Automated Cover Letter Generator with Indeed Job Scraping and GPT-4o-mini

This workflow automates the process of writing tailored cover letters for job applications. It:

1. Uses Apify’s Indeed Scraper to pull live job postings based on your chosen search term.
2. Sends the job description along with your resume into OpenAI, which writes an optimized cover letter — one paragraph plus bullet points — only using details from your resume.

Perfect for quickly generating professional, customized cover letters for each role you want to apply to.
