Things we learned before we built LumiContacts

Have you ever bitten off more than you could chew, both in food and business?

We have. LumiCRM was our first lumi native app built on top of the LumIntelligence platform. But our ambition got the better of us as we were not totally ready for all the enterprise features. Still, we learned a ton from building it and collecting feedback.

There is a lot of validation for the app and the platform as a whole; here are my top 3:

  1. Hallucinations remain one of the biggest hurdles to consumer confidence in AI.
  2. We designed the interactions to fit the human scale to mask the complexity because we think capable systems should be easy to use.
  3. It really shouldn’t be a surprise, but not everything needs to be AI??? (Did your manager want another AI feature again?)

That said, we picked up the pieces and launched a personal relationship app, LumiContacts.

It also starts as a private beta, and general self-service signup will happen soon. We kept the best parts of LumiCRM like flexible inputs and traceable search results, and we added more personal features like Actions to help strengthen your network.

What’s the call-to-action of this post? I don’t really know. There’s no shortage of things to do, build, and explore at LumIntelligence. Tackling AI hallucinations has always been the mission and we are making pretty good time. Check out LumiContacts if you want to be among the first to try it.
