Try this one. "Who in my network haven't I talked to in 60 days that maps to my current goals?"
Before today, Claude would have given you a thoughtful framework for thinking about dormant relationships. Useful, in the way a book is useful. As of today, Goodword is live in Claude's connector directory, so the same question comes back with names, when you last spoke to each of them, why they matter to what you're working on right now, and an offer to set a reminder. Then it sets the reminder.
That last part is the bit worth paying attention to, and it's the reason we built the Claude connector the way we did.
Most connectors are lookups. They fetch something, hand it over, and that's the transaction. The Goodword Claude connector reads and writes, which means Claude can work inside your network rather than only quoting from it.
Once it's connected, Claude can:
Everything in that list that creates something, the notes, the reminders, the groups, the debriefs, lands in your Goodword account immediately. Ask Claude to log what came out of a call and it's in the app before you've finished the sentence.
Here's the pattern we kept watching before any of this existed. Someone finishes a good call. They know exactly what they owe the person and roughly when. Nine days later it's gone, not because they stopped caring but because nothing caught it.
A read only Claude connector cannot fix that. It can tell you what you already recorded, which is fine if you recorded it, and most people do not. The cost of writing something down has always been the whole problem, and asking someone to switch apps to pay it has never worked.
What the Claude connector does is collapse that cost to a sentence. You're already in the conversation. You say "debrief that meeting", and the notes, the commitments and the follow up all exist in your network a second later. The admin happens inside the thinking, which is the only place it reliably happens at all.
A Claude connector is only as good as what sits behind it, and Claude is a careful enough reader that a thin network produces visibly thin answers.
Goodword pulls from LinkedIn, Gmail and Outlook, Google and Outlook calendars, Luma, Granola, your phone contacts, Instagram, X, and any CSV you want to bring in. The full list lives on our integrations page. What comes out of that is not a contact list. It's the relationship underneath it: how you met, who introduced you, what you've discussed, how long it's been, what you said you'd do.
That's the material the Claude connector hands over, and it's why the answers have specifics in them. When Claude tells you the warmest path to someone runs through a particular person, it's because there's a real reason sitting in your history that you'd stopped remembering.
This is the part people tend to find out by accident, so we'll say it plainly. The Claude connector does not run on its own island. If you've got your calendar connected to Claude as well, you can ask it to brief you on everyone in tomorrow's meetings and it will go and get the attendees, then come back through Goodword with who they are, how you know them and what you last promised them.
The same stacking works for research. "Find everyone I met at the summit, research their companies, and draft a personalised follow up for each" uses three different capabilities in one instruction, and Goodword's job in that chain is the part no other tool can do: knowing who you actually met.
Another one worth stealing: "Cross reference my network against companies that just raised, who's my warmest path in?" We've written separately about how to ask for a warm introduction without putting the person in the middle in an awkward position. Finding the path was always the hard half.
Connecting Goodword gets you the capabilities. The skills get you the judgement about how to use them, which is a different thing.
There are five, and you add them in Claude under Settings then Skills: Debrief, Intro, Meeting prep, Network review and Organize network. Each one is a set of instructions for doing a job properly rather than generically. Meeting prep knows what's actually worth surfacing before you walk into a room. Debrief knows the difference between a note and a commitment. Network review is the one most people underuse, and it's the closest thing to a quarterly audit of relationships you've let go cold.
They're optional. The Claude connector works without them. They are the difference between a capable assistant and one that handles your relationships the way a good chief of staff would.
In Claude, open Settings then Connectors, find Goodword, click Connect and sign in. The Claude connector takes under a minute to set up and there's nothing to configure afterwards. Then ask it "What can I do with the Goodword MCP?" and let it tell you, which is a faster introduction than any documentation we could write.
The ChatGPT plugin works the same way and reads from the same place, so you're not maintaining two versions of your network. If you came looking for the file based route into ChatGPT instead, that's covered in how to get your LinkedIn network into ChatGPT. Both setup paths, the skills and the full step by step live on your network in your AI, and there's a longer setup guide in our help centre covering Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini.
Every few years a tool arrives that makes the public internet easier to reach, and the advantage it creates evaporates about as fast as it appears, because everyone gets it on the same morning. Research used to be a moat. It's a utility now.
What does not commoditise is the set of people who'd take your call. That's what decides which round closes, which hire lands, which opportunity reaches you before it reaches the market. It has just never had infrastructure behind it, so most people run it on memory and goodwill and lose a little more of it every year.
The Claude connector is a small piece of plumbing. What it's plumbed into is the only asset you own that nobody can copy. Ask it something today that you would not have bothered asking yesterday.
