Selection
Draft from a text selection
Highlight text on a page, open Reachly, pick a purpose, and generate a scored draft from your profile — the same Selection workspace shown in the popup.
Open this page
A non-platform tab with at least 80 characters highlighted
What you get
- Selection draft studio in the popup header
- Purpose chips (cover letter, reply, bid, and more)
- Fit score, matched skills, edit, revise, and copy
When Selection opens
Reachly opens Selection when you are signed in, the active tab is not a first-class platform, and the highlighted text is long enough.
- 1Stay off Freelancer, Upwork, Guru, LinkedIn, and Reddit — those tabs open their own workspaces instead.
- 2Stay off detected job listings (Indeed, LinkedIn Jobs, Greenhouse, and similar). Those open Job details.
- 3Highlight at least 80 characters on the page. A title or one short sentence is usually too short.
- 4Keep that tab focused and click the Reachly icon. The header shows Selection with a “From this tab” label.
Typical Selection tabs: Gmail or Outlook on the web, Notion, Google Docs, newsletters, chat briefs, and company pages that are not a job listing URL.
Gmail is not its own Reachly platform. Highlight the thread or job text, then open the extension.
Generate a draft
- 1Confirm the popup shows your highlighted text under Draft studio. If you see “No text selected”, highlight again and tap Retry.
- 2Pick a purpose chip. Changing purpose clears the current draft so the next generate matches the new intent.
- 3Tap Generate. You get a fit score, matched skills, and a draft written from your resume.
- 4Edit in the popup, or use Revise with a short instruction. Copy, then paste where you will send it.
The character counter defaults to 1,500 (same default as Freelancer). Generate and revise each use one AI credit.
Purposes
- Cover letter — application letter from a pasted or highlighted role description.
- Job application — fuller application copy for the selected listing text.
- Reply — a response to the selected message or thread.
- Proposal / bid — a freelance bid when you are not on Freelancer, Upwork, or Guru.
- Follow-up — a short nudge after earlier outreach.
- Cold email — outbound mail from the selected context.
If Selection does not appear
- The highlight is under 80 characters — select the full paragraph or job body.
- You clicked the extension on LinkedIn, Reddit, Freelancer, Upwork, or Guru — those sites always open their own studio.
- The URL looks like a job listing, so Job details opened instead. Analyse there (no credit), or copy the description to another page if you need Selection.
- You are not signed in, or the profile has no resume yet.
