Description of the video:
Hello everyone.
Today I'm going to showcase the front
end of our IU Career Branding co-pilot, which
is aimed at bridging the gaps between
being completely lost in your career
journey and actually going to a career
coach. It's not aimed to replace the career
coach, of course, but just be more
prepared when you go, having a
better idea of what your accomplishments
mean and R and just better
wording overall. So right here, I've
provided an example of just a random IU
student. I'm a junior, IU Bloomington, studying
informatics, minor in marketing, and then
they have some other experience like designing
a campus event app, SRSC front
desk, leadership roles, et cetera. So what it's going
to do is give us an overview of what I just
said, and then it's going to ask you a step
deeper. When were you working on that campus
event project, and what did you actually
do that made the team work better? So the
important part of our GPT is that it asks
follow-up questions to better understand what
we actually did, and not just generalize or
assume a lot of things that a normal AI
program might do. So we like to be very
precise with this and we
don't want, uh, we want to be
honest, but we also want to
uplift our users. So I give a response.
I talk about, I ended up becoming
the person who kept everyone aligned. We
had different roles, uh, et cetera. And just kind of
positioning myself more as like a
project manager. And it's going to
reflect what I just said. And then this
is where it starts to give us better
wording. So instead of saying I'm interested
in tech and business, like I most likely
would if I was studying informatics and
marketing, I could say I help technical
and non-technical teams understand each
other and actually move forward, which
is an actual skill that this student
has, but may not have realized how to
word it in that way. so yeah and that's
going to ask more follow -up questions what part
of the world do you enjoy most when people
describe you as calm under pressure you know
stuff like that and i do respond and then
it gives me more of a brand identity statement
an overview and if you ask it a question
that's more not what it's asking and like
hey i want this i want this now it's going to
kind of slow you down a little bit uh it seems
i'm going to redirect you if you jump
straight into what job should I apply for? You'll
end up picking titles that sound right, but
don't actually fit your work. So it's going
to go into it more, but it does give me a
bit of some ideas like project coordination,
um, and stuff like that. But it is going
to make sure I don't fall into the trap of
just looking at job titles and actually finding
a job that fits me. Um, and yeah, so it
keeps going and you can go as far as you want
but that is the baseline and I'm going to now
hand it over to my teammate V who will
show you the back end. Thank you for that
Anthony. By clicking into the career branding
co-pilot settings and then navigating into
the configure section as we can see here we're
able to manipulate the instructions resources
and format of the responses that the co
-pilot outputs. So the most important section
is this instruction section where we've
emphasized the foundational guardrails of the co
-pilot. So it is not a replacement for a real
career coach and that its scope as written
here is only for personal career branding
rather than more detailed life decisions. Other
details include tone, which major responds
to what school, just in case the co-pilot
doesn't know that aspect, and instructions
to provide real IU links in case the user asks
for it. And we've also added multiple preset
conversation starters as shown here in case
students don't know where to start or to
at least provide an example as to what
kind of conversational format is most productive
when using this co -pilot. It was important
for us to make sure that the co-pilot was
created with IU for IU. Thus, all of our
sources, which are found here if you scroll
down, are from IU itself or at least
deemed credible by IU. We've put a specific
emphasis on the personal brand
booklet as shown here, as it's what we've
decided to use as the core of our co
-pilot's purpose. It's going to direct
all users in a format similar
to this document. We know it works.
It's constantly used in the Kelly
School of Business. And it's small enough
scope that, you know, it's not going to
overreach on to career coaches or any of
their responsibilities. So that's the majority
of our back. And there are a few other
things that we can go through, such as,
you know, our search history and our
description. But the most important and vital
part of it are these instructions, which
we've tailored multiple times over the course
of our prompt testing and our user testing
so that's the back end and that's our
career pilot thank you
