SOP builder for graduate applications
FluxResume SOP lives under Documents. Smart Mode collects destination, story, evidence, and the school's prompt, then Generate writes a draft you edit.
SOP (Statement of Purpose) is for graduate and academic applications, not a job-application cover letter. It lives on the Documents hub next to Resumes and Cover Letters. How-to: SOP. Product page: https://fluxresume.io/sop-generator/.
Cover letters are a different document type. Use Cover Letter when you are applying to a job. Shared search, date filters, and card menus are on Documents.
Hub
Open Documents (Profile) → SOP. Add SOP in the toolbar or New SOP on the dashed card. Date filter and Search documents... narrow the list. Open a card to edit.
Smart Mode, then the canvas
Left side is the form: SOP name, university, degree, term, word limit, tone, story, evidence. Flux Chat sits next to the form if you would rather edit in conversation. The canvas is the statement itself. Word count under the page looks like Words: 878 / 1000 when a limit is set. Save SOP, Download, and Editor / Preview share the header row.
Before Generate (or Regenerate on an existing draft), fill:
- Academic Destination
- Your Story
- Evidence & Background (pull bullets from your resume with Pick More)
- Research Alignment
- Program Prompt (paste the school's actual SOP question)
Set a realistic Word Limit first so the draft aims at the range instead of a 2,000-word essay you then cut. Humanize is for after text exists; it softens AI tone. It is not a substitute for changing university or prompt. For a new school, change the form and Regenerate rather than surgically rewriting last week's draft.
Plan gating is the same as other Documents tabs: the SOP tab only appears when SOP is on for your plan.
