The problem

You met them once. Then the context faded.

A great conversation, a promise to follow up, a name you meant to remember. Months later you cannot recall what you discussed or when you last spoke, and reaching out starts to feel awkward. So you do not.

How it works

How does Relationship Intelligence work? Three steps.

From a name in a list to a relationship you can pick up again.

  1. 1

    Keep the context

    Add who they are, how you met and what you discussed, in a few words. Tags help you find them later.

  2. 2

    See where it stands

    Virre shows how close each relationship is, when you last spoke and what is still open.

  3. 3

    Know what it needs

    Each relationship comes with a next step, so a warm contact stays warm and a cooling one gets attention.

What it remembers

What does Virre remember about a relationship?

The things that are easy to forget, and hard to ask again.

01

How you met

The first conversation, the person who introduced you, the event where it started.

02

What you discussed

What they care about and what you talked about, ready before you meet again.

03

When you last spoke

The last touch, and how often you have been in contact over the past year.

04

What is still open

A promise to send something, an introduction you agreed to make, a question you owe an answer to.

05

How close you are

Close contact, weaker tie or dormant tie, so you can tell warm from cooling at a glance.

06

What it needs next

A specific next step for each relationship, drafted for you to edit.

The science of networking

What research says about keeping relationships.

Here is what three studies found, and how Relationship Intelligence puts each idea to work.

01

Relationships fade without upkeep

A study followed 25 students for 18 months as they moved from school to university. When contact became less frequent, the emotional intensity of friendships dropped more than that of family relationships.

Roberts and Dunbar, Evolution and Human Behavior, 2011. Abstract

How Virre uses it

It shows when a relationship is cooling, before it goes quiet.

02

Old contacts still deliver

Executive MBA students who asked dormant ties for help on an important project got results that compared favorably with those from their current ties.

Levin, Walter and Murnighan, Organization Science, 2011. Abstract

How Virre uses it

A quiet relationship gets a next step, not a goodbye.

03

Reaching out lands better than you expect

Across experiments with more than 5,900 participants, people significantly underestimated how much others would appreciate being reached out to.

Liu, Rim, Min and Min, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2022. APA press release

How Virre uses it

The context is already there, so the first message is easy to write.

Questions

Relationship Intelligence, answered.

More in the full FAQ, or reach us through support.

What is Relationship Intelligence?

Relationship Intelligence is the Virre feature that keeps the context of every relationship in one place and shows where each one stands. You see how you met, what you discussed, when you last spoke and what is still open, so you know what each relationship needs.

What does Virre remember about a relationship?

Who the person is, how you met, what you discussed, when you last spoke and what is still open between you. Each relationship also shows how close it is, from close contact to dormant tie, so you can tell which ones are warm and which need attention.

How does Virre show where a relationship stands?

Virre looks at the context you keep and when you last spoke, then marks each relationship as a close contact, a weaker tie or a dormant tie. You see at a glance which are warm and which are cooling. Reach out to our team and we will walk you through the signals.

How do I add context to a relationship?

You add a few words about who the person is, how you met and what you discussed, and tag them so you can find them later. Reach out to our team and we will talk through how notes and history can come in from the tools you already use.

Can I see what is still open with someone?

Yes. Promises and follow-ups stay with the person they belong to, such as a document you offered to send or an introduction you agreed to make. Before you next talk to them, you see what you owe and what they asked for, so nothing slips.

How is Relationship Intelligence different from a CRM?

A CRM tracks accounts and deals. Relationship Intelligence keeps the context of the people behind them, across your whole career or company: how you met, what you discussed, how close you are and what each relationship needs next. It is built for people, not pipelines.

What happens when a relationship goes quiet?

Virre shows it as a cooling or dormant tie and suggests a next step, such as a short note about something you shared. Research on dormant ties found that asking them for help produced results that compared favorably with those from current ties.

Can my team share relationship context?

Yes. For teams, relationships live in the company’s memory, so context stays when people move on. When someone leaves, their relationships pass to a successor with the history intact, and a new joiner sees who matters and who already knows them.

Does Virre contact anyone for me?

No. You decide who to contact and what to say. Virre can suggest a next step and draft a message in your style from the context it keeps, and you edit it before anything is sent. Nothing goes out without your say, and your relationships stay yours.

How much does Virre cost?

Starter is free. Pro is $9.99 a month and Pro+ is $19.99 a month at limited-time prices, billed monthly, and you can cancel any time. Teams, event organizers and communities get custom pricing on the Organizations plan: talk to our team and we will shape a plan around your people.

Who is behind Virre?

I built Virre because I believe the right relationships change everything, and they rarely happen by accident. After more than 25 years in senior leadership roles, I had thousands of connections and still did not know who could actually help me when I started my own venture. Virre exists so the people who matter are never lost in a contact list. Gunjan Aggarwal, Founder and CEO of Virre.
