Quick start guide
Connect your network, choose your go-to people, and request your first introduction.
Homie helps you find introductions through people you already know. Explore and request introductions in the Homie app; Slack keeps you updated.
Before you start
- No engineering work. Each person signs up, installs the Chrome extension and optionally connects Gmail, Google Calendar and Slack. An admin connects HubSpot or Attio from Settings > Integrations, then chooses Settings from the CRM’s three-dot menu to select target company lists or stages. Homie creates its CRM fields automatically. The API and MCP are optional.
- Who needs an account. One person can start on their own. Homie searches the networks of everyone in your organization who has synced LinkedIn, so each teammate who joins adds more warm paths. The people in your network do not need to do anything.
Connect your network
Sign up at app.usehomie.com with your work email and complete onboarding. Add your LinkedIn profile URL, then install the Homie Chrome extension. Sign into Homie and LinkedIn in the same browser to sync your connections. See Connecting LinkedIn for the setup steps.
Tell Homie who you want to meet
Open Get started and choose Tell Homie who you want to meet to open Settings > Agent. Define the roles, companies, and other criteria that make someone relevant to you. These criteria guide the agent’s suggestions.
Choose your go-to people
Open Network, find people you would ask for an introduction, and star them. The Go-to people tab keeps them together and prioritizes paths through them. Switch between My network and [Organization]’s network to choose your scope.
Find an introduction
- Warm paths shows introductions Homie has already found. Review the person, the connection chain, and the relationship evidence.
- Network lets you pick someone you know and explore who they could introduce you to. Their Suggested introductions tab shows existing paths through that person.
- Chats, when enabled for your organization, lets you ask Casper who can introduce you to a person, role, or company.
Request your first intro
Select Draft intro request on a relevant person or path. Check the introducer and message before choosing the sending action. Opening a draft does not send it. Follow progress in Intros.
How long until the first intro alert
Casper sends a welcome message as soon as you finish setup. Homie then scores your relationships and searches for warm paths to the people you want to meet, which takes a few days for a new account. Your first warm intro suggestions arrive in the next weekly digest in Slack or email, usually within one to two weeks of setup.
You can return to the app any time to explore; you do not need to wait for a Slack update.
