Open-source clone of the swarm / connect the dots / happenstance

Instead of paying $5K/$10K/$20K annually to these companies, you can run this locally by cloning this public repo to find & engineer warm intros from your network easily.

Tried to keep it dead simple: - Import connections list csv from your contacts (e.g. from official LinkedIn exports) - Upload your target/prospect list (just need linkedin URLs) - System finds matches by profile URL - You click to enrich profile data of all the matches - System scores the strength of each paths (so you know which of your contacts to ask for the intro).

Enrichment is a waterfall composed of Apollo & Google CSE + agents - bring-your-own-key model.

Intro requests messages are automatically composed, and you can one-slick create a gmail draft.

View paths by target name, account (company) name, or by connection (sort by most or best paths).

Pre-loaded some illustrative (NOT REAL) sample data so when you start you can see what it looks like / how it works.

Why I built it: it was a customer request that I only realized later was a replacement for these products.

I'm the founder of (IMO) a more powerful (and complex) warm intro product (Draftboard) - over the weekend a user asked for this feature and I just built it to be responsive. Only realized what I had midway through.

I actually really dislike this approach of having to get people to export their connections list and send them to you, but I guess some people are used to it (in contrast, Draftboard maps all paths through all your - and your team's - contacts without them needing to export/import/download anything)

Anyways, would love feedback.
