Your network
Your contacts, your circles and how itogai helps you take care of the relationships that matter.
- Does the person who introduces me need to use itogai?To ask for an intro through itogai, yes: a bridger appears when they use itogai and have turned on network sharing.
- Can itogai help me find a warm introduction?How can I find who in my network can introduce me to someone? Yes. itogai shows who in your network can introduce you, and Akai™ drafts the ask.

- What is Network Health?
- Fill your TrustRings circles and move people between themOpen TrustRings and choose Get Recommendations, accept or dismiss each suggestion, and move anyone to another circle whenever you want. itogai never moves a person on its own.
- Build a ListGroup people or companies for a piece of work, such as the accounts you want to reach this quarter, without changing anyone’s circle.
- Read Network Health and momentumNetwork Health shows how your network is doing as a whole, and momentum (growing, stable, or decaying) shows where each relationship is heading, so you know where to spend attention.
- Find a warm path to a person or a companyOpen Paths, search for who you want to reach, and read the two groups: 1st: I know and 2nd: can introduce me, with each path’s strength as High, Medium, or Low.
- Request a warm introPick the bridger in Paths, fill in who you want to reach and why, add fee terms if you want, and click send. A request costs 40 Sparks, released in full if the intro doesn’t complete.
- Answer an intro request as a bridgerA request shows you who is asking, whom they want to reach, their context, and any fee terms. You accept, counter the fee, or decline, and nothing happens without you.
- Enrich a person or a company to add business contact detailsOpen a record in My Network and ask itogai to look it up. One Spark, charged only when the lookup adds something. A mobile number is its own request, two Sparks, only when one is found.
- Add a person or a company by handAdd someone you know, or a company you want to reach, without a source: type the details in My Network, and itogai takes it from there.
