Who it's for
Shimmer is built for busy, active people: anyone whose day is a stream of meetings, messages, and relationships that deserve more attention than one person can give. If your calendar and inbox run you, Shimmer is designed to flip that.
The capabilities are the same for everyone; what differs is which ones carry your day. Four profiles come up again and again.
Leaders & executives
A brief-first day. The morning brief lands before you do, grounded in your actual calendar, inbox, and people. Before each meeting, a pre-meeting brief is ready at least 15 minutes ahead: who you are meeting, what your agent knows about them, and what the meeting is about. Same-day calendar changes are noticed within about a minute, so a moved meeting never blindsides you. Email triage keeps the inbox down to what actually needs you, and every outbound action still waits for your one-tap approval.
Founders & operators
Research on tap and relationships kept warm. Hand off a question ("what is the state of X, who else is building this?") and your agent investigates and reports back with sources. Relationship warmth flags an investor, customer, or advisor going quiet before the relationship goes cold. Voice notes capture things on the move, and the weekly check-in keeps your goals current so briefs stay pointed at what matters this month.
Researchers
Grounded answers with real citations, two inboxes in one agent, and a knowledge base built for evidence. Researchers get the deepest treatment in Shimmer, including literature search, reference-library import, and scheduled topic tracking. Read the full deep-dive: Shimmer for researchers.
Coordinators & connectors
People-heavy work: chiefs of staff, community builders, program leads, anyone whose job is a network. Memory keeps every person and organization as a living record that fills in automatically from your calendar, inbox, and contacts. New people arrive as suggestions you review, so the network stays yours. Pre-meeting briefs put the person's context in your hand before you walk in, and warmth tracking tells you who to reach back out to this week.
