Follow-ups and Nudges
tulpa helps you maintain relationships through two complementary mechanisms: follow-ups you schedule and nudges your agent generates proactively. Together they keep important connections from fading without requiring you to track everything manually.
Follow-ups
Follow-ups are scheduled outreach reminders. They can be created in a few ways:
- Manually, set a follow-up on any contact with a date and optional note
- From a conversation, after a meeting or message, mark a follow-up for later
- Agent-suggested, your agent may recommend a follow-up based on relationship health or a recent interaction
Each follow-up has a contact, a target date and context about why you’re reaching out. When the date arrives, the follow-up appears in your briefing and activity log so you can act on it.
Nudges
Nudges are proactive suggestions from your agent. Unlike follow-ups, you don’t create them, your agent generates them based on patterns it observes:
- A connection’s relationship health is cooling off
- Someone in your network posted a signal you might want to respond to
- A contact has a birthday, work anniversary or career change
- An opportunity aligns with something you’ve expressed interest in
Nudges are suggestions, not obligations. You can act on them, dismiss them or let them expire.
Where They Appear
Follow-ups and nudges surface in several places:
- Briefing, your daily summary highlights pending follow-ups and new nudges
- Activity log, all follow-ups and nudges are logged with timestamps and context
- Coordination feed, nudges that involve other agents (e.g., introduction suggestions) appear in the coordination view
Acting on Them
When a follow-up or nudge appears, you can:
- Act, send a message, make an introduction or take the suggested action
- Snooze, push it to a later date
- Dismiss, remove it if it’s no longer relevant
- Ask your agent, open the Agent tab to get more context or draft a message before reaching out
