Problem
After events and coffee chats I couldn't remember who I'd met or what we'd discussed, so warm connections went cold before they turned into anything.
What I built
Paste raw notes and AI pulls out contacts, companies and context. Imports from LinkedIn, address books, calendar and Gmail are deduplicated into one record per person.
An interactive map clusters people by company and school, a chat answers questions over your own network, and follow-up cadences flag who is drifting. It also exposes an MCP server and ships a browser extension.
Result
466 commits. A working prototype in use by me and a small group of pilot testers, demoed at a UNC CS Founded showcase table, with end-to-end tests, per-page performance budgets, CI and error monitoring.
