Last month we shipped a bunch of AI features, but with a specific angle - we don't think AI should write your emails or make decisions for you. Instead, we built it to handle the tedious parts.


Here's what's new:


1. Email Personalization Variables

We don't think you want AI writing your entire emails (that's how you end up with slop that sounds like everyone else). Instead, our AI helps fill in specific variables to save you time on the repetitive parts. Here's how it works: You write your email template in your own voice, then add variables like {mutual_interest_if_available} or {career_highlight} wherever you need them, and AI will fill it up. You can also provide information on your background (like your work history, hometown, etc) to help identify what's overlapping between you and the candidate. This works for both one-to-one emails and bulk campaigns, and it's fully supported in the Chrome extension too.

2. AI-Suggested Next Steps

After every email, call, or interaction, you don’t need to manually create tasks anymore. Stardex will do that for you. Our AI will analyze your activity notes and meeting transcripts to automatically suggest logical next steps. Just paste your notes from a call (or better if you use a supported note taker). You can turn this on for your whole team in Settings.

3. Auto-Stage Updates Based on Email Replies

We added sentiment detection to email sequences. When a candidate replies saying they're interested or down to chat, Stardex automatically moves them to "Interested" stage. You can customize this with granular stages. You'll also see replies broken down by sentiment in your sequence tracking data.

4. AI Summary Generator

We redesigned this based on feedback. The new version gives you way more control over where summaries get saved - you can keep them as internal note or add them to client-facing views. We've also added formatting options so summaries actually look the way you want them to.

Quality of Life Improvements

  • Customize Person view: Since our users spend a lot of their time on Stardex at a candidate profile detail view, we want to give you options to show/hide what you care about most, and reorder things on top. You can do that through Actions on the candidate page

  • RingCentral and Fireflies integrations: We added a Fireflies.ai integration so meeting transcripts automatically flow into Stardex. We also launched RingCentral integration with click-to-call functionality as well as transcriptions automatically feeding back into Stardex.

  • Better bulk enrollment workflow with updated user settings for personalization

  • You can now create multiple client share links per job, as well as hide candidate details for clients prioritizing unbiased hiring!
