What is relationship memory?

Relationship memory is the accumulated record of your interactions with someone: what was discussed, what changed, and what each of you promised. Contact data says who a person is; relationship memory says where you stand with them.

Contact data versus memory

Contact data is a name, role, company, email and phone. Relationship memory is where you met, who introduced you, what worried them and what you owe them. It exists when someone writes it down.

An example

After coffee at the port authority open day, a useful record of Benedikt Aurell of Nordlys Shipping is short, specific and dated: he is replacing the fleet’s maintenance contractor before winter, and you promised to introduce a marine surveyor by the end of the month.

In Marrow

A voice note after that coffee becomes this record, filed against the person, with the promise kept as a follow up. Marrow is in Beta.
