profile_match_create
POST /profile-match — Match DCers from a description (or recommend if omitted)
AI-powered profile matchmaker. Match DCers against a natural-language description, or — when query is omitted — recommend DCers based on your own profile (chapter, industry, expertise, goals).
Returns ranked results from a profile-vector search (Gemini embeddings + reranking under the hood). The caller's LLM synthesizes any narrative on top. Stricter rate limits than the standard CRUD endpoints because of the embedding/rerank cost.
Two modes:
With
query: free-form description ("DCers in Lisbon who run SaaS").Without
query: AI builds an implicit query from your profile and returns "DCers you should meet". Useful for cold-start "who should I message this week?" prompts.
Optional structured filters (combine with either mode, all AND-ed):
locationChapterPlaceID— narrow to DCers whose home / base location matches this Google Place ID. Use for "based in X" queries. Resolve viaGET /places/search.locationCurrentPlaceID— narrow to DCers currently in this place (auto-derived from their last GPS / active trip). Use for "currently in X" / "visiting X" queries.eventID— narrow to DCers holding a valid ticket to this event ("DCers attending DCMEX who run logistics"). Refunded / canceled tickets are excluded.isDCB— whentrue, narrow to DC BLACK members only.businessIndustry— exact match on the DCer's primary business industry.minTeamSize— "at least this size" filter on team headcount (only matches DCers whose team-size visibility is shared with all DCers).minAnnualRevenue— "at least this revenue" filter on annual revenue (only matches DCers whose revenue visibility is shared with all DCers).gender— exact match on the DCer's self-reported gender. Note: Gender is sparsely populated — most DCers leave it blank. Use this as a "narrow if set" hint rather than a hard requirement; combine withqueryfor best results.
⚠️ WRITE operation: this mutates your DC account data.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| isDCB | No | Optional. When `true`, narrows results to DC BLACK members only. | |
| limit | No | Max results (1-50, default 50). Hard cap at 50 — match is expensive; narrow with filters instead of paginating. | |
| query | No | Free-form description of the DCers you want to find. Omit to get recommendations based on your own profile. | |
| gender | No | Optional. Exact-match filter on the DCer's self-reported gender. Allowed values: `Man`, `Woman`, `Non-binary`, `Prefer not to say`. **Note: Gender is sparsely populated — most DCers leave it blank** — combine with `query` rather than relying on this alone. | |
| eventID | No | Optional. DC event ID — narrows results to DCers with a valid ticket (RSVP yes/maybe or paid). Pair with `query` for "DCers attending X who do Y". | |
| minTeamSize | No | Optional. "At least this team size" filter — matches DCers whose team-size bucket is >= this value, ordered as `None < 1-2 < 3-5 < 6-9 < 10-14 < 15-19 < 20-34 < 35-49 < 50-74 < 75-99 < 100+`. `Prefer not to say` also exists in the bucket vocabulary but is treated as "unknown" and always filtered out. Only DCers who set their team-size visibility to "all DCers" are matched; the rest are excluded silently. | |
| skipReranking | No | Optional. When `true`, skip the keyword reranker and return results in raw vector-similarity order. Useful when the query is fuzzy/semantic (where exact keyword overlap would add noise) or when comparing reranked vs raw ordering. | |
| businessIndustry | No | Optional. Exact-match filter on the DCer's primary business industry. Allowed values: `SaaS & Tech`, `Marketing Agency`, `Productized Services`, `Ecommerce & Amazon`, `Courses and Info Products`, `Affiliate, Content Creation, or Ad Revenue`, `Professional Services & Industry Specific Consulting`, `Real Estate and Investing`, `Coaching`, `Other`. | |
| minAnnualRevenue | No | Optional. "At least this revenue" filter on annual revenue. Pass any revenue label (e.g. `$1M+`, `$250K+`, `$100K+`); the filter parses to a number and matches DCers at-or-above. Only DCers who set their revenue visibility to "all DCers" are matched; the rest are excluded silently. | |
| locationChapterPlaceID | No | Optional. Google Place ID — narrows results to DCers based here ("based in X"). Resolve via `GET /places/search`. | |
| locationCurrentPlaceID | No | Optional. Google Place ID — narrows results to DCers currently here, whether they live there or are visiting. **Sparsely populated** — `currentLocation` is self-reported and most DCers leave it null, so this filter under-recalls. For "who is in <city> right now?" prefer creating a trip via `POST /trips` and reading `GET /trips/:tripID` — the `discovery.fullPool` block lists locals AND visitors during the trip window. Resolve placeIDs via `GET /places/search`. |
