Let's be honest—keeping up with relationships is hard. You mean to text that college friend, but three months fly by. You meet someone brilliant at a conference and promise to follow up, then their business card becomes a bookmark. Sound familiar?
That's where Dex comes in. It's a personal relationship manager that works like having a really attentive assistant who gently nudges you when you're about to ghost someone important.
Think of Dex as your digital rolodex, but smarter. Instead of just storing names and numbers, it helps you actually maintain those connections. The Chrome extension integrates directly into the platforms you already use—LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and Messenger—so you don't need to switch between a dozen tabs to remember who someone is.
One click, and you'll see your past conversations, notes about their kids' names, or that reminder you set to congratulate them on their promotion. It's like having a photographic memory, except it's actually reliable.
Here's something interesting: Dex now includes AI assistance for drafting and responding to messages. Not in a robotic "Dear Sir/Madam" way, but more like having a writing partner who helps you find the right words when you're reconnecting after months of silence.

The AI doesn't take over your conversations—it just makes the awkward "sorry I've been MIA" moments a bit easier to navigate.
The keep-in-touch reminders are genuinely useful. You can configure Dex to ping you on whatever schedule makes sense: weekly check-ins with close friends, monthly touches with professional contacts, quarterly reach-outs to your broader network.
Life gets busy, but your relationships shouldn't suffer because you forgot to set a phone alarm. Dex handles the logistics so you can focus on the actual conversation.
When was the last time you blanked on someone's spouse's name? Or forgot whether they had two kids or three? These small details matter more than we admit.
Dex makes it simple to jot down notes after conversations—where someone went on vacation, what project they're excited about, which coffee shop they recommended. Next time you chat, you'll actually remember to ask how that Barcelona trip went.
The dashboard lets you create custom tags and views. Maybe you want a "potential collaborators" list, or a "people who also love hiking" group. 👉 Build a smarter contact system with Dex's customizable CRM features
You can search through all your notes in one place, which becomes incredibly powerful when you're trying to connect people. "Wait, didn't Sarah mention she was looking for a designer? And Tom just went freelance..." That's how you become the person who makes valuable introductions.
Install the Chrome extension, and Dex starts working wherever you already spend time online. It syncs across your devices, so those notes you took on your laptop are there when you're scrolling LinkedIn on your phone.
The free version gives you access to core features—enough to transform how you manage relationships without pulling out your wallet. As you use it more, you'll discover which features matter most for your specific networking style.
The bottom line: relationships take effort, but they shouldn't require a perfect memory or endless spreadsheets. Dex handles the remembering so you can focus on the connecting.
