I've always been a relationship seller. I agree that a lot of the AI hype surrounding outbound is going to be short lived. When everyone can do infinite outbound, no one will be able to break through. The AI arms race to get a slight edge on response rates is going to destroy that channel.

I've been working on https://humancrm.io to scratch my own itch. A CRM that helps me stay focused on relationships. I'm explicitly not adding any AI or automation to it.

I’ve been looking for something to get better at my personal contacts. I’m not really on LinkedIn. Maybe I’ll get on just to try this, but reach out if I could try it some other way.

Thanks! I sent an invite to the email on your profile.

Looks great, is it comparable to Monica [1] or is it more business oriented?

Thanks! HumanCRM is similar to Monica in its people focus (I also add my friends into HumanCRM), but is definitely more oriented towards professional networks. I'm also starting out with more focused feature set: emphasizes connecting with people rather than recording information.

So there is only a handful of primary entities: Humans, Leads, Deals, Communities (thus no Pets, Contacts, Tasks, Photos, Documents, etc).

I might expand it to capture more data in the future, but waiting to see what users make use of.

This resonates with me; I hope you're ahead of the curve and we see a time when there's a non-AI valuation multiplier for products & companies.

Thanks, I hope so too! I think by the end of the year sales AI disillusionment will really start set in and I'll have polished HumanCRM enough by then. All of the existing CRM players are going heavy into automation so this might stand out.
