Details: For users with large networks (e.g., 3,000+ contacts), the biggest challenge is prioritization, not data entry or chat-based querying. Users can realistically maintain meaningful relationships with only a subset (e.g., ~100 contacts), but Dex does not currently help surface who those people should be or how to deepen those relationships over time. Request to evolve Dex from a reactive tool into a proactive relationship engine that works on the user’s behalf. Key ideas: Automatically identify a user’s most important contacts based on signals like interaction frequency, recency, notes, meetings, messages, and relationship history Continuously re-rank and adapt this list as relationships change Proactively surface insights such as: “These 5 important people are overdue for a check-in” “Someone in your top contacts is in town” “You’ve been interacting less with this previously important relationship” Reduce reliance on chatbot prompts — insights should appear automatically, not require daily manual queries Improve UI to surface these priorities clearly, since the current interface becomes a bottleneck at scale
