This AI is the "ChatGPT to find people".
And I can't believe what just happened:
It's called
1. It's free. You create an account in like 1 min.
2. You upload your Linkedin connections.
3. You can even connect your Gmail, Instagram & X.
4. Add friends so you can search their networks too.
5. Now go to Claude > Settings > Connectors.
6. Add the Happenstance connector to Claude.
7. Paste this prompt into Claude:
"Find people in [your friend's name]'s network, in New York or San Francisco, who run portfolios of companies (PE, VC, manufacturing) and need AI training."
8. Open the given list. It will give you the list of people, with their role, mutual connections & their recent posts (crazy, if you ask me).
9. Now paste this prompt:
"Write a friendly message to Noam asking for intros, with names and LinkedIn links."
10. Copy & send it to your friend on LinkedIn or WhatsApp.
With one search, I covered the entire network of 807,000 people, which I was not able to do with LinkedIn alone.
170,000 direct connections. 370,000 more through friends' networks.
Including CTOs, founders & holding companies. Every one of them had a mutual friend, ready to introduce.
Export everything to CSV or share the list with your team.
LinkedIn was supposed to work like this.
