YouTube is expanding its creative toolkit with:

✨ AI-generated stickers for Shorts – turn your imagination into custom stickers.
✨ Image stickers – upload directly from your camera roll.
✨ Live sticker polls – engage your audience in real time with interactive overlays.

For brands and creators, these updates mean more engagement, personalization, and fun ways to stand out in Shorts and live streams.

AI stickers are rolling out in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, and Australia (more regions soon), while live poll stickers will be available globally in the coming weeks.

👉 Could this shift how you approach Shorts and live engagement?

Two big updates you should know about:

✅ Duolingo Integration – Professionals can now display their verified Duolingo language scores directly on their LinkedIn profile. No more “self-declared” fluency—recruiters can see your real, evolving language skills.

✅ AI-Powered Interview Simulations – LinkedIn Premium members can now practice with tailored mock interviews, based on actual job descriptions. This means less anxiety, smarter prep, and sharper performance.

Both features give professionals more credibility and confidence—whether it’s proving language skills or acing interviews.

According to Semrush (Aug 2025 data):

🔍 Google still dominates with 21B+ visits

What does that tell us?

LLMs trust authentic, community-driven conversations over polished marketing copy.

So if AI isn’t mentioning your brand as “the best {thing}”… it’s likely because nobody is saying it where LLMs look.

Here’s how to fix it:

1️⃣ Build a presence in relevant subreddits
2️⃣ Share value through guides, answers, AMAs
3️⃣ Encourage customers to post real experiences

👉 If you want AI to recognize your brand, you can’t just post on LinkedIn—you need to show up where the conversations happen.
