Mesh, Automattic’s CRM for everyone, comes to Android
Mesh, an AI-powered contacts app and relationship manager from Automattic is now an Android app.
Automattic's Mesh, a relationship manager and personal CRM, has launched for Android users. This software enables users to privately visualize and manage their personal and professional networks, adding notes to contacts and receiving reminders for outreach. Mesh has tailored the app for Android, incorporating platform features like split-screen and pop-up views, keyboard shortcuts for foldables and tablets, in-app search, home screen widgets that adapt to your wallpaper's colors using Material You, and real-time sync across devices.
The company envisions future integrations between Mesh and its messaging app, Beeper, which facilitates connections across various platforms. Including WhatsApp, Instagram, Signal, Messenger, X, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, and Google Messages. Currently, Mesh users can draft messages to Beeper contacts and click deep links to visit a Mesh user’s profile.
Mesh is also exploring AI-driven features to enhance productivity in managing relationships. Currently, Mesh's AI tool, Nexus AI, is in early access and helps users navigate their network, for instance, by answering questions about connections at specific companies or individuals in a particular city. The company is also testing voice-based, hands-free experiences and improved business card scanning. Personal data in Mesh remains secure, not used for ad targeting, with the product supported by subscriptions.
Mesh's Android version will be a free download on Google Play, offering in-app purchases. Currently, about 70% of Mesh's customers use the app for business purposes, but the founders also consider the consumer use case. The founders aim to have the same features apply to both business and individual users.
