Dex

What is Dex?

Dex is a personal CRM for keeping track of people, conversations, and follow-ups across personal and professional networks. Dex brings together LinkedIn, email, phone contacts, and other sources into a shared contact record. The product focuses on remembering relationships and staying in touch rather than managing a sales pipeline.

Dex serves professionals who want to consolidate their network without maintaining separate spreadsheets or repeatedly copying contact information. The website includes examples from founders, investors, software engineers, and other professionals using Dex for networking, job searches, friendships, and family relationships. Dex also gives compatible AI assistants access to relationship context.

What Dex can do

Dex combines contact organization with reminders and relationship history. Contact records can include how people met, education, work, important dates, family details, gift ideas, and event history. LinkedIn synchronization keeps job titles current, while notifications about title changes provide a reason to reconnect.

How Dex works

Dex connects to LinkedIn and other contact sources to consolidate relationship information and reduce manual data entry. Users can manage relationships through web, desktop, mobile, and browser extension access. The browser extension integrates with Facebook, Instagram, X, Gmail, and other tools to support contact management within existing workflows.

Dex supports MCP, an open standard for connecting AI clients to data. Users can point Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or another MCP-compatible client at a Dex account so the assistant can read contacts, notes, and follow-ups. Professional also adds API and Zapier access, Outlook integration, notetaker integrations, and multiple email account synchronization.
