I am keeping notes in my own system for >10,000 people that I interact with.

My original intention was to automatically generate emails based on combinations of written updates, and I see that your app claims to do a similar email generation task. Can I see some samples of what these emails look like?

Also what are the privacy implications of me dumping in all my records and notes? Are these stored locally, or are they transferred to you?

Some background on my approach: http://quantifiedself.com/2011/08/bryan-bishop-on-meetlog/



Thanks for sharing your talk - that's a very cool approach! Our emails combine news relevant to your contact with a template to look something like this:

Hi Bryan -

How's your QS work been coming along? I just saw this article on the Quantified Self Movement: <title> and thought you might be interested: <url>

Admittedly basic, but you can check/modify before sending.

Records are stored locally and backed up to our servers. We wanted to make sure that you never lost your notes.


How are these emails triggered? I don't understand the lifecycle. Btw, feel free to call me: 512-203-0507


An alert is triggered when last contact goes beyond a certain time (e.g. it's been 3 months since you last talked). Then a user can click on it to send a premade email. And I just shot you a note on Linkedin - happy to chat!
