LetEmily

I built LetEmily because I’ve spent years managing people and I kept running into the same problem: I care about my people, but there is absolutely no way I can keep everything about everyone in my head.

Someone tells me about a trip they’re taking. Someone mentions a goal they want to work toward. I promise to follow up on something. There’s context from three different 1:1s that suddenly matters again two months later.

None of those things are huge on their own. But remembering them is part of what makes someone feel like you actually see them.

And when you’re managing a team, all of that gets mixed in with projects, deadlines, Slack messages, meetings, fires, and everything else.

That’s really where LetEmily came from.

I wanted something that didn’t just store my notes. I wanted something that could understand the whole picture of the people I lead.

Before a 1:1, I don’t want a summary of the last meeting. I want to know: What have we been talking about lately? What did I say I’d follow up on? What goals are we supposed to revisit? Did they mention something personal I should ask about? Is there a pattern I haven’t noticed?

Basically, I want to walk into that conversation feeling like I’m completely caught up.

That became Emily.

The idea is pretty simple: Emily remembers people, not meetings.

I still have to lead. Emily just helps me show up prepared and remember the things that matter.

That’s why LetEmily exists.
