AI Career Index vs Gloat

Gloat runs the internal talent marketplace. The AI Career Index runs the structural readiness diagnostic. They sit at different layers of the people stack and work well together.

Gloat is the market-leading internal talent marketplace. It maps the skills of every employee, matches them to open internal projects, gigs, and roles, and surfaces a mobility graph across the organisation. It is an operational tool for moving people to where the organisation needs them.

The AI Career Index measures something different. It is a structural readiness diagnostic: how exposed is the existing workforce to AI compression, how much authority density sits inside the current org, and where is the structural drift that will show up in attrition or cost pressure within 12 months. It operates upstream of mobility decisions, not alongside them.
