Adds a Real-Time AI Cover Letter Generator to Supercharge Its Auto-Apply Agent
Built by job seekers, for job seekers — LiftmyCV delivers human-like, personalized cover letters for every application, without the burnout. London, UK - May 30th, 2025 - LiftmyCV, the startup redefining how professionals apply for jobs, has launched a new feature that tackles one of the most frustrating parts of job hunting: writing cover letters. The new AI Cover Letter Generator per Job creates personalized, context-aware cover letters for each role a user applies to — in real time, with a single click. It's designed to help applicants stand out in crowded inboxes, without spending hours rewriting the same intro lines over and over. 'Cover letters have always been a painful chore,' said Dan Zaitsev, founder of LiftmyCV. 'Most job seekers either skip them or send the same generic version to every company. We wanted to build a tool that makes every cover letter feel personal — without the work.' A Problem Most Job Platforms Ignore While resumes have become easier to generate with templates and AI tools, cover letters remain a pain point. Research shows that nearly 60% of hiring managers still expect them, yet most candidates either copy-paste generic versions or skip them entirely. LiftmyCV's AI Cover Letter Generator uses the latest ChatGPT models to write original, role-specific letters — tailored to each job description and aligned with the user's profile. The letters are editable, professionally worded, and optimized to pass ATS filters, giving job seekers a better shot at interviews without sacrificing time or authenticity. A Mission-Driven Approach to Modern Job Hunting LiftmyCV was founded by a team of product builders and engineers who were tired of the inefficiencies of modern job platforms. The company is building a next-generation job search agent that doesn't just automate tasks — it enhances the application process with meaningful, personalized content. From its auto-apply AI agent to its resume-to-profile converter and now smart cover letter generation, LiftmyCV is evolving into a full-stack job search platform designed to help professionals apply faster, smarter, and without burnout. 'The job search process is broken,' Zaitsev adds. 'We're building tools that treat job seekers like real people, not just clicks in a funnel.' How It Works After uploading their resume and completing a job seeker profile, users simply activate the AI Cover Letter Generator when applying to a job through LiftmyCV's platform. The tool analyzes the job description, matches it with the user's profile, and writes a unique, high-quality cover letter tailored to that specific opportunity. Each letter is: Combined with LiftmyCV's AI job search agent, which auto-applies to roles across LinkedIn, Workable, Lever, and more, this new feature turns the traditionally exhausting job hunt into a smoother, more strategic process.

Google Photos celebrates turning 10 with a new and improved editor and easier album sharing
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google is celebrating 10 years of Google Photos with a fresh look and new tools for the editor. You can now share entire albums instantly with people nearby with just a QR code. The rollout for the new photo editor begins next month for Android users, and iOS later this year. For a lot of people, Google Photos is where all their memories live in terms of cloud-based storage. With at least 15GB of space on the free tier, Google Photos is one of the better options available. And believe it or not, Google Photos has been around for an entire decade. Since a decade of Google Photos is quite a feat, Google is celebrating the milestone with a brand new look for the Google Photos editor. The redesigned editor has a more simplified interface that puts all of the editing tools in a single place along with helpful edit suggestions to get the perfect photo. In a single tap, you can select the subject, background, or any other part of the photo. With some help from AI, a menu containing several suggestions tailored for that particular area pops up, all designed to enhance that part of the image. Or if you want to edit the entire image, there are AI-powered suggestions that combine several effects for a quick and painless edit. There are also new tools like Reimagine and Auto frame, which originally made their debut with the Magic Editor in the Pixel 9 series. These new tools can be found with the other manual adjustment tools like brightness and contrast. Reimagine utilizes generative AI to make a scene more ideal (turn a gloomy overcast sky into a sunny one), and Auto frame helps achieve the proper crop. Ryan Haines / Android Authority Reimagine in Magic Editor Once you get those edits in, you'll likely want to share those results quickly with others. If those people happen to be nearby, you can now share entire albums faster by generating a QR code for people to scan. Once someone scans the code, they're able to view and even add photos to the album if needed. So when are we getting all these new goodies? We got an early look at that QR code sharing feature in an APK teardown last month, but it's now rolling out for all Google Photos users. For the redesigned Google Photos editor, however, it will begin landing on Android devices running Android 8 or newer in June, with iOS devices later this year. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Verizon customers are again finding out their bills include things they never asked for
Verizon –SniperInCherno, Reddit, May 2025 Now, whether this stuff gets added by AI or by a rep trying to meet a quota, it still ends up being a frustrating situation for the customer. – parallelmeme, Reddit, May 2025 Verizon . But still, the damage is already done – it is a bad look and an even worse experience. Verizon needs to take a closer look at how its AI tools are functioning (especially since reps don't seem to like them) and also make sure sales staff aren't under pressure to sneak stuff onto accounts just to hit a number. Now, whether this stuff gets added by AI or by a rep trying to meet a quota, it still ends up being a frustrating situation for the upside is that these charges are often reversible if you catch them in time and reach out to.

Consumer frustration over these types of practices is boiling over and it is starting to show in real-world behavior. More and more users are stepping away from not just Verizon but also AT&T and T-Mobile because of the so-called predatory practices. –MrKennedy76, Reddit, May 2025 We've reached out to Verizon for a comment and will update the story when we have a response. If something like this ever happens to you, the best thing you can do is act fast. Call customer service, cancel the add-ons through the app if possible and get everything in writing.

Halifax says new plan will help city properly communicate in emergencies
The Halifax municipality has a new plan to better communicate with residents in emergencies, and staff say upcoming artificial intelligence tools could help gather details in real time. Staff gave councillors an update on the municipal crisis communications plan on Monday. It lays out who is responsible for crafting and issuing messages, and what should happen in the first hour of an emergency. The main principles of the plan say the Halifax Regional Municipality should share information quickly, in plain language, and explain the exact actions residents must take if needed. Deputy Mayor Tony Mancini said he has come to realize, after being involved in multiple local crisis events, how important it is to release quick and accurate information. "When there are information gaps — boy, do residents fill up those gaps, and that can be dangerous. Very dangerous," Mancini said during the executive standing committee meeting. Lessons from recent emergencies like Hurricane Fiona and the Upper Tantallon wildfire also influenced the plan. "There was no … plan, quite frankly, in the previous responses. It was best effort," said Bill Moore, Halifax's commissioner of public safety. The plan said the provincial Alert Ready system should be used to send a message to all cellphones in times of "imminent life-threatening" events, like evacuation orders during natural disasters, air quality issues or chemical hazards. The city's hfxALERT system, which is subscriber-based and currently has about 44,500 people signed up, should be used for less pressing situations like upcoming weather events that might pose a "moderate" risk to residents. An incident in January when picric acid was discovered in Dartmouth marked the first time this crisis communications plan was used, staff said. The plan said one site with frequent updates — like a page on the city's website — should be prioritized, rather than employing a piecemeal approach across multiple channels. Coun. Cathy Deagle Gammon said when residents turn to councillors for information, it makes sense to share one page with the latest information, rather than crafting their own responses. "Information is gonna change and be fluid — it's hard to stay on top and be current when you're dealing with a crisis," Deagle Gammon said. Chief administrative officer Cathie O'Toole said Halifax also works closely with the province and its new Emergency Management Department. She said the province will start using artificial intelligence to gather "real-time situational awareness" during large emergency events by monitoring social media. Provincial spokesperson Patricia Jreige said the PC government is looking to buy Dataminr software that would monitor public social media accounts, or newsfeeds, from municipalities, police and weather organizations for emergency management topics like hurricanes, storms and floods. She said the tool won't be used to search private social media accounts on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and X. Jreige said the software costs about $15,000 a year and the province expects to begin using it this summer. She said the tool is part of the move to 24/7 monitoring at the provincial emergency co-ordination centre. The tool could also help address a recommendation from the Mass Casualty Commission that the province and Nova Scotia police agencies should run an education campaign to increase awareness about public warnings and how to respond to them, Jreige said. Staff told councillors on Monday that Halifax Water now has the ability to send its own intrusive provincial alerts without waiting for HRM, and the utility now has a policy dealing with boil-water advisories after public backlash over how recent incidents were handled. Halifax Fire, Halifax Regional Police and Halifax RCMP can also send provincial alerts without going through HRM if an update must be shared as quickly as possible. A consultant's report from 2024 said Halifax's various emergency documents and policies evolved in an "ad hoc manner over decades," and the city should update those plans across the board. A staff report to the committee Monday said some of these projects are underway, like a hazard risk vulnerability assessment, while a new comprehensive emergency management plan will be started soon.
