3 career chats lead to 1 job referral.

We are obsessed with career chats because they work. When jobseekers have real conversations, referrals follow — along with a great deal of career insight the job boards never give them.

So what is this irreverent AI experience called Goldi?

We believe the best thing a jobseeker can do is talk to people — to clarify a career direction, to learn about a job they’re curious about, or to get referrals. Using Goldi is a Socratic experience that teaches jobseekers how to introduce themselves, find professionals on LinkedIn, and simulate career conversations, so the human interaction goes well.

AI is going to help me build human relationships?

Yes. It’s a wacky thing to build, and it works. Talking to people is the best bet — but many of us are too scared reach out and ask for a conversation.

​An AI tool will not reach out or talk to people for you, but it can help you learn to introduce yourself, ask good questions, practice interviews and career chats, make a Goldilocks Ask, and stay in touch.

“A stranger complimented my jacket. Before, I would have just said thank you. This time, I started a conversation, and she turned out to be a clinical psychology professor who now mentors me!”

“I was always so anxious about networking. I hated feeling like I needed something from people. Practicing with Goldi gave me confidence, and two career chats led to two job opportunities I didn’t know existed!”
