Recommendation requests
Ask many people in your network for a recommendation at once, then get one synthesized answer back.
Ask your whole network at once
A recommendation request — a "swarm" — is how you crowdsource an answer from the people you trust. Instead of emailing a handful of people one at a time, you describe what you need, NetworkOS picks the right people and writes each of them a personal note, and then it collects the replies and hands you one synthesized answer.
How a request works
Describe what you need & plan
Say what you're looking for — a consultant, service provider, recruiter, vendor, restaurant, or anything else — and refine it in a short back-and-forth so NetworkOS understands the ask.
Select who to ask
NetworkOS suggests the best people to ask, ranked by how well they know the topic and how strong your relationship is. Search, adjust, and pick your final list.
Review the emails
Each recipient gets a personalized message written for them. Read them, edit any, or regenerate — they go from your own voice, not a blast.
Confirm & send
Send right away or schedule it. NetworkOS sends each message and starts watching for replies.
Replies become one clear answer
As people respond, NetworkOS reads each reply, pulls out the actual recommendations, and keeps a running synthesis — a single summary of everything your network suggested, updated as more answers arrive. You see who's replied, who hasn't, and the consensus so far.
Reminders, expiry, and reuse
- Gentle reminders nudge people who haven't replied yet.
- A request winds down on its own after a while, so it never lingers.
- You can duplicate a finished request to run the same ask again later.
