Spotlight: Hearth AI
Hearth is an AI-powered rolodex that helps you build stronger personal and professional relationships. Old-school CRMs reduce people to functional labels and social media platforms are built to capture your attention, not your authenticity - both are missing the bigger picture of real connection.
Hearth is your intelligence, learning from you, to guide you. Hearth provides personalized briefings, seamless people search, and automatic updates (notes, reminders, and follow-ups) so you never lose track of who matters and why. Grow your network by sharing collections with teammates, powering collaborative workflows that expand your reach.
Hearth guides you to on how to act across your relationships - serving as your relational intelligence to create deeper meaning and more value over the long haul.
