You’ve spent years meeting people. A lot of those relationships are now buried in your inbox. Blade helps you find them again. Filter by how often you’ve emailed, when you last connected, and whether someone’s outside your company. With one click, send each person an individual email through your own Gmail. Whether you’re launching something, asking for feedback, or inviting people to an event, you’re starting with people who already know you.

can it also proactively check the spam box? asking because sometimes, for no reason, important emails go there and you can find them when it's too late
@vehsakam Hi, thanks for checking out Blade! Currently, we exclude both Spam and Trash when we pull the contacts out.
Does it consider the context of previous conversations, or does it mainly organize contacts based on email activity?
@salmni_gorey Hi! This current version allows you to segment and filter based on email activity only, like number of emails sent/received, last email date, etc.
Hey Product Hunt — I’m Paul, cofounder of KAYAK and now Blade, which I built with Yasser Bashir, CEO of Arbisoft.
The idea started with my first book, The Meeting Book. I wanted to tell people about it and realized the people most likely to care were probably already in my inbox. I just needed a way to find them.
So we built Blade.
I used it to find everyone I’d exchanged at least five emails with over the previous year. That surfaced about 400 people. I reviewed the list, trimmed it to 209, and sent each person an individual email through my Gmail via one screen in Blade.
45 wrote back asking for more information, and I also got 21 amazon reviews written! That surprised me!
That’s the idea behind Blade: help you rediscover people you already know, choose who you want to reach, and send them a normal email from your own account.
I’ve since used it for investor updates, event invitations, and product feedback.
We’re making Blade free for the next 30 days. Give it a try at blade.net—I’d love to hear who you reconnect with.
Looking at Blade — pulling first customers out of an existing inbox is a smart angle! When someone replies to a cold note, does Blade keep that thread tagged as a lead, or does it drop back into normal mail once they answer?
