How @Mentions Work

When chatting with StarGuide, you can type @ followed by a connection's name or username to ask about them. StarGuide will use their shared profiles to provide personalized insights.

💡 Example

Try asking: "What are @sarah.jones's communication strengths?" or "How should I collaborate with @mike given our different work styles?"

📝 Important

You can only @mention connections who have accepted your connection request and shared their profiles with you. The autocomplete dropdown will only show eligible connections.
