LinkedIn showcases big new AI features for workers, recruiters, marketers, and more

It was only a matter of time. After what seems like major AI announcements from every single big tech company in the last couple of weeks, LinkedIn finally lifted the curtain on a number of AI features it’s been cooking behind the scenes.

Here’s what’s new and how you can use it:

• A new “learning coach” is coming to LinkedIn Learning. The chatbot will help users learn soft skills, like teaching them how to delegate their work effectively.

• The career coach chatbot will provide specific feedback based on skills, job titles, and career goals.

• Recruiter 2024 is a new AI-powered assistant that will help recruiters find stronger candidates.

• A new tool for marketers called Accelerate will help with the technical side of running campaigns.

• New AI features for salespeople will help them find and surface better B2B leads in their searches.

Some features like Recruiter 2024 will be tested with a select group of customers before being rolled out widely.
