Project Description
Cerebro is the AI-powered alumni intelligence system that transforms how you explore ASB’s global alumni network. Here are 3 key points why Cerebro fits your needs.
First, Cerebro is very simple to use. As every alumni submits their LinkedIn information when they join ASB, you would just need to upload a CSV file of their LinkedIn URLS to the system. Whenever you have new profiles, you simply need to add it via this uploader.
Second, Cerebro enables you to have all updated alumni information at your fingertips. view all alumni information and search and filter against key parameters easily. Once you’ve added the information, we would use async scraping using cookie jars, intelligent backoffs and headless mode to fetch the experience and history of the alumni.
If your school’s director has an upcoming trip to New York and wants to connect with data scientists in the area, just use the filters to find them. The search also helps you look up alumni via their names and companies. Another cool feature is also if you are looking to connect with certain companies and you don’t see any alumni currently working there, you can also search against their past companies to see if their past network can help you connect!
We also use Gemini to classify the user’s expertise in their field based on key profile metrics, this would be useful if you’re looking for alumni to give talks for suitable topics. We’ve also generated an AI summary of the user’s background - you can quickly understand the alumni career highlights —ideal for quick internal reviews or introductions.
Finally, Cerebro utilises AI to provide you with insights you need. We use Gemini to predict whether profiles need to be re-scraped and updated. We also utilise OpenAI’s embeddings to recommend similar alumni to this one, to help you with your outreach.
In Summary, Cerebro doesn’t just give you alumni data — it gives you alumni intelligence. It’s smart, and purpose - built to strengthen alumni outreach, optimize networking efforts, and unlock hidden value in your alumni network.
