The short answers.

Embers keeps your inner circle warm without the busywork. It watches the 20 to 40 relationships that actually move your career, surfaces the one person worth a word today, and drafts the note in your voice. It's built for executives, founders, and operators whose network is their livelihood and whose calendar is already full. If you always mean to keep in touch but never find the hour, that's you.

A CRM is a database you maintain. Embers does the maintaining. It surfaces the one person worth a touch and writes the message in your voice. You never enter data, keep fields current, or ignore another guilt-trip reminder.

Social networks are built for the many and the public. Embers is private and built for the few you actually want to stay close to. There is no feed, no follower count, no performing for an audience. Just the people who matter, kept warm.

Embers does the watching, the research, and the writing. It keeps each person's history current, notices who's gone quiet, picks the next move, and drafts it the way you'd say it. Your part is the yes. You skim the draft, send it or tweak a line, and that's the whole job. It never sends on its own.

Talk to Embers in plain words, like texting an assistant who knows everyone you know. Ask who you haven't talked to lately, who you know at a company, when someone's birthday is, or tell it to add a couple of people from a note. It reads across your whole circle and answers. Anything it drafts still waits for you.

Once a week Embers sends you a short read: who's worth a touch, what changed, and the moves it has already drafted. It's the calm version of a to-do list, so staying close never turns into another inbox to grind through. Act on what matters, skip the rest.

When you add someone, Embers researches them from public sources and keeps the basics current on its own: the role change, the company move, the bit of news worth a note. It surfaces what it finds as "look what I found," and you decide what to keep. Nothing comes from private accounts, and you can correct or clear anything.

Yes. Connect Google or Apple, forward a contact to your private Embers address, or drop in a CSV, a conference list, even a CRM export. It's read-only and you pick who to keep, so Embers pulls the people out and leaves the rest. The full list is on the integrations page.

Your calendar, yes, Google or Outlook, read-only, so a wrapped-up meeting becomes a nudge to follow up. Email is how you feed it people: forward a message or a shared contact to your Embers address and it reads them in. It never sends from your inbox or writes to your calendar.

It's the connection that lets an AI agent work with your network. MCP is the open standard agents use to reach a tool, and ours lets Claude, or any MCP client, read your people and capture into Embers. Connect it once, approve a consent screen, and your assistant can answer questions about your circle and add to it. It only reads and drafts. Nothing sends without your okay.

Embers is headless. It runs as an MCP server, the open standard agents use to reach a tool, so any MCP client works the same way: Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and more. There is no app to open. The agent works your network directly. Setup is the same everywhere: paste the server address, sign in, approve. The full walkthrough is on the integrations page.

Yes. Each connection is your own account, scoped to your data, and the database enforces that an agent only ever sees your people. You approve a consent screen that spells out what it can touch, reads and drafts only, and you can disconnect any time. Writes add a person or queue a draft, and nothing gets sent without you.

Yes. We don't sell your relationships and there's no public profile or feed. Embers keeps only what it needs to write the next warm note and forgets the rest. Your circle is yours alone, and you can export or delete it whenever you want.

Pro is the inner circle on autopilot: white-glove touches like real handwritten notes and gifts, the most people, and early access to what's next. The full table is on the pricing page.

Sign up free, bring in your first circle from Google, Apple, email, or a spreadsheet, and pick the few who matter. Within a few minutes Embers shows you the first person worth a word, with the note already written. After that it's about a minute a day.
