Eric — I want to flag something directly because I think it matters for the platform. Since Smart Connect went AI-enabled, the match quality has gotten noticeably worse for me — it’s routinely surfacing referral connections that don’t fit the request at all, sometimes the wrong industry entirely. I’ve seen other members say it’s working great for them, so it’s clearly inconsistent, not universally broken.

I’d genuinely like to help make it better rather than just complain: would you or the product team be open to a specific example or two of bad matches so you can see what’s going wrong? I’ve been a strong advocate for Alignable, and I’d rather be part of fixing this than watching people quietly stop trusting Smart Connect
