People and "Who Is This About?"
Groupthink is built around people. Every capture — a recording, a note, a link — can be filed to the person or people it's about, so what you learn lands in your relationship with them instead of a pile of undated notes.
"Who is this about?"
After you record or write something, Groupthink asks Who is this about?. Two things happen here:
Pick the people. Search your relationships, tap the ones this capture involves, or type a name that isn't there yet to add them. You can pick more than one.
Choose the type:
- Interaction — you actually connected (a call, a meeting, an email). This is logged as contact and counts toward how recently you've been in touch. Pick the channel (Call, Email, and so on).
- Private note — a thought or observation about them, not contact. It's kept, but it doesn't count as reaching out.
Tap Save. If you're signed in, the capture is filed to each person's timeline. If you don't pick anyone, the capture still saves — just to yourself.
The People tab
The People tab is your relationship list: everyone you keep track of, with the notes, observations, and open threads you've logged on each. Open a person to see their history, their email, and what you've been meaning to follow up on.
The People tab is server-backed, so it needs sign-in. Tap People and sign in with Google or Microsoft to bring your relationships onto the phone. Until then, recording and notes still work on the device without an account — see Sync and signing in.
A note on where tagged people show up
When you're signed in, the people you pick in Who is this about? are filed to their timelines on the server — that's where an interaction shows up as part of the relationship. Recordings you keep only for yourself live on the Interactions tab.
