The label on each card is set by the tool registry, not by marketing. It changes only when the generator or its review status changes.
A generator is switched on only when the document can be built from the facts you enter without asserting a legal rule, or when every legal statement it can add is backed by a rule that has reached the review status this site requires for that kind of document. Factual letters such as a rent reminder, a reference or a deposit request meet that test. Notices that can cost someone their home, such as a landlord's notice to vacate or a pay-or-quit notice, need a documented professional review of the exact rules first, and no such review has been recorded yet.
Today, Pet Addendum is available with limits. Landlord Notice to Vacate, Rent Increase Notice, Pay-or-Quit / Nonpayment Notice and Assistance-Animal Accommodation Request are guidance only: their pages explain what to check and link to official sources, with no download. The criteria, the review statuses and how often sources are rechecked are set out in the editorial policy, and the current status of every rule and source is listed on Sources and coverage.
Not sure which letter you need? The letter finder asks who you are, what you need to do and, if you want, your state, and shows the matching tool with its coverage note.
