In their own words
Introd
Introd analyzes a user’s network to surface relevant people, assess possible introduction routes and support introductions. It is presented for fundraising, hiring, sales, partnerships and career advancement, with discovery for people, companies and communities alongside missions and network collections. Its network tools include pathfinding, TrustRank, relationship context, role and funding signals, suggested outreach and a network graph. Connectable sources include LinkedIn, Gmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Outlook, Slack, WhatsApp, Apple Contacts, Google Drive, Teams, Zoom and Calendly. Instagram, Telegram, Notion, Google Meet and several CRM, enrichment and automation services are marked coming soon. Introd offers a web app, Chrome extension, WhatsApp and SMS experiences. It says integrations use narrow scopes, favor read-only or metadata-only access where possible, and can be disconnected in settings. Customer content is not used to train third-party foundation models, and messages or introductions require explicit human action. A free plan is listed; Pro is $99 a month.
