Google Labs Launches Portraits: AI Coaching Avatars Built with Real Experts Like Kim Scott

Portraits: Personalized AI Coaching with Real Experts Google Labs has introduced Portraits, a novel experiment that allows users to engage in conversational interactions with AI-powered representations of trusted experts. The first Portrait features Kim Scott, the bestselling author of "Radical Candor," providing AI-driven coaching based on her well-known communication and leadership philosophies. Imagine being able to receive direct guidance from Kim Scott to navigate challenging workplace scenarios or to practice tough conversations. All you need to do is ask your questions, and the AI Portrait will use Google's advanced Gemini technology to generate insightful and relevant responses. These insights are drawn directly from Kim's content, ensuring that the advice is authentic and tailored to her area of expertise. The AI communicates in Kim's voice through an illustrated avatar, creating a personalized and engaging experience. What sets Portraits apart is its collaboration with real-world experts.

This foundation ensures that conversations remain focused and relevant, offering users genuinely valuable advice and guidance. We have conducted extensive testing and incorporated user feedback mechanisms to proactively identify and address any potential issues.
