the issue with using ai for this is that it often makes you sound uncomfortably robotic to the hiring manager. if they can tell a bot wrote your follow-up, it feels like you aren't actually interested in the role. i think the templates are fine as long as you manually inject specific details from the actual conversation. >"just use ai for structure" is dangerous advice because it strips out the human element that gets you hired. i once got rejected specifically because my thank you note sounded too much like a generic linkedin automation. where are you finding these templates?

i've been using it to draft the initial structure, but i always manually tweak the specific technical details from our conversation. if you just copy-paste a generic prompt output, the hiring manager will notice the lack of nuance immediately. i use a custom instruction set that tells the model to avoid flowery adjectives and stick to a professional, concise tone.
>the "hallucination" risk is real with follow ups

if the ai hallucinates a skill or a project milestone you didn't actually discuss, you're basically sabotaging your own candidacy . i find it best to feed it my actual notes from the interview via piping them into a markdown file first. do you use a specific prompt template for the persona adjustment?
