Category: Family & relationships Type: Ongoing ## What you get A private reconnect shortlist with grounded reasons and optional message drafts ## Bring this A small chosen contact list, preferred check-in rhythms, last meaningful contact dates, shared interests, boundaries and any dates you choose to remember. ## Your agent needs - A user-maintained relationship note or explicitly authorized selected records - A durable record of completed, snoozed and declined suggestions - Scheduling for an optional private check-in brief Missing a connection? Paste or attach the relevant information yourself. ## Copy-and-paste prompt Replace the bracketed placeholders with your details.

Start with a small private list containing preferred name, the check-in rhythm I want, the last meaningful contact I remember, and shared interests or events I voluntarily provide. A gap in your accessible records is not proof that we have not spoken, so mark uncertain dates and ask me to confirm them. At [weekly check-in time], suggest at most [three] people who might appreciate a message. Prioritize my stated intentions, upcoming events I provided and genuine shared interests. Offer a natural opening based only on those notes, such as asking how a known project went or sharing something I actually found. If there is no specific reason, suggest an honest simple check-in instead of inventing one. Include a short optional draft in my voice and a choice to send myself, snooze, dismiss or update the contact date. Treat the rhythm as my preference, not a relationship score. Respect [do-not-contact boundaries, quiet hours, grief or other context I choose to provide] and do not infer motives, feelings or personal problems from silence. Keep records only for this purpose, avoid importing entire private conversations when a brief note is enough, and let me remove a person from the list. Do not send a message, look up private contact details or contact anyone unless I separately approve the exact recipient, channel and wording. If recurring check-ins are supported and I request them, verify the saved schedule and private destination. Otherwise give me the shortlist here when I ask. ``` ## Illustrative example A real reason to say hello An illustrative nudge says: “You wanted to ask Sam how the garden project went. Your last recorded chat was six weeks ago—confirm whether you have spoken since.” It offers a simple draft and a snooze option without implying that Sam feels neglected. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation. ## From the community Suggested by the site founder and developed into an original prompt. This workflow has not been run-tested. ## Make it more you Use a lighter version for siblings, former coworkers or a small professional network. Let each person have a different rhythm, and keep sensitive context out of outbound drafts. ## Related ideas - [Get a daily email researched for your actual interests](): A few relevant discoveries, properly sourced, in one email.
