As AI continues to evolve, we all want to know how to work symbiotically with it to serve our clients in the best way possible.

To speak to us on the topic, we’re excited to welcome our May 6th presenter, Sumanta Chakraborty, co-founder and CEO of nSpire AI, whose vision includes Theo the AI Career Coach (currently being used by students and alums from Purdue, UCLA, etc.), as well as Synthia the AI Recruiter (currently in early beta). 

Sumanta will discuss how AI can revolutionize career services by delivering scalable, personalized interview practice and professional development support beyond traditional office hours. He’ll tell us how AI-powered analytics help career counselors identify skill gaps and track outcomes, leading to more effective guidance. Sumanta will address implementation strategies that blend technology with human expertise, where AI handles initial practice while counselors provide deeper support. Drawing from nSpire AI’s experience in the field, he will also cover best practices for ensuring these tools promote diversity and inclusion through diverse training data, accessibility features, culturally competent feedback, and regular bias audits.

Be sure to join us on May 6th to learn how this integration can expand your service reach while maintaining the essential human connection in career development.
