Smart matching system using AI

Community Calls

Hey folks!
I’m a product manager who works on a project that helps businesses find opportunities based on company profiles and specific fields like name, description, and services. Additionally, companies can add information in three key areas:

  • “I’m looking for” (specific needs like finding an investor or partner),
  • “What I can give” (what they can offer in return, like networking or services),
  • “Open to” (exploratory possibilities like M&A).

Currently, I’m using a similarity search to match businesses with each other based on these fields. For example, if a user asks, “show companies I can sell my products to,” the system tries to find matches based on context.

However, I’m not sure if similarity search is the best approach for this task. I’m looking for insights on how others have solved similar matching problems, especially when matching business queries to other companies’ needs and offerings. Any advice on alternative methods or technologies you’ve used successfully would be appreciated!

Will be glad to hear any comments. Thx
