Connect or upload, pick the few who matter, and Embers takes it from there. Everything is read-only and waits for your okay. Nothing syncs back, nothing leaves.
Connect your Google account, read-only, and pick the people worth keeping close. Embers leaves the rest alone and never writes back.
Export your contacts as a vCard from your iPhone, a Mac, or iCloud.com, drop the file in, and choose who to keep.
Forward an email, or a contact someone shared with you, to your private Embers address. It reads the people out and stages them for your okay.
Send a CSV or an export, a conference list, a CRM dump, a list of names, and Embers pulls the people out for you to review.
Read-only, always. Embers sees who you're meeting and keeps the rest of your calendar to itself.
Connect your Google calendar, read-only, and a wrapped-up meeting becomes a nudge to follow up, drafted in your voice and waiting for your okay.
Connect your Outlook or Microsoft 365 calendar, read-only. A finished meeting becomes a note worth sending, in your voice, on your okay.
Connect your Embers to Claude, or any Model Context Protocol client, ChatGPT included, and an agent can work your network with you: ask who's gone quiet, add a person, queue a follow-up draft, set a photo. You sign in and approve a consent screen first, and you pick what it can touch. It only reads and drafts. Nothing sends without your okay.
Each connection is your own account, scoped to your data, and you can disconnect it whenever you want.

Point your client at this address:

}Reads are free. Writes create a person or queue a draft, and still wait for your okay inside Embers. Nothing here sends.

Under the hood, Embers reads what you hand it and writes in your voice with Claude, Anthropic's model. That is the part that turns a forwarded email into the right person, and a quiet stretch into a note that sounds like you. It only ever drafts. Nothing sends without your okay.
A Zapier app, so the thousands of tools Zapier connects can push people and signals into Embers with no code and no MCP client. The connection it runs on is already live; the Zapier app itself is the last piece, and it's up next.
A native Granola integration, so a meeting debrief becomes a reason to reach out. We add an integration when it earns its place, not to pad a list. This one's on the roadmap, not live yet. In the meantime, connect Claude above and it can already pull your meeting notes into Embers for you.
