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 β€” who remember your birthday, ask about your sister, recall what you mentioned in passing six months ago β€” 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 β€” their names, their stories, their birthdays, how you met, what you talked about, what you want to follow up on β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” because she knows your actual contacts, not a scrubbed or anonymized version of them. Never miss a moment. Birthdays, anniversaries, key events β€” DIANE reminds you a week ahead so you always show up on time with something personal to say. WHAT DIANE REMEMBERS β€’ Names, nicknames, and how you know each person β€’ Birthdays and key dates, with reminders β€’ Voice notes and written notes, organized by person β€’ Where people live, how you met, what they care about β€’ Related contacts and how people in your life connect β€’ Everything you've ever told her, searchable in seconds FEATURES β€’ Voice-to-contact: speak naturally, DIANE fills in the details β€’ AI assistant with full knowledge of your network β€’ Rich contact profiles with photos, tags, and timelines β€’ Birthday and key event reminders (one week out + day of) β€’ Import from your iPhone's Contacts app β€’ Business card scanning β€’ Dark mode β€’ Full data export β€” your data is always yours β€’ No ads.

DIANE helps you make sure they know it.
