Startups and large technological companies have aggressively used AI to help developers write code or better learn programming. People used chatbots to prepare different scenarios in Life, like interviews. The technological evaluation platform Codesignal, which introduced a learning platform for technical subjects with AI assistants last year, launched gently skills courses on its platform To practice different professional skills and work-life scenarios.
The company thinks that historically, only the best brass from different organizations could afford to hire an expensive executive coach for skills in the fields of leadership and communication. Using different models of AI, Codesignal has created a stack of practice and learning to make the skills and knowledge of a coach available to the masses.
Tigran Solyan, CEO of codesignal, said that companies hire non -technical people in large numbers. Thus, he saw an opportunity to train these people in different areas of their professional life.
“With the advancement of the generator, we have seen the opportunity to unlock a whole new world of general skills, in particular leadership training, sales training and learning negotiation tactics. We believe that practical training is the best way to learn a skill, and that is why after introducing technical training, we examine this new area, ”Tigran Solyan, CEO of Codesignal.
Codesignal launched more than 100 courses on its platform, with subjects covering areas such as the effective management of individual meetings, the strategic evaluation of leadership, the evaluation of the behavioral profile, the evaluation of the skills for sale and Improving public speaking.
Users can select one of these courses or ask the AI assistant to find them and start practicing different scenarios depending on the description. You can use the voice to speak to the IA character in the simulation. The company has developed its own vocal battery for this instead of using a standard solution such as Elevenlabs conversational agent platform, as it thought that the development of the internal solution will reduce costs in the long term . Once your conversation is finished, the AI guide assistant that you give you advice on your cat and helps you in the fields of improvement.
Whenever you ask for the assistant’s help to give you comments, you lose an energy bar from an energy counter. Free users – which represent 90% of the song – receive only a limited energy bar per day. Users can unlock an unlimited cat with the AI assistant by paying costs of $ 24.99.
When people finish successful practices and courses, they progress at different levels of competence in this skill marked by development, intermediaries, advanced and experts.
Codesignal also offers corporate plans where he designs specific courses to a company using his knowledge base and cultural values. Solyan said that in personalized courses, companies can also opt for the IA character to have different personalities to help professionals practice different real situations.
However, there is a question of cooking in cultural sensitivity based on the location and corporate culture. If it is not cooked in lessons, they could create an unpleasant experience for employees.
Sumit Singla, an HR consultant based in India, said that AI could suggest being asserted in some cases, but in some places, which could be frowned upon.
“The AI could encourage” radical franchise “in the comments, but in cultures where indirect communication is preferred, it could turn against it. The tool can misinterpret humor, sarcasm or culturally specific expressions, leading to clumsy or incorrect responses in training, “said Singla.
He thinks that AI could be useful for practicing certain skills in a low pressure environment. However, there is a chance that the tool has no emotional intelligence or contextual consciousness in certain cases.
“In training, one of the things we do is called” reading the room “. The AI will not be able to adapt to different types of personality, work environments or leadership styles. The development of general skills is highly personalized and AI may not always give comments to the context, ”noted Singla.
Solyan said that when the company works with different customers, he tries to cook in a large part of the cultural context and the personality in experiences, but he admitted that it was an iterative process. He said that Codesignal also builds cultural models when it starts to operate in different places and regions.
The startup, supported by Menlo Ventures and Index Ventures, is not the only one to use AI to acquire general skills. Microsoft LinkedIn has also experienced the use of AI -powered tools for the prices of this segment. Codesignal mainly engages with users on its website, and the company plans to launch iOS and Android applications later this year to extend its scope.
