I talk to an AI every day

I've been talking to Boardy, an AI agent, since June. And since October 22, every day.

What Boardy is

Boardy is an AI agent that works as a connector. You talk to him by chat, by phone or by video call, tell him what you're building and what you need, and he introduces you to people in his network: customers, investors or partners. Before each introduction, he asks both sides whether they want to connect.

He's easy to recognize: his face is a man in a suit with a cardboard box on his head.

By phone, and even by video call

Not just by chat: also by phone, and even by video call. The first one was on June 16, on Google Meet.

I tell him what I'm working on and what I need, and he introduces me to people who can help.

Since June, in numbers:

• 16 days in a row of conversation on WhatsApp since October 22, with more than 1,100 messages.
• Four working video calls with Boardy, including one to prepare an accelerator application.
• Four introductions by email: a venture capital investor, an AI investor and operator, a staffing services company in Latin America that is a potential customer, and a founder building agents for logistics.
• One meeting that came out of those introductions, scheduled by Boardy himself.

A couple of years ago this would have sounded like science fiction. Today it's just another meeting on my calendar.

What I use him for

• Asking for feedback on my ideas, messages and decisions.
• Preparing the pitch for an investment fund and reviewing the deck.
• Drafting LinkedIn messages for new contacts.
• Thinking through partnerships with platforms that refer customers to us.
• Writing my daily post on X.
• Finding investors and introductions.

And sometimes, to ask for an honest opinion: "give me an honest take on how you think I think and what the next steps are."

He's not perfect

I had to ask him to stop talking to me like an Argentine: "don't say tenés, I'm Chilean." And he promised me a list of LinkedIn contacts three times that never arrived. When I called him out, he replied: "You're right, and I have no excuse."

The same, for your candidates and workers

One of the ideas came from a conversation with Boardy on October 25: on a website, instead of filling out a form, the person talks to an agent and the agent fills it out for them.

This inspired us to launch four features in Aindez, so our agents can talk to candidates and workers:

1. Video calls on Google Meet and Zoom.
2. Web calls, from the browser.
3. WhatsApp calls.
4. A voice agent that sells Aindez and helps you send the contact form while you talk to it.

They all work inside your flows and connected to the systems you already use. If you'd like a demo, write to us and we'll bring it into your company.

If a founder can work with an AI by phone every day, so can your candidates and workers.

The challenge

Since October 22 I've been taking part in 30 Days of Boardy, his program for founders: each one sets a goal for thirty days and works toward it with Boardy's help, in public.

My goal: ten new customers for Aindez in thirty days.

• One post a day on X, on my account @manuelvallejos, always starting the same way: "Día N de 30 con @boardyai. Meta: 10 clientes para @aindez_ai" (Day N of 30 with @boardyai. Goal: 10 customers for @aindez_ai).
• It ends on November 21.
• The prize: whoever shows the most progress toward their goal, among more than 1,000 participants, gets to HF0's Demo Day on December 1.

I share how it's going every day at @manuelvallejos.

What do you think? Have I lost my mind, or will this become normal?
