What’s the best way to guide beginners into tech — without overwhelming them?

I'm building a free career bot that helps people explore IT professions and try short intro courses. It’s aimed at total beginners — people who want to switch careers but have no idea where to start.

The challenge: people often don’t know what to ask or what to expect. They don’t even know the difference between QA, frontend, or product manager — so even choosing a path is confusing.

If you’ve built tools for beginners — or have experience mentoring career switchers — I’d love to hear your thoughts:

What worked best to reduce the feeling of “I’m lost”?

Should we offer fewer options — or show everything at once and let them explore?

How would you help someone find the right fit in tech?

You can try the bot here, if curious — feedback is very welcome:
