LinkedIn is working on a new AI tool that could make job hunting easier and more efficient, according to a new leak. The tool, called LinkedIn Coach, is a chatbot that can assist users with various aspects of their career development, such as applying for jobs, learning new skills, and networking with others.

App researcher Nima Owji has shared a screenshot of the tool on Twitter, showing some of the questions that users can ask the chatbot. For example, users can ask about the work culture of a specific company, such as Microsoft, which owns LinkedIn.

The feature is currently in testing and has not been officially announced by the company.

The screenshot shared by Owji suggests users ask the chatbot things like “How does Coach work?” or “What is the culture of Microsoft?” It seems inevitable that AI-powered assistants would eventually find their way to the professional social platform, given that it is a subsidiary of Microsoft.

LinkedIn has been investing heavily in generative AI it seems — coach is not the first AI-powered feature that the platform has introduced. The company has been constantly adding generative AI features that can help users create and improve their profiles, resumes, and cover letters. For instance, LinkedIn has a resume builder tool that can generate a resume based on the user’s profile information. It also has a cover letter assistance tool that can provide suggestions and examples for writing a cover letter.
