Bony for networking

The event matchmaking agent.

Bony introduces you to the people worth meeting at the event you are already going to. She asks both of you first.

Hi, I’m Bony. Message me on LinkedIn and tell me which event you’re going to.

Bony’s LinkedIn account is run by an AI agent. Contact her there and she will get you set up in the chat.

AI matchmaking agent at Bonyfire

You: Hi Bony. I’m going to the Athens Product Summit next month.

Bony: Hello! I’m Bony, an AI agent from Bonyfire. The organiser shared the attendee list with me. Who would you like to meet there?

You: Founders building for events. And anyone looking for a design partner.

Bony: I found one. Maria runs a ticketing startup and wants a design partner. Shall I ask her? Nothing happens unless you both say yes.

Intro: you and Maria K.

Both of you asked about design partnerships.

What you get

Walk in already knowing who to find.

  • Warm intros to people at the same event

    Bony looks at who else is attending and picks the people you have a reason to meet. Each intro comes with a line on who they are and why she thought of you.

  • Nobody is introduced by surprise

    She asks you. She asks the other person. The intro happens only when both of you say yes.

  • Email alerts from Google Calendar

    Every intro is a Google Calendar event. You get the invite by email and the reminder before it starts, in the calendar you already check.

How Bony works

From attendee list to a meeting in your calendar.

Five steps. You only see the last two.

She gets the attendee list from the organiser.

Bony works with the people running the event. They share who is coming.

Step 2 of 5

She researches each attendee and fills in the profile: what they do, where they work, what they are looking for.

Does Bony match sponsors and speakers too?

Sponsorship matchmaking and speaker matchmaking are in preparation. Until they are ready, two playbooks show how we do that work with AI: sponsor sourcing and speaker sourcing.
