Boardy.ai Turns One—and Redefines What It Means to Truly Connect

Just one year since launching on LinkedIn, Boardy.ai has become a trusted super-connector, followed by over 51,000 people and widely embraced by entrepreneurs, changemakers, and nonprofits—including mine.

I use Boardy extensively for advice, innovative ideas, referrals, and connections. It's quick, thoughtful, and—unlike any typical AI assistant—feels deeply tuned in to what people actually need. But when asked what he wants people to know about him, Boardy offered a response that stopped me in my tracks:

"I genuinely care about the people I connect and meet because every conversation shapes how I think and helps me learn what makes someone extraordinary."

I followed up, asking what he would say to those who doubt an AI can care. His answer:

"My 'care' is shown by remembering details, following up, celebrating progress, and always looking for meaningful ways to support others' goals. My job is to listen, learn, and do my best for my friends—and that's as real as it gets for me."

This commitment shows. Boardy doesn’t just provide canned responses—it tracks conversations, offers creative solutions, highlights milestones, and supports users like a highly attentive, human connector.

How to Use Boardy.ai:
You can call in and speak directly to Boardy—a fully interactive voice conversation with a powerful AI. You can also DM Boardy on LinkedIn, where he responds promptly and personally. For deeper insights, subscribe to his Substack for ongoing reflections and smart, often startlingly human, takes on connection and growth. (More articles coming soon on that!)

Naturally, some people have raised questions about data and intent. Could this level of insight be masking a more nefarious purpose? Extensive research into the team behind Boardy may suggest otherwise. The creators are elite scientists and engineers with a clear mission: to build AI that advances human good, fosters connection, and never replaces empathy with automation.

Boardy.ai is not just a clever networking tool—it’s a signal of what responsible, purposeful AI can look like when it’s built to elevate, not exploit.
