LinkedIn is testing custom AI career coaches to answer questions like ‘How do I negotiate my salary’?
How do I negotiate my salary? LinkedIn recently introduced Expert AI, a coaching tool designed to connect users with customized chatbots based on renowned career experts and influencers. This initiative, launched as a pilot, features instructors like Alicia Reece, Anil Gupta, Dr. Gemma Leigh Roberts, and Lisa Gates. These experts offer guidance on various topics such as relationship management, global business strategy, well-being, and career development.
To create the tool, LinkedIn collaborated closely with these instructors, integrating their expertise from LinkedIn Learning courses, posts, blogs, newsletters, and coaching materials. The platform also implemented a royalty model to compensate instructors for their contributions.
Hari Srinivasan, VP of Product at LinkedIn, emphasized the authenticity of AI-powered responses, tailored to reflect each instructor’s teaching style and domain knowledge, ensuring a high-quality user experience.
During the pilot phase, LinkedIn users can seek advice on topics like salary negotiation and developing a growth mindset. The tool provides personalized guidance to help users cultivate a growth-centric mindset.
LinkedIn continues to expand its range of tools and features aimed at enhancing user engagement, including Wordle-inspired games, short-form videos for influencers, and AI-powered tools for recruiting and career development. These efforts underscore LinkedIn’s commitment to supporting professional growth and networking opportunities within its community.
Expert AI is currently accessible to LinkedIn Premium users, as well as those with access to LinkedIn Recruiter and Learning Hub. While details about its public rollout remain unspecified, the initiative promises to empower users in their pursuit of career advancement and personal development. Now is an opportune moment to harness these resources and nurture your ambitions on LinkedIn.
