Forgetting the personal details of people you've met
“I met someone great at a conference, they mentioned their kid's name and a project — three weeks later I remember none of it and feel like a jerk.”— Hacker News ↗
'Personal CRM' tools (Monica, Clay) exist but feel like data-entry chores — people abandon them. The unsolved part is frictionless capture: dump a messy note about a person and have it auto-structured, then resurfaced before you next see them.
Networkers, founders, anyone who meets lots of people
Build a low-friction 'CRM for humans' in Next.js. The core flow is a single text box: paste a messy brain-dump about a person ('Sarah, met at X, has a daughter Maya, building a climate startup, likes trail running'); an LLM extracts structured fields (name, where met, facts[], follow-ups[]). Show people as cards with a 'remind me before I see them' note. First 3 steps: (1) the dump-to-structure server action, (2) a person card list + detail, (3) a simple 'recently added / needs follow-up' home view. Local SQLite, single user.
