Career Coach · by Lilypad

Ready for a change? Where do you start?

Turn your AI into a career coach. It learns what you want from work, helps you test one small step at a time, and keeps a true record of what happened.

1Mention it

Say where you are, in your own words.

Mention Career Coach in a chat, or let your AI bring it in when your work comes up. You never open an app. Your AI does the work for you.

What Career Coach gives your AI

  • Coaching toolsGoals, small tests, drafts, and practice.
  • Your career memoryFacts, results, and document versions that stay saved.
  • Eight coaching pathsDirection, resume, search, networking, interviews, offers, and growth.

@Career Coach I've taught for 8 years. I think I want UX design. Where do I start?
Using Career Coach

Let's start with what you want from work. Then we test one path small, before you commit.

2It learns what you want

It learns what you want from work.

A short form covers your work now, what you want, and your limits. "Not sure yet" is a good answer. Nothing saves until you review it.

3Test a path

Test a path before you leap.

Each path is a guess to test, not a verdict. Staying in your role is on the map too. Pick one path and learn what you don't know yet.

Career Coach never tells you which career fits. It helps you find out with small, real tests.

4One next step

Then it picks one step that fits your week.

Not a five year plan. One step, sized to the time you chose, with a clear way to know it's done.

Career Coach drafts the message. You decide whether to send it. It never sends anything for you.

5Tell it

Do it. Tell it what happened.

Say it in the chat. Career Coach saves each result as you report it. Done, partly done, and skipped stay separate, so the record stays true.

Talked to Lena and Omar. Finished the course. Redesigned the school sign up form. No portfolio page yet.

6It adapts

The plan adapts to your career.

What you report changes the next step, and the card shows why. Come back in any chat, months later. It remembers where you left off.

How do I connect Career Coach?

You sign in with Google or Apple when your AI first connects. It works in AI assistants that support remote MCP servers, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Muse. In ChatGPT, search the app directory for Career Coach by Lilypad.

Coaching with clear limits

Career Coach is an AI assisted educational coaching tool for adults age 18 and older. Source review is performed by AI, not an independent professional assessment. It does not guarantee a job, an interview, an offer, or a promotion. It does not search job boards or salary data, submit applications, send messages, or accept offers for you. It does not give legal, tax, or immigration advice.

Calendar events, reminders, browsing, and document export depend on separate host capabilities and authorization. Saving a plan does not schedule it. Career Coach keeps text records only. Saved records stay after you disconnect. Contact support for data requests.
