The document summarizes Quiver, a Google Docs extension that aims to help busy college students efficiently complete multiple cover letters. It does this by automatically importing important company information and finding company news to incorporate into letters. User testing showed high satisfaction with autofilling fields but low satisfaction with the news feature. Suggested improvements include more instructions, adding more companies to choose from, improving news summaries using APIs, and allowing users to choose articles. A mock-up of MVP 2 shows potential improvements like search, an instructions tab, and a better interface for selecting news articles.

spend googling their address.”

5. Shortcomings and Solutions
Shortcoming Solution
First time using autofill fields is unintuitive Provide more understandable instructions tab
Not enough variety of companies to choose from. Add more companies in the dropdown or implement
search tool
News feature provides very simple summaries which
is not very impressive.
Add more flushed out article summaries using
summarizer APIs.
News doesn’t allow user to choose the article Add a better interface for article choices
