Objectives are how you tell the platform what you want to achieve. When you declare an objective, the recommendation engine considers not only what you’ve already done, but also the direction you want to take. This improves the quality of recommendations: instead of only suggesting events related to your past, the platform also prioritizes opportunities aligned with your intent.
Objectives are optional. The platform works without them, using only your achievement history. When objectives are declared, personalization tends to become more precise.

​
How it works

1

You declare an objective

Choose a category and describe, in free text or with tags, what you want to achieve. It can be something broad like “become a better programmer” or something specific like “complete the Rio Marathon”.The flow accepts anything from a simple definition with just the category to a more detailed configuration with tags, level, and a specific destination.
2

The platform interprets your intent

When you write in free text, the platform identifies semantic signals from your objective and connects them to the vocabulary used to organize events and recommendations.This reduces the friction between the way you write and the way the system organizes related opportunities.
3

Recommendations become more relevant

Based on the declared objective, the recommendation engine starts prioritizing events that are more compatible with the direction you’ve chosen.This helps surface more relevant opportunities and reduce generic suggestions within the same category.

​
What you can define

The objectives form is designed to work with minimal friction. Only the category is required. The other fields help refine the direction when needed.

​
Main fields

FieldDescriptionRequired
CategorySports, Education, Corporate, or SocioculturalYes
ObjectiveFree text describing what you want to achieveNo
Tags of interestTerms that help refine recommendation relevanceNo

​
Advanced fields

FieldDescription
PriorityLow, Medium, or High
LevelBeginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert
StrengthsSkills you already have
Preferred formatOnline, in-person, city, or state
Specific destinationA concrete goal, such as an event, exam, or certification
You can start with the minimum: a category and a short sentence. Later, if you want, you can refine the objective with more context.

​
Tags of interest

Tags help bridge the gap between your declared intent and the universe of events available on the platform. When an objective includes terms related to a topic, skill, or expected outcome, the platform can improve the match between that objective and the suggested opportunities.

​
How tags can emerge

There are three main paths:
  1. Manual selection — you select tags directly in the form
  2. Text interpretation — the platform identifies signals from the objective written in natural language
  3. History reading — automatic suggestions may use patterns observed in your past achievements

​
Matching events

When creating or editing an objective, the platform may display a preview of events matching the direction you’ve provided. This helps quickly validate whether the objective is well-defined and whether the system understood your intent correctly. This preview also makes it easier to adjust the objective before saving.

​
Auto-generated objectives

The platform can also suggest objectives automatically based on your achievement history. When it identifies consistent patterns of interest, category, or progression, the system may propose a suggested objective for you to review. These objectives appear with a visual highlight and can be:
ActionWhat happens
ConfirmThe objective is incorporated into your profile
EditThe form opens for adjustments before saving
DiscardThe suggestion is removed
Auto-generated objectives do not influence recommendations until confirmed or edited by the user.

​
Auto-evolution

Objectives can evolve along with your journey. As new achievements are recorded, the platform may update its understanding of the level, direction, or relevance of that objective, respecting the accumulated history and any manual adjustments made by the user.
When an objective is manually edited, that definition takes priority over the platform’s automatic inferences.

​
Specific destinations

Beyond broad objectives like “I want to get better at programming”, you can also set concrete goals. Examples:
  • Rio Marathon 42 km
  • TOEFL iBT
  • AWS Solutions Architect Certification
When a specific destination exists, the engine can prioritize events directly linked to that goal or preparatory opportunities consistent with that path.

​
How objectives impact recommendations

Objectives are one of the most relevant signals in the recommendation engine. In practice, they help the platform better answer questions like:
  • which category makes the most sense right now
  • which events have the greatest relevance to the declared intent
  • which opportunities best match the current level
  • which paths should be prioritized over others
This means two people within the same category can receive very different recommendations, based on their objectives, history, and current stage.

​
The refinement cycle

Objectives are part of a continuous cycle of recommendation improvement: 
You declare an objective
        │
        ▼
The platform better understands your direction
        │
        ▼
Recommendations become more relevant
        │
        ▼
New achievements are recorded
        │
        ▼
The system refines its understanding of your profile
        │
        ▼
Recommendations become more precise over time
Each new achievement adds context. With that, the system recommends with greater precision without requiring constant reconfiguration.

Access

Access your objectives in Settings > Objectives, from the sidebar menu on desktop or the bottom bar on mobile.
Start simple. A category and a short sentence are already enough to improve the direction of recommendations.
