Hey Elfen! Founder here -- thank you. :) We're always looking to hone in our pitch and improve the product. If you or anyone else here has feedback, let me know.
Can we get a shift + Enter to submit the main chat text field?
Does that work for you?
I also provide private career advisory/coaching and resume services to many in the tech sector, and I'm a mod on a Reddit sub that answers compsci career questions (r/cscareerquestions), so this caught my eye. The biggest question I generally have with services like this is "who is providing the advice?". We have an issue in our Reddit sub, where there is little transparency (obviously due to anonymous accounts) as t…
We have trained career coaches on staff, an advisory board for coaching, and an extensive network of experts who are within reach.
Through all of this, each conversation acts as a knowledge base that we can pre-fill. We brought in tens of industry experts across product management, design, software engineering, marketing, and more to give crash courses, which were then put into the database as well.
We're still refining our coaching process, as what works for one individual doesn't always work for another.
I'd be interested in chatting in more detail. Can you reach out? :) -> zach@getboost.io

Hey Fecak! Fantastic -- and important -- question. We have trained career coaches on staff, an advisory board for coaching, and an extensive network of experts who are within reach.

How will you scale (if intended)? Why I ask: Wondering if bots or customer support staff can really support this use case.
Hey there! We're looking to scale this in a similar way as Facebook M -- where our coaches on staff have control over specific bots with specific purposes, and can leverage an entire world of data/knowledge to quickly craft personalized responses. At $59/month, unit economics should work as we develop better tech. But for now we're certainly prioritizing quality over speed. :)
Really cool idea, but I don't know why I would pay a (relatively large) monthly fee for a service that I probably need twice a year, around both my performance reviews.
Boost can do things that help you daily or weekly such as:
- Review communications (inbound and outbound) - Help you develop new skills and stay up to date - Assist you with targeted networking - And much more.
Overall, this is a service that can refine every aspect of your professional life. People who only think about refining their habits and practices twice a year are not aiming towards their potential. The bare minimum is too often accepted as normal -- we want to change that.
How insecure and in need of validation someone needs to be to seek career advice from a chatbot four times a month?
Roll eyes . I'm sorry but this is a ridiculous idea. I can see potential use for this once or twice a year, and even at that I wouldn't reach out to anyone unless I know them personally.
