Ask O is where you ask about your network in plain words: who someone is, who can introduce you, what has changed. It is the first thing on Home, and you can open it from any page.

​
When you would use it

Before a meeting, when you want the context on everyone in the room. When you need a warm way into a company or a fund. When you want to know who in your network knows a market you are entering. You ask the way you would ask a colleague who knows everyone you know.

​
Where to find it

Select Home in the sidebar. The address is /home. On any other page, choose Open Ask O in the top bar to open it beside what you are doing; see Open the Assistant from anywhere. Under the box, O reminds you: AI can make mistakes. Check important info.

​
Mention people and companies with @

Type @ and the start of a name, then choose from the list. O then knows exactly who or what you mean, even when two people share a name. You can mention a person, a company, a note or a Circle.
A mention suggestion for a person, with their role, marked Person

Type @ and a name in the message box

​
Start a specific job with /

Type / to see the commands, grouped as Explore, Prepare, Organize, Automate and Open. A command tells O what kind of help you want, for example /person for a deep dive into one person or /intro to find a warm intro path. Every command is listed in Ask O commands. You can always write in your own words instead.

How to

1

Ask your question

Write what you want to know and what you are trying to do. A name, a little background or the outcome you want all help. For example: Who in my network knows people at Northwind, and how do I know them?
2

Point O at the right people

Mention people and companies with @, so O does not have to guess who you mean.
3

Read the answer and check it

When an answer includes a list or a document, select it to open it beside the conversation. On a larger screen, drag the divider to give either side more room. Check important details before you rely on them.
4

Keep what matters

Ask O to remember a follow-up: Remind me to call Sarah tomorrow at 3pm. Reminders appear in Notifications → Reminders.
5

Start over or pick up again

Choose New chat for a different topic, or History to return to an earlier conversation.
Not sure what to ask? The Ask O menu has ready-made prompts for meetings, due diligence, warm introductions and more.

​
Ask O to keep an eye on something

Tell O what to follow, in your own words:
Keep an eye on Acme’s launch.
O follows the topic and shares an update in O when there is new information. To stop:
Stop tracking Acme’s launch.
Updates need Follow-up updates turned on. See Proactive follow-ups.

​
What O does behind it

  • It answers from your network. O works with the people, companies, notes and sources you have connected or imported, and, if you choose to include them, networks that friends have shared with you.
  • It prepares; you decide. Writing a draft does not send it to anyone. Whether and how you reach out is always your choice.
  • It can be wrong. O can make mistakes. Check important facts, and the sources an answer gives, before you act on them.
Availability and privacy. O works with the information and features available to your account. Your conversations are listed under History, where you can delete any of them.
