What Skills Will the Certificates Cover?
Lovable and Replit are coding apps, so certificates from them will indicate that someone has AI experience with software coding or debugging.
In contrast, Relay.app is for creating and maintaining AI agents for dedicated tasks like personal assistance or social marketing — so a skills certification from Relay.app indicates a wider application beyond companies that create code as a part of their workflow.
LinkedIn is positioning the new feature as just one of a series of ways to tell who actually has the AI skills that are in demand right now:
“This is less about replacing any of those other existing signals, and more about showing new ways that people are doing work. And how do we give a verifiable signal to both hirers and other people looking at their profile, that they actually are using these tools on a regular basis.” – Pat Whealan, Head of Career Products at LinkedIn
Another platform, the video and podcast editor Descript, is also included in the new integration, giving users a chance to show off their media editing knowledge in addition to AI coding experience.
