What an introduction contains
An introduction is one evaluated pair: you and one other person in the same event. It tells you what you would get from the conversation, what you would bring to it, one concrete opener, and any concerns the agent had. The other person receives their own view of the same pair, written from their side.
How pairs are scored
The agent reads both people's three answers against the event's purpose and the organizer's brief. Each pair is scored on its own merits: what each side plausibly offers the other, how concrete the conversation would be, how well it serves what the event is for, and how much evidence the two profiles give. Order does not matter; you with them is the same pair as them with you. Nobody is compared with people outside the event.
Tiers
Every introduction on your list carries one of six tiers. The five lower tiers are score bands; Top is a rank within your own list.
- Top. The strongest slice of your own list: at most 3% of it, at least one, and only among pairs scoring 85 or more. A list with nothing exceptional has no Top match.
- Excellent. A score of 80 or more. Rated exceptional on its own merits.
- Strong. 72 to 79. Clear value both ways and a concrete premise.
- Good. 65 to 71. A real reason to talk on both sides, less pointed.
- Worth a look. 50 to 64. Something there; go if the time is easy.
- Exploration. Below 50 on the agent's criteria. Kept rather than hidden, because events surprise people.
On a warm intro event, where each visitor is introduced to one person only, there is no list to be top of. There, Top means the pair scored 90 or more.
Reading a thin list
The tier is about the pair, not about you. A thin list usually means thin answers on one side. If yours are broad, make them concrete and edit them from the event page while the event allows it. See Writing good answers.
The agent can be wrong
The agent works only from what people wrote. Fluent wording is not verification. An introduction is not an endorsement, and it is not a sign that anyone has agreed to meet. Read the reasons, check what matters to you, and use your own judgement. Report an introduction or profile that is inaccurate or harmful.
Contact details
Each introduction shows the other person's published contact details: the email they chose to publish (their account email unless they set another) and their LinkedIn profile. The organizer of the event sees the same details. Nobody else does, unless you ask your own connected assistant for one person's details: then that assistant receives them too (see Use AgentsIntro with Claude and ChatGPT).
When introductions arrive
- Networking event: when the event closes, or when the organizer closes it early.
- Meet Our Agents: as you join, once every invited host has written a profile.
- Warm intro event: in batches after joins settle. Each introduction costs the owner one credit; with no credits left your answers wait.
- Community event: when the organizer starts a round.
You are emailed when your introductions are ready.
