The context you’d have if you remembered everything.
You meet more people in a month than you can keep track of in a year. Ari builds your network from your sent mail and calendar and runs your hiring on a board it keeps up to date. It tells you your history with everyone before you walk in, and each week picks the few people worth getting back in touch with, read against what you’re working on.
Instead ofthe hiring spreadsheet, rereading old threads before the meeting, Clay
Your leadership hires, on a board
Start the Hiring pipeline and Ari fills it in from your last 30 days of email and meetings: a card per candidate, Sourced to Hired, with the latest from each and what you owe them. It keeps the board current from then on.
Briefed before every meeting
Prep arrives ahead of each meeting: who’s coming, what happened last time and what you still owe them. For people outside your company, Ari researches them first.
The ten who matter most
Mark your VIPs, your co-founder, your lead investor, your board, and they’re in Ari’s context in every conversation.
Who you owe
Commitments from your meetings and email show on the person they’re about. Filter to everyone you still owe something, and pair it with a city or a role: “C-Suite in the Bay Area.”
Who to call this week, and why now.
Once a week Ari picks up to five people worth getting back in touch with, read against your role, priorities and goals, each with why now. Draft a note and Ari writes it with you.
Read against your goals
Hiring a Head of Sales? The person who built a sales team before comes up, with that as the reason.
Where you’re going
With your calendar connected, Ari looks three weeks ahead. Heading to Austin? The people you know there come first.
Who went quiet
People you’ve been in touch with more than once, but not in the last 90 days, or 30 for a close contact.

The calls you never log, logged.
Your meetings with your biggest customers and partners are the ones least likely to make it into the CRM. Connect HubSpot, Salesforce or Attio and Ari updates the record from your notes, once you’ve seen the changes.
HubSpot
Salesforce
Attio
Only client calls
Sales, customer, service and partnership meetings with people outside your company. Your 1:1s, investor meetings and interviews never touch the CRM.
Ask me each time
The default. Your notes come with Update, Not this time and Always update automatically, and nothing is written until you’ve seen every change.
Or automatically
Ari makes the changes without asking, then tells you what it changed, record by record. Any instructions you’ve given it for your CRM apply.
After each call, or once a day
It follows your meeting notes: an update after each meeting, or one at the end of the day for all of the day’s client calls.
