Goldi FAQ

Goldi is an AI Career Coach that helps you think through your interests, strengths, and goals as they relate to social capital and career opportunities. Unlike ChatGPT and other AI tools, it doesn't just give you answers — it asks you questions that help you figure out the answers yourself. It'll help you craft powerful introductions for building connections, preparing for interviews, and tackling job searches.

It's a fair question — AI does use energy, and we'd rather be upfront about that. Here's what's worth knowing: a Goldi chat is a short text conversation, not video or image generation. Research suggests one AI text response generates about as much carbon as sending a few emails. It's also worth comparing it to the alternative — in-person career coaching typically costs $100–$300 a session and involves commuting and office space. Goldi makes that kind of support available to students who otherwise couldn't access it. We think using AI for something genuinely useful — like helping you figure out your next career step — is worth it.

Start with the first chat in your assigned program. Your program page shows the recommended order — follow it for the best experience.

Which chats you have depends on your program — core chats vary from one to the next — but if the LinkedIn chapter is part of yours, that's the place to focus. Complete "Get Started on LinkedIn," then, in "Make New Connections on LinkedIn," Goldi will help you find people at organizations where you'd like to land a role, and reach out to them in a way that actually gets responses. If you don't see the LinkedIn chapter in your program, ask your instructor which of your chats covers outreach and building a network.

Explore "Ask Open-Ended Questions," "Active Listening," and "Navigate Fears Around Making an Ask."

Goldi guides you on what to do after a career chat in "Find Ways to Stay in Touch" and "Build Long-Term Professional Connections."

Each chat is 10–20 minutes. Most programs include 6–12 chats. You can do them at your own pace — we often recommend breaking them up into three separate chats but do whatever fits your schedule.

Absolutely! Now is the perfect time to build your network. Developing authentic relationships takes time, so start while you're in school. Connect with faculty, staff, administrators, and professionals you meet through internships or career exploration. These connections can become mentors and supporters when you're ready to job search or prepare to transfer to a 4-year college or university.

Yes! The core principles work for everyone. Goldi automatically tailors the examples, success stories, and strategies to address your unique challenges and opportunities.

That's exactly who Goldi is built for. Networking doesn't have to be awkward. Goldi teaches you a natural, low-pressure approach to building professional relationships — one conversation at a time.

Everyone starts somewhere. Goldi helps you identify the connections you already have — professors, alumni, classmates, former coworkers — and shows you how to reach out in a way that feels authentic.
