Three steps from preference to approval
Every step is approval-gated. Nothing exports, sends, or applies on your behalf without an explicit confirmation.
Get your daily briefing
Each morning the Daily Briefing Strategist agent reads your tracker, calendar, and proof bank — then surfaces the 2–3 actions worth doing today, ranked by leverage.
Map stories and act
Convert career moments into reusable STAR-format stories that feed your resume, interview prep, and salary negotiation workflows. One canonical proof bank, used everywhere.
What's actually here
Sub-features that make up this part of Career Stride. Each ships with the agent below.
Multi-mode chat
Five coach modes share context but specialize behavior — interview mode role-plays, salary mode does offer math, plan mode commits to dates.
Daily briefing
The Daily Briefing Strategist surfaces 2–3 high-leverage actions every morning, keyed to where your search stands today.
Story mapping
STAR-format proof bullets generated from your career moments. Reusable across resume, cover letter, interview, and negotiation.
Salary prep
Walks through comp ranges, BATNA, and counteroffer math. Drafts the email you actually have to send — for your approval.
Career plan
Week-by-week roadmap with dated commitments. The plan adapts as your search progresses or stalls.
Work-style fit
Surfaces questions to ask hiring managers about how you actually work best — async, synchronous, IC-heavy, leadership-heavy.
Career Accelerator coaches
Once you're in role, Maya can bring in specialists for check-ins, promotion case-building, work-style and values, and wellbeing. Same proof bank, new chapter.
Powered by 2 specialized agents
Career Stride is a 38-coach system. Every surface is owned by a named coach with a stable identity, telemetry, and per-coach cost accounting.
AI Agent

Common questions about this feature
Is this a real human coach?
No — these are AI coach modes. We chose AI because it scales to nightly availability, cross-session memory, and the ability to specialize five different lanes. A human coach can't review your tracker at 11pm.
Does the coach know my history?
Yes. The coach reads your proof bank, tracker, and prior chat history (within plan limits) so you don't repeat context every session.
What's the difference between Chat mode and Plan mode?
Chat is open-ended — bring any career question. Plan mode commits: it produces a dated week-by-week roadmap, then nudges you on follow-through. Use Chat to think, Plan to act.
Can I use the coach to negotiate an offer?
Salary mode walks through BATNA, comp ranges from public data, and counteroffer math. It drafts the email you'd send — but you send it yourself, after approving the language.
How does story mapping connect to the rest of the product?
Mapped stories live in your proof bank. The Resume Tailor pulls from them when tailoring resumes; the Interview Coach pulls from them when role-playing. One source of truth.
