Most people forget 80% of a conversation within 48 hours. DIANE remembers everything. Dale Carnegie wrote that every person's favorite word in the world is their own name. The people who make you feel truly seen — who remember your birthday, ask about your sister, recall what you mentioned in passing six months ago — those are the people you never forget. DIANE gives you that superpower. DIANE is your personal AI relationship manager. She remembers the people in your life — their names, their stories, their birthdays, how you met, what you talked about, what you want to follow up on — so you can show up for them the way they deserve. HOW IT WORKS Just talk. After a coffee meeting, a dinner, a phone call — open DIANE and speak. "Had lunch with Marcus today. He's going through a rough patch at work, just moved to Austin, his daughter's birthday is in April." DIANE transcribes your words and builds a rich contact profile automatically. Then ask anything. "What did Marcus mention about his job?" "Who do I know in Austin?" "Whose birthday is coming up?" DIANE searches everything you've shared and gives you a real answer — because she knows your actual contacts, not a scrubbed or anonymized version of them. Never miss a moment. Birthdays, anniversaries, key events — DIANE reminds you a week ahead so you always show up on time with something personal to say. WHAT DIANE REMEMBERS • Names, nicknames, and how you know each person • Birthdays and key dates, with reminders • Voice notes and written notes, organized by person • Where people live, how you met, what they care about • Related contacts and how people in your life connect • Everything you've ever told her, searchable in seconds FEATURES • Voice-to-contact: speak naturally, DIANE fills in the details • AI assistant with full knowledge of your network • Rich contact profiles with photos, tags, and timelines • Birthday and key event reminders (one week out + day of) • Import from your iPhone's Contacts app • Business card scanning • Dark mode • Full data export — your data is always yours • No ads. No data selling. Ever. SIMPLE PRICING Free to download and try. Premium plans coming soon via in-app purchase. YOUR PRIVACY Your data is stored securely and encrypted. DIANE uses your information to answer your questions — that's it. She never sells your data, never uses it to train AI models, and never shares it with anyone. The people in your life matter. DIANE helps you make sure they know it.
