Practical Tips for Writing Better Letter of Recommendation

As a professor who has written many recommendation letters, I’ve learned that clear facts and a personal touch make all the difference. These tips can guide you in using the tool more effectively and refining the draft into something truly your own.

  • πŸ“Š Use numbers: Add measurable results, such as β€œimproved lab accuracy by 15%.”
  • 🌍 Select language carefully: Choose the language that suits the application setting.
  • βš–οΈ Balance creativity: Keep it around level 5 for formal tone; go higher only if you need variety.

πŸ”Ž Reviewing & Personalizing the Draft

  • πŸ’¬ Adjust the tone: Rewrite phrases so they reflect your own voice.
  • 🀝 Add personal insight: Share short stories or examples from your real experience with the candidate.

⚠️ Limitations & How to Handle Them

The AI Letter of Recommendation Generator can speed up drafting, but like any tool it has boundaries. Here are the most common issues you may face, with clear reasons and fixes.

⚠️ Limitation / Issue Why It Happens How to Fix
Facts not verified AI cannot check grades, dates, or job titles User must supply correct details and review output
Generic wording Input lacks specific evidence or achievements Add project names, metrics, or clear examples before generating
Style mismatch Default tone leans neutral and may not fit recommender’s voice Edit key sentences; select the most relevant style option
Language nuance gaps Regional idioms and cultural context can vary Choose β€œGlobal” style or adjust wording manually for locale
Length not ideal Default is 3–5 short paragraphs Manually trim or expand based on application requirements
Formatting issues Some portals strip bold or styled text Export as plain text; keep line breaks simple
Technical errors Browser quirks or rare generation failures Retry; if repeated, use Report Bug with details
Privacy concerns AI drafts only from entered data, not stored or shared Exclude unnecessary sensitive information; privacy is guaranteed

FAQs

Will the tool verify grades, dates, or achievements?

No. The tool only organizes the information you provide. You must supply accurate facts and confirm they are correct before using the letter.

Can the AI write the entire letter without my input?

No. It creates a draft from the details you enter. Human review and personal adjustments are essential to ensure the letter reflects real experience and context.

How do I make the draft sound more personal?

After generating, add your own phrases, small stories, or observations. This ensures the letter sounds authentic and matches your relationship with the candidate.

Is my input stored or shown publicly?

No. Your input is used only to create the draft and is not stored, shared, or shown publicly. Privacy is guaranteed.

What if the generated text feels too generic?

Generic results usually come from limited input. Add specific details such as project names, dates, or measurable outcomes, then regenerate the draft.

Can I choose different writing styles?

Yes. There are 9 styles, including Academic, Manager, Colleague, and Global. Each changes tone and focus so the draft fits its intended use.

What languages does the tool support?

The tool supports 33 languages. You can select one before generating the draft to ensure the letter fits the application setting.

Will the AI sign or submit the letter?

No. The final responsibility remains with the human recommender. The AI can only help prepare a draft; the recommender must review, finalize, and sign.

What if I face technical issues?

If errors occur or output is incomplete, try again. If the issue continues, use the Report Bug option with a short note or screenshot. A support member will respond to assist you.

Creator’s Note

The AI Letter of Recommendation Generator was created with a simple idea: writing a strong letter should not start from a blank page. It should begin with structure and clarity, then be refined by the recommender’s own judgment and voice.

This tool does not replace the human role. It supports recommenders and applicants by drafting organized text based on the facts you provide. The final responsibility always rests with the person who knows the candidate, adds authentic observations, and signs the letter.

In this way, AI acts as a helper, not an author. The collaboration is clear: AI builds the framework, humans bring the truth and trust.
