How Boardy AI Works

Both people’s yes sets the pace, and the 17 hours is the least certain part

Boardy starts with you: a message, then a short conversation about your work. It then asks the other person, and it sends the introduction email with context only after both say yes. Either person can decline, and nothing about either of you moves before that. ^{[1] [3]}

That mechanic decides your timing. The homepage says the average match takes 17 hours, but the company gives no method. Users report very different speeds, so plan for the other person’s reply rather than the company average. ^{[4] [5] [6]}

What you do first, and how fast the first call comes

Start by messaging Boardy by text, WhatsApp or email. Give it your name, email, phone and LinkedIn profile, then describe the work you do and who you want to meet. Boardy asks follow-up questions and may call you. Three early users each received one call, one about a minute after they gave a number, another within an hour, and a third “shortly” after. ^{[1] [9] [8] [7]}

The first introduction can be quick. One user got an introduction about 10 minutes after her first call, but the other person had not replied when she wrote about it. A founder-focused user reports introductions “instantly” after she said she wanted founders, and calls with founders in several countries, with no deals reported yet. ^{[5] [6]}

The other person can stop an introduction before it starts

The person being introduced gets asked before anything is sent, and either person can decline. If they reply, the introduction email carries context about you. If they stay silent, you wait, and one account shows the request can end with nothing back. ^{[1] [5]}

Silence and the channel choice are where people get stuck

The first step has two versions. The Terms describe a first message on WhatsApp or LinkedIn followed by an AI phone call, while the FAQ lists text, WhatsApp or email and no call. Start with the channel you prefer, and check what happens next in writing. ^{[2] [1]}

Silence after a call is the stall with the clearest example. One user who rated a call “not great” heard nothing for five days, and when she asked, Boardy said it was waiting for her direction. Reply with a specific next step rather than waiting for a follow-up. ^[6]
