"“I figured that was actually a practical use case for an LLM -to be able to take some of those bigger-picture ideas that I had workshopped with a human coach, and turn it into a week-by-week [business] plan,” she says."
"“Now months into her solo career, Selkow, 36, says she still turns to her AI career coach for certain mentorship-style tasks, like direction for what tone to use with clients.”"
"“Per 2025 research from business-focused think tank The Conference Board, 96% of workers felt AI was able to give them ‘customized’ coaching, while 91% who had used AI for career coaching said they would use it again.”"
"“Junior folks are using AI for career questions very often; I'd say every day,” says Jasmine Singh, general counsel at the legal tech company Ironclad. “Whether they would have turned to more senior folks for those questions or not . . . is the debatable part.”"
A communications worker started a solo consulting practice and created an AI career coach using Anthropic’s Claude to reduce decision paralysis and convert big-picture ideas into a week-by-week business plan. She continues to use the AI for mentorship-style tasks such as choosing the tone to use with clients. Research from The Conference Board reports that most workers believe AI can provide customized coaching and that many users would use it again for career coaching. Senior employees observe frequent daily use of AI by junior workers for career questions. Users describe AI as supplemental to human mentorship, helping fill gaps rather than replacing interpersonal professional growth.
