Hi Product Hunt People! 👋 I’d like you to meet Coach, your AI career coach. I’m Jared Chung, Founder and CEO of CareerVillage.org, the nonprofit organization that brings you Coach. Since 2011, CareerVillage.org has served millions of online learners through our open-access Q&A platform that crowdsources career information and advice from real-life professionals (think Reddit for career info). 💡We had been integrating AI into our platform in small ways since 2021, but by March 2023, we realized we could use AI to further scale impact and provide access to high-quality career guidance to many, many more people, particularly youth and adults who have not historically had much access to career support. That’s how Coach was born. 🚀By July 2023, the key was in the ignition. For the past 13 months, our team has worked so hard to bring this tool to life: Coach’s 30+ research-backed career development activities are now available and totally free for anyone to try! 🌎Our vision is for learners everywhere to have access to personalized, high-quality career support. V1 Coach is chat-based, but new features to improve the tool and make it truly multimodal and globally accessible are already in the pipeline. 🤝Our Coach coalition of 20+ industry leaders and career development experts (think: educational institutions, workforce boards, and non-profits) is a huge reason we’ve been able to do build this tool responsibly, safely, and effectively for learners. Our coalition has offered critical advisory support, provided product feedback, and shared their catalog of resources and services with Coach's recommendation library. It also helped get Coach into classrooms for testing with hundreds of students and educators from diverse communities across the US and around the world. 👫Coach is truly made for everyone, from students to job-seekers. It’s designed to help you navigate your career readiness journey through activities focused on career exploration, skills development, post-secondary and job prep. 🎉 I’m thrilled to be announcing the launch of Coach, and I couldn’t be prouder of the team behind this tool that has worked so hard to create a piece of technology that will help make career readiness accessible to every learner! Thanks for stopping by to hear about Coach…. Now go give it a try and let us know what you think! ⬇️

Congrats on the launch, @jaredchung! I'm curious, how does Coach personalize recommendations for users? Can it adapt to different career paths?

@emilygracethompson Thank you! I answered a similar question in a different comment, so apologies for the repetition, but how Coach can personalize recs and engagement is largely the result of three things: (1) how our team has trained the AI (2) a resource library that we call the Educational Resource Database (ERD), which includes resources from our 20+ partners (educational institutions, workforce boards, other workforce-focused nonprofits) as well as CareerVillage threads (3) the use of activities and modules to organize the way a user interacts with Coach Coach can also remember things like your career goals and interests, in order to better tailor engagement. And, yes, the tool can absolutely provide career-specific advice! And soon, we expect it to get even better, for example, by tailoring guidance that's relevant to your local/regional labor market!
