Hi Product Hunt! I’m Yanni, co-founder of Netlio👋. The core idea behind Netlio is simple: The person who can help you reach a goal or solve a problem may already be in your professional network. But most of us do not actually see our network that way. We remember a few close contacts. The rest becomes a static list across phone contacts, old meetings, business cards, LinkedIn, and memory. Meanwhile, people change roles, join new companies, start projects, raise funding, hire teams, move markets, and become relevant to goals we have today. That is what we built Netlio for. Start with one real goal. Netlio helps you: • Find the people you need inside your existing network • Uncover hidden signals and opportunities in that network • Understand why someone may matter now • Get a practical way to start the conversation • Discover new people and circles when your current network is not enough We are not trying to build another contact manager or a random lead database. Netlio is for relationship-driven work: sales, recruiting, partnerships, fundraising, investing, advisory, and any situation where the right person can change the outcome. 🚀We have just launched and are currently available in the U.S. and Canada on iOS and Android. I’d love your honest feedback on three things😀: 1. Is it clear that Netlio starts from a real goal or problem? 2. Which value feels strongest: finding people in your network, spotting hidden opportunities, or expanding to new people? 3. What would make you trust a recommendation enough to reach out? If you have a real goal this week, share it in the comments. We’ll be here reading and helping people try Netlio with real use cases. Thanks for checking us out.

Hey Product Hunt - Cary here, co-founder of Netlio

We built Netlio around a problem we kept seeing: when a specific professional goal appears, people often do not know who can actually help move it forward.

Most networking tools begin with a contact list or a search box. Netlio begins with the goal.

One principle guides the product: if someone already in your network is relevant and there is a credible relationship path, that is usually the best place to start. The context and trust may already exist, so reaching the right conversation often takes less time and effort.

But your current network will not always be enough.

Expanding beyond it is valuable and sometimes necessary. It usually involves a longer path: identifying the right person, establishing relevance, finding a credible way to reach them, and writing a first message worth answering.

Netlio supports both paths, in that order:

- start with a specific professional goal

- identify the most relevant people

- understand why someone matters and why now

- evaluate a credible relationship path

- prepare a practical first message

- expand beyond the current network when needed

The goal is not to help people collect more contacts or send more messages. It is to help them choose one more relevant conversation and approach it with better context.

If you try Netlio, I would especially value feedback on one question: did the recommendation give you enough context to decide whether to act?

Thanks for taking a look.

Should AI recommend one clear answer or show the alternatives?

When an AI product recommends who to contact for a professional goal, there is a difficult product tradeoff. One recommendation reduces decision work. It can explain: - why this person fits the goal
- why the timing matters
- the most credible relationship path
- what to say first But one answer can also hide uncertainty. A ranked shortlist gives users more control, but it may return the original decision back to them. My current view is to lead with one recommendation, explain the reasoning, and keep two or three alternatives available when the user wants to compare. This question comes from our work on Netlio, but I think the tradeoff applies to many AI products that recommend actions rather than information. Which approach would make you more willing to act: one reasoned recommendation or a transparent shortlist?

A networking tool should search your existing relationships before recommending strangers

When people have a new professional goal, most tools make it easier to find more names

I think that order is often backwards

Someone already in your network may have the context, trust, or path needed to help. The problem is not always a lack of contacts. It is that the relevant relationship is difficult to see when a new goal appears.
