Four layers, 21 features

Get the foundation right and the AI layer has trustworthy raw material. Every feature and its status below — including what's not done yet.

Ready Pilot Planned
Layer 1 · Platform

Data & relationships foundation

Contacts, matching, cards and the compliance trail. Every feature's raw material comes from this layer.

  • F1Contact tiers & profiling12,571 contacts tiered by data reliability and recency; 1,200 core members profiled on company, role and decision level.Ready
  • F2Double-blind matching engineRecalls and re-ranks by need, surfacing an introduction only when the timing is right; neither side sees the other's identity before contact is exchanged.Pilot
  • F3Daily picks & member newsletterIntroduces members worth knowing every day, showing only industry, decision level and business needs — never real names.Ready
  • F4Digital card & QR codeScan your card to generate a digital card with a QR code; the QR encodes only a random short link — never your name or phone — and can be revoked or updated anytime.Pilot
  • F5Personal card holderStore cards of people you know in your own account, with search, tags, notes and export. Your card holder never merges into the platform's network.Planned
  • F6Ad slots & exposureLets members promote their own company. Every ad is clearly labelled; creatives are human-reviewed before launch. Daily picks are editorial and cannot be bought.Planned
  • F7Brand & presentation layerThe SoMate wordmark is used consistently across the site; sub-brands (Companion Agent / MCP Server / Platform) follow.Ready
  • F8Accounts & authenticationLog in with a magic link — no password. This is the shared prerequisite for the card holder, MCP and event registration.Pilot
  • F9Idempotent outbound actionsEvery outbound message (notice, confirmation, reminder) fires exactly once and leaves a record — no duplicate emails.Pilot
  • F10Consent trail & double-blind consentEvery consent is recorded; data is used only for the stated purpose, never repurposed.Pilot
  • F20Infrastructure baselineOrdered pagination, a mandatory dry-run gate, daily automatic backups, version control, protected admin/API docs, and table indexes.Pilot
Layer 2 · MCP

Data interface

The standard interface between SoMate and your AI agents. Agents can query, not act on your behalf.

  • F11SoMate MCP ServerLets AI agents such as WorkBuddy connect to SoMate. Queries stay anonymised — never returning names or contact details; writes are limited to authenticated users.Pilot
Layer 3 · Companion

Business partner

The AI layer that actively uses the above, delivering Connect / Coach / Inform.

  • F12Your business profileRecords your scope, target customers, current pain points and sales stage — it must first know what business you are in.Pilot
  • F13Dialogue engine & memoryHas memory and context so conversations continue — no re-introducing yourself every time.Planned
  • F14Coaching boundaries & knowledge sourcesDefines the level of advice it can give and the sources it cites, with a disclaimer, to avoid overstepping.Planned
  • F15Market intel curation engineTurns the daily newsletter into a continuous, conversational feed, pushed according to your business profile.Planned
  • F16Three pillars: Connect / Coach / InformConnect decides who you meet, Coach decides how to act, Inform decides what the market is doing — all three share one profile.Planned
Layer 4 · App

Main client & cross-cutting

Your everyday entry point, plus proactive care, needs collection and event registration.

  • F17Mobile app entry pointA chat-style interface with daily introductions, digital card, card holder and ad slots. For now, use “Add to Home Screen”.Planned
  • F18Proactive care loopMonthly check-ins and weekly reports reach out proactively, catch the needs you raise, and hand them to a human team for follow-up.Ready
  • F19Needs-card databaseAccumulates your weekly updates as needs-cards, and uses OCR to extract needs from cards and documents.Pilot
  • F21Events & online registrationPublish events, register online, and issue a QR attendance pass for on-site check-in; after the event, Companion reminds you to follow up. We only do “register → show up → follow up” — general event management is out of scope.Pilot
Trust tiers

You decide where your data lives

This isn't a feature tier — it's a choice of where your data is kept. All three enjoy full companionship.

L0 · Fully local

 

  • Your data never leaves your computer
  • We hold none of your contacts
  • Digital card and holder run on your device
  • Free

No matching, no daily picks

L1 · Local + derived into the pool

Recommended

  • The original cards stay with you
  • Only tags (industry, decision level, needs) enter the pool
  • Name, phone and email stored only as irreversible hashes
  • Matching, daily picks, MCP and reply follow-up

Core member (recommended)

C · Fully hosted in the cloud

 

  • Original files held by us
  • We OCR your cards and research backgrounds for you
  • For members without their own setup who want it handled
  • All other benefits same as L1

Core member

Hard line:Matching, unified sending and daily picks always run in the cloud — otherwise they can't pair you with other networks. But your raw contacts can always stay in your hands.
Roadmap

Three phases

Pilot (now)

Authentication, anonymised picks, read-only MCP, card pages. Open by invitation, guided personally; the exit condition is “zero critical defects”, not a hard date.

General launch

Matching engine, card holder, business profiles, event registration and QR check-in. Pricing goes public then.

Beyond

Mobile entry point, ad slots, intel curation engine, and the B2B2C channel with chambers of commerce.

Pilot seats open by invitation
