# Remember what you talked about

> ConnectMachine keeps a note on every contact, so after you meet someone you jot where you met, what you discussed, and what to follow up on. Months later you open their card and the context is right there, turning a vague name into a connection you can actually act on.

ConnectMachine is an AI agent for digital business cards and contact management.

## How it works

### Add a note when you meet

Right after a conversation, open the person's contact and jot what you talked about, where you met, and anything to follow up on. It takes a few seconds while it is fresh.

### AI keeps it organized

ConnectMachine files each note against the right contact and keeps the details searchable, so you never dig through a notes app trying to remember who said what.

### Recall it before you reconnect

Before a call or a reply, open their card and the full history is there. You pick up the conversation exactly where it left off, even months later.

## What makes it work

### Notes tied to each contact

Every note lives on the person it belongs to, alongside their card and how you met, so context and contact are never separated.

### AI memory you can search

Ask in natural language who you met about a topic and ConnectMachine surfaces the right people from your own notes, turning a growing network into something you can query.

### Follow-ups that do not slip

Flag who to follow up with and when, so the people worth staying in touch with do not fall through the cracks after the event ends.

## FAQ

### How do I remember people I meet at networking events?

Add a quick note to each contact right after you talk, covering where you met and what you discussed. ConnectMachine keeps it on their card so you can recall it any time.

### Can I add notes to my contacts?

Yes. Every contact in ConnectMachine has a notes field for context like where you met, what you talked about, and next steps, all searchable later.

### How does ConnectMachine help with networking follow up?

It stores your notes and follow-up reminders against each person, so before you reach out you already have the full history of the relationship in one place.

### Will I still have the context months later?

Yes. Notes stay on the contact permanently, so opening someone's card a year later shows the same detail you captured the day you met.
