Personalized speaker invites for our .NET meetup. The same approach works for candidates.

Running a user group takes coordination

I run a .NET developer user group, and one of the biggest recurring tasks is finding speakers for our meetups. I have a Google Form where people who've given talks in the past submit their proposals. Going through those submissions, figuring out who'd be a good fit for upcoming topics, and sending personalized invites is exactly the kind of work that's important but easy to let slide when you're busy.

Using TextForge, I can sift through past talk proposals, send personalized emails asking if they'd come speak at future meetups, and follow up automatically if I don't hear back. If someone says no, that's fine — but at least I asked. It helps me maintain those relationships and get more people involved in driving all the meetup activity.

The same approach works for hiring

The pattern is identical for recruiting candidates. Instead of talk proposals, your AI agent works with resumes. It reads each candidate's background, understands the role requirements, and drafts outreach that explains why you're reaching out and what makes the role interesting for them specifically.

Every email sounds like you actually read their profile — because your AI did. It's not a mail merge. When candidates reply, TextForge notifies your agent via webhook and the conversation continues. You stay in the loop at every step, but the drafting and follow-up coordination is handled.
