Section 1
The premise
AI is a strong sparring partner for drafting and rehearsing negotiation language, but its salary numbers are stale and unreliable; pair it with live sources like Levels.fyi or Glassdoor.
What AI does well here
- Drafting counter-offer scripts that stay collaborative and non-defensive
- Listing all the levers in a comp package beyond base salary
- Helping you articulate your value in dollar terms
- Role-playing the recruiter side so you can practice responses
What AI cannot do
- Provide current salary data — its training cutoff is months or years old
- Know what this specific company has paid recent hires at this level
- Predict how a particular recruiter will react to a specific number
