‘You are my business coach’: More workers use AI for career advice
Summary
Communications worker Suzanne Selkow launched an AI career coach using Anthropic's Claude to help navigate decision paralysis and create a business plan. This trend is supported by research from The Conference Board, which found that 96% of workers felt AI provided customized coaching. While some senior employees note that junior staff frequently use AI for daily career questions, users emphasize that the technology serves as a supplemental tool rather than a replacement for human mentorship. The AI helps fill gaps in professional advice that human mentors might not have the time or inclination to address.
