Been experimenting with Boardy.ai - Searchfunder usecase?

I recently started experimenting with Boardy.ai to help expand my network and find key intros. Boardy is an AI agent that will call you and discuss your job, business, goals, challenges… etc, and then based on your conversations over time, make connections with the right people the ai believes to be a potentially synergistic connection.

I think there’s a compelling usecase for this in searching / m&a, deals, etc.. and wanted to share it as well as ask if anyone here has been thinking about using it in that way.

The conversation is smooth and impressive and the concept and business model is pretty novel. If you’re interested you can give it a try here by messaging boardy on linkedin with your email and phone number for an intro call. Interested to hear your thoughts…

I'm also interested to hear from anyone who has had experience with this tool in the ETA space. I have zero knowledge of it, and while it sounds interesting conceptually, I'm skeptical that it could deliver superior connections than a human could find. Personally, my gut reaction is if an AI agent is contacting me to propose a connection, that's a message I'll delete straight away. Yes, I know a lot of outreach is already automated and I delete 90+% of those unless the message includes a compelling (keyword there) reason to connect for a truly mutually (another keyword) beneficial conversation.

I've been using Boardy since June. I had one intro that was a fit for what I was looking for. I've had about 5- 7 intro offers for people that were not a fit at all. Not just the company, but people who weren't completely relevant to me. I did notice they recently pivoted to focusing on Fundraising intros which is smart for them since they had way too broad of a scope. I used to be able to chat with it on WhatsApp but I don't think that feature works for me anymore.
