Product Introduction
- Definition: MetMe is an on-device AI-powered contact management application for iOS, specifically designed to parse natural language inputs (text or voice) and automatically create structured contact entries within the native iOS Contacts app. It leverages Apple Intelligence for all processing.
- Core Value Proposition: MetMe eliminates the friction of manually adding contacts by enabling users to save contacts naturally through simple spoken or typed descriptions. Its core value lies in privacy-first, offline contact creation with automatic context capture (who, what, when, where), significantly speeding up the process compared to traditional methods.
Main Features
- Natural Language Contact Parsing:
- How it works: Users input unstructured text or speech (e.g., "Met Sarah at the coffee shop, she's a designer at Figma"). MetMe's on-device Apple Intelligence models parse this input to extract entities: name, company, job title, phone number, email address, meeting location, and date/time.
- Technology: Utilizes Apple Intelligence's Private Compute Core for entity recognition and relationship extraction directly on the iPhone, requiring no internet connection or cloud servers.
- 100% On-Device Processing & Privacy:
- How it works: All AI parsing, data extraction, and contact creation occur exclusively on the user's iPhone. Extracted data is written directly to the native iOS Contacts app; no data is sent to external servers or stored in a MetMe cloud.
- Technology: Relies entirely on Apple Intelligence frameworks running locally on the device (iPhone 15 Pro or newer, iOS 26+), ensuring zero data leakage and compliance with Apple's privacy standards.
- Contextual Contact Organization (Timeline, Calendar, Map):
- How it works: MetMe automatically tags each contact entry with the meeting date and location. Users can then browse their network through three integrated views:
- Timeline View: Chronologically lists all contacts by meeting date.
- Calendar View: Highlights dates on a calendar where meetings occurred; tapping a date shows details.
- Map View: Plots pins for each meeting location; tapping a pin recalls the contact and context.
- Technology: Integrates with iOS system frameworks (Core Location for geocoding, EventKit for calendar visualization) to store and display contextual metadata within the app.
- How it works: MetMe automatically tags each contact entry with the meeting date and location. Users can then browse their network through three integrated views:
Problems Solved
- Pain Point: Inefficient and awkward manual contact entry in the native iOS Contacts app, which involves tedious form-field tapping (taking 30+ seconds) and often leads to forgotten context ("Who is 'Michael Job Fair'?").
- Target Audience:
- Networking Professionals: Salespeople, recruiters, business developers, and entrepreneurs attending frequent events.
- Conference & Event Attendees: Individuals meeting many new people in short timeframes.
- Privacy-Conscious Users: Those unwilling to use cloud-based contact managers due to data security concerns.
- Frequent Travelers/Offline Users: People needing to add contacts in areas with poor connectivity or during flights.
- Use Cases:
- Quickly saving a contact after a chance meeting at a coffee shop using voice input.
- Adding multiple contacts efficiently during a busy conference or networking event.
- Recalling where and when you met someone months later using the Timeline, Calendar, or Map views.
- Adding contacts securely while offline or in airplane mode.
Unique Advantages
- Differentiation: Unlike cloud-based contact managers or CRMs, MetMe requires no account, no subscription, no internet connection, and stores zero user data externally. It integrates seamlessly only with the native iOS Contacts, avoiding app lock-in. Its speed (under 5 seconds per contact) far surpasses manual entry. Competitors lack its deep, privacy-centric Apple Intelligence integration.
- Key Innovation: The core innovation is the application of on-device Apple Intelligence for real-time, offline natural language parsing specifically optimized for contact information extraction and contextual metadata capture. This combination of privacy-by-design, offline functionality, and contextual recall within the native iOS ecosystem is unique.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Does MetMe work without an internet connection?
Yes, MetMe functions completely offline. All AI parsing using Apple Intelligence and contact saving happens 100% on-device, requiring no internet access. - Is my contact data private and secure with MetMe?
Absolutely. MetMe's privacy-first design ensures all processing occurs on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence. No contact data, voice inputs, or parsed information ever leaves your device or is stored on external servers. There are no accounts, eliminating cloud sync risks. - What iPhone models and iOS versions support MetMe?
MetMe requires an iPhone 15 Pro or newer model running iOS 26 or later. This is due to the hardware requirements for the on-device Apple Intelligence processing capabilities. - How does MetMe save contacts?
MetMe writes contact information directly to your native iOS Contacts app. It does not create a separate contact database. All parsed details (name, company, phone, email, notes about meeting context) are saved as a standard iOS contact. - Can MetMe extract contact details from complex sentences?
Yes, MetMe's on-device AI parsing is designed to understand natural language descriptions. It effectively extracts names, companies, titles, phone numbers, email addresses, locations, and implicit dates from unstructured inputs like "Met John Doe, the CTO at TechStart Inc., at the summit last Tuesday, his number is 555-1234, john.d@techstart.com"."
