The full toolkit
Everything you need to manage relationships on purpose
Understand each person, keep a plan for every relationship that matters, walk into meetings prepared, and never lose the details that build trust. Here's what's inside.
The library
Every relationship that matters, in one place
Not a contacts dump: a curated library of the people who actually shape your work and life, organized the way you think about them.
Four relationship kinds
Personal, Professional, Client & Partner, and Networking, each with tuned subtypes like Manager, Collaborator, Stakeholder, Client, Mentor, and Industry contact, so a skip-level and a college friend never get the same generic treatment.
A five-level health read
Every relationship sits somewhere from Ideal to Strong, Workable, Frayed, or Negative, a shared five-bar motif across the app. No fuzzy vibes, no fake precision: a state you can see at a glance and act on.
Criticality, not just closeness
Mark how consequential each relationship is to your goals. The frayed relationship with a critical stakeholder surfaces before the comfortable one with an old teammate, because that's where the risk lives.
Fast search and filters
Debounced search across every kind, subtype filters, and action menus on each card. Find the person in the elevator before the doors close.
Understanding people
Stop guessing what makes people tick
Most professional friction isn't malice; it's two personality profiles colliding without a map. The app gives you the map.
A personality sketch of each person
A quick read on every relationship (how they take in new ideas, how much structure they need, where they get their energy, how they handle friction and pressure) turns "they're impossible" into "they need the details in writing before the meeting." You adapt to what's actually there.
You, as an experience
The profile hub starts from the product's core idea: you are an experience other people have. An honest, detailed read of your own personality (how direct you are, how you handle conflict, what you're like under stress, how you get things done) shows you the patterns you likely create in the room.
Relationships 101
A built-in learning surface that teaches the mechanics of professional relationships (starting with the Appeal, Ability, and Trust framework) so you're building skill, not just tracking data.
Guided setup that thinks with you
Adding a relationship walks through basics, current state, a mini personality read, and goal selection, and hands back a generated, phased plan. Ten minutes in, you know your next move.
Chemistry, decoded
A side-by-side read of your personality and theirs: where you're naturally alike, where the mild differences live, and which big gaps explain the friction, with common ground to build on and concrete tips for working with this specific person.
Plans that move
From "I should reach out" to a working plan
Good intentions decay. Plans with phases, cadences, and records don't. This is where the app stops being a notebook and starts being an engine.
Goals fitted to the relationship
Choose goals matched to the relationship's kind and subtype: rebuild trust with a manager, deepen a client partnership, turn an industry contact into an ally. Each goal unfolds in phases with concrete tasks, meeting cues, and watch-outs.
Cadences that come back
Relationship work is rhythmic, not one-and-done. Recurring steps come due again automatically at the right interval, and the dashboard tells you what's due now, so no one important slips off your radar.
AI brainstorms for the exact step you're on
Stuck on how to actually approach a step? Generate concrete ideas tailored to this person, this goal, this phase. Each new round builds on what you tried before; it reads your notes from prior rounds and won't repeat itself.
A record of every worked round
Each time you work a step, you log what you decided to do and how it went. Over months, every relationship accumulates a private history of what you've tried and what actually worked: judgment you can build on.
Meetings
Walk into every room already ready
Meetings are where relationships are actually made and broken. The app connects to your calendar so preparation stops depending on your memory.
Google Calendar, connected
Link your calendar, choose exactly which calendars the app can see, and it matches upcoming meetings to the relationships in your library.
Meeting plans, not just reminders
Before a meeting, pull a plan built from that relationship's goals, current phase, meeting cues, and your notes: what this conversation needs to accomplish and how this specific person prefers to work.
Start from the people you already meet
Onboarding can scan your last three months of meetings and rank the people you meet most. Pick the ones who matter, tag their relationship kind, and your library starts pre-populated with drafts of your real network.
Meeting cues per phase
Every plan phase carries cues (things to ask, signals to watch for, topics to avoid) so even a hallway conversation can move the relationship forward.
Where you are
The plan finds you, not the other way around
A system you have to remember to open isn't a system. CORE Relationships shows up in Slack and your inbox at the moments that matter, then gets out of the way.
Slack, connected
Connect your own Slack in one click and choose exactly what it sends you. Your daily relationship plan arrives as a DM, with your morning coffee or the evening before, so the day's people-work is decided before the day starts.
Meeting prep, delivered
Minutes before each meeting, a DM lands with who's in the room, your saved prep notes, per-person cue guidance, and a link straight into the meeting's plan. It even flags attendees who aren't in your library yet.
Debrief while it's fresh
When the meeting ends, a check-in asks how it went. Reply right in the thread and your debrief is saved to the meeting's record, captured in the thirty seconds you actually remember it. And you can DM the bot any question, any time: it answers from your real library.
Your day, one email
Prefer the inbox? The same daily plan arrives by email (morning-of or evening-before, on your timezone) so tomorrow's relationship work is one skim away.
Memory
A memory that doesn't fade under pressure
Their kid's name. The project that burned them. The date that matters. Remembering is the cheapest trust-builder there is, and the first thing to go when you're busy.
Field notes on every relationship
Structured notes capture who this person is, what you've learned, and what you're still figuring out. Journaling steps write directly into the right note, so insight lands where you'll find it again.
Talk it through
Some things are easier said than typed. Start a short voice conversation with an AI interviewer who asks the right questions about a relationship, then hands you a distilled note to review and keep. The audio is never stored, only the insight you choose to save.
Key dates that resurface
Birthdays, work anniversaries, renewal windows, the follow-up you promised, stored in a structured format and summarized where you need them, instead of buried in a note you'll never reopen.
AI-assisted research
Kick off research on a relationship and let the app populate the background (role, context, public footprint) so your first coffee isn't spent on questions LinkedIn could have answered.
The full history, on demand
Every worked step, every journal entry, every round of ideas lives on the relationship's record. Before a big conversation, skim the whole arc in two minutes.
Your AI, connected
Bring your own AI into the room
CORE Relationships plugs into Claude and ChatGPT, so the assistant you already use can answer questions from your actual relationship library, not generic advice.
Connect Claude or ChatGPT
Add CORE Relationships as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT and sign in with your own account. From then on, your assistant can look things up in your library right from the chat: no exports, no copy-paste.
Ask in plain language
"Which of my client relationships are frayed?" "What do I know about Dana before our 3pm?" Your assistant can list your relationships, search by name, email, or company, and pull anyone's full picture on demand.
The full picture, not just contact info
What your AI sees is the real thing: each relationship's current state, personality sketch, goals and plan progress, meeting cues, notes, and open tasks (the same context you'd want in your own head).
Your sign-in, read-only
The connection authenticates as you, with your own account, and it can only read; it can't edit or delete anything, and it can never see anyone's data but yours.
Foundation
Built like something you can trust with this
This data is sensitive: your honest read on your boss lives here. The foundation is built accordingly.
Mission control dashboard
One screen for what's due, key relationships and their states, streaks, and upcoming meetings, plus an Actions page that lays out everything due this week, important people first. Open it with your coffee; know your people-work in thirty seconds.
AI with guardrails
Every AI call runs server-side behind your sign-in, rate-limited, with provider keys that never touch your data or your browser. The AI works for you; it doesn't harvest you.
Private by design
Your honest read on your boss lives here, so nobody sees it but you. No social layer, no sharing, and every integration is scoped to your account alone. Candor is what makes the system work; the product is built so you can afford it.
Calm, fast, and yours
A dark, minimal, keyboard-friendly interface with no feed, no gamified noise, no engagement tricks. The app's job is to make the ten minutes you give it count, then get out of the way.
One system for the people who decide how your story goes
Your manager, your key clients, your closest collaborators, the mentor you keep meaning to call. Give each one a plan.
