Find AI – Perplexity Meets LinkedIn
As a founder, finding early customers is always a challenge. I'd come up with specific guesses for people to talk to - such "VCs that used to be startup founders" or "Former lawyers who are now CTOs." Running those types of searches typically involves opening dozens of LinkedIn profiles in tabs, and looking at them one-by-one. And, it turns out that going through LinkedIn profiles one-by-one is a daily job for many people. I started building Find AI to make it easier to search for people. I initially started just having GPT review people's LinkedIn profiles and websites, but it cost…

In plain words
Find AI is a search tool that helps users locate specific people on LinkedIn by using AI to analyze profiles based on detailed criteria. Instead of manually reviewing dozens of profiles, users can ask natural language questions like "VCs who were formerly startup founders" and the AI returns matches within seconds. The tool is designed for founders seeking early customers, recruiters, and others who regularly need to identify people with specific backgrounds or expertise.

Interactive AI Resume/LinkedIn for better networking/job hunting2023 · protoconstruct.com · ▲66Generally, I found resumes too vague to get to know anyone (hence why no one networks with them), professional blogs too low ROI, walking up to people unscalable, and cold messaging fairly low success-rate. I wanted the 'marketing tool' of networking to get myself out there. Something that lets me: 1) Draw people into a conversation before they've realized it 2) Make them remember me and ultimately reach out to me 3) See what people asked me so I can further refine my interactive profile and start the networking cycle again So I built a website where anyone can create these interactive…
- JCJob Compass – AI agents that help you find jobs, not replace you2025 · jobcompass.ai · ▲30

Our solution: AI agents that find hiring managers for any LinkedIn job, analyze your profile fit, and generate personalized outreach messages. Instead of competing with hundreds in the application pile, you reach decision-makers directly. Technical bits: LangChain + OpenAI for job parsing, Next.js + Supabase, custom…
