So I found the feed inside the graph, which was a little bit difficult to find from my perspective, although I don't know if it was you guys' purpose to, because the feed is considered like a second way of communication or a what's the word that you guys use? Canonical? Canonical, yeah, like how? Yeah, it's like a second way of interacting in the hiring app instead of the normal way through the console, which I find it amazing because if you think about it, you want an application to actually just do the things for you and help you concentrate on the work instead of just focusing on profile generation, which is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to this type of platforms or networking platforms. So, wait, could you, I didn't fully get that last point. So the, which, you're looking at the feed at the, you're talking, or you're talking about the feed section right now? Which part? I'm talking about the feed section, which was a little bit difficult to find because I only found it during while I was watching the graph. I can show you right here. Let me share. Yeah, why don't you share your screen? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so I'm here. The only place I could find the feed was through the full graph and then in the feed. So you went to graph and then feed, so you couldn't click directly into the feed. This is the public page is the canonical source, which I found intriguing because it makes sense because I like your, I like how you, how you put the platform in a way that, how you develop the platform in a way that it, it focuses your work instead of focusing on other people's profiles and focusing on your own profile, building profile. You know what I mean? So, yeah. So putting that on our, putting that feed option on our, yeah, that's fun. On our uh, on our homepage at the top, that would be, you think that would be better? Not really, that's what I'm saying, because you guys want to avoid that if you want the platform to be only focused um to help you guys focus on the main job that you have to do. Know what I mean? Which is connecting people. Connecting people instead of building profile or seeing other people's profile. I think it will differentiate you from other networking platforms in that way if you wanna make something different. Um, because we're not focusing on the feed, right, we're focusing more on the direct connections. I like that. Focus on the connections and not the feed. Ah, interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's an interesting angle for us. So what else? I didn't understand videos is for the feed, right? To upload videos. Like you could upload your own videos. So if you make a connection with somebody, remember last time we had like our Zoom interview, you could upload that. Um, so like when you have a connection with somebody, you can like use that as your own. As your own uh like personal kind of database, you know? All right, makes sense. The meeting, I like the meeting page. Um we don't have a lot of options which you see in the month. I don't know if you can choose it somewhere else. Oh, here's your meeting. 26.
And so it would be nice to look into the future with the meeting calendar and log things into the future. But you could log one, right? Or, oh, you mean like, like, like assign your availability or how so? The availability and the meetings. I don't know about availability. I don't think it, I don't see a place where I can edit my availability here. I guess I just have to talk to the secretary for now. And for the log meetings, I didn't understand this, so you can choose, you guys have some type of file format or, or a calendar ICS? Like for share my card? Yes. So it's kind of like a virtual business card. so like if you want to make a card, like for yourself, um, you could like make a card for your, for your business or like who you are or some projects or something like that, and then you share that card with somebody and then they have like your uh they can connect with you. So when you click send your card, what does it show there? Yeah, try, let me say, let me send you one right now, post social instead. All right. I thought it was going Jonathan and Max, we met. All right, all right. Yeah, that's, that, that's um a project that our C or one of our other founders is um he's been like developing that out a little bit and buffing that out, so I know that's um That's kind of in progress, like how that card functionality is um Is working at this moment. The um. Okay, so the process is you share um some type of a file or take a photo, and then you share my, my card with that card with the person and makes it um special. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So what else? Who do I met? I put you in here. I was able to save. Create page. There was something else. Give me a second. Oh, whenever, whenever you send a message to the secretary in the main page, do you see this, that this, this place where it's scrolled right now? Yeah. Yeah, it jumps back into the, it jumps back to the same place always. Every time I send a message and I have to scroll back down. Oops. And um what else? I tried to sign into the feed. Paste in my account. Let me get it right here. And it says, um, the page or URL was not found. Which part? Whenever I try to um sign into the feed, I guess. Go to your page and then you add in your owner ID. Whoa. Where did this go? Oh, this is your other.
This is the page. And it's not functioning? No. You're sure that's your URL now, not your old URL, right? No, that's my new one. So what do you think about how these changes have been made? I think this is like night and day difference. I think when you tested, I think we were like, we were in a totally different space with all this. So what do you think about, yeah. I like the console, the console very hands on. It's confusing at first. Because I think, for example, who do I meet and videos is kind of confusing because you don't get to know right away this is explicitly for a some type of database. So I guess who I met and videos and maybe people should go in one section with records and maybe meetings, meetings should be on top. So from my perspective, if I think it's a little disorganized. It could use more work. But once I was like in my minute 11 or 12, I got the hang of it. I mean, the who I met page, when you try to add someone, you can't go back. So I got kind of lost here. There's no back button here, just like the other pages.
Yeah. Oh, so you'd like a back button, right? Yeah, a back button in the Who I Met capture page. I like this, even though I didn't find you here for some reason, even though I already added you. I don't know if I have to add you in my feed first, but this would be in the graph. They must be owners, right? Walter, who's Walter? That's one of our other founders. Jessie is new. Yeah, she's another one of our connectors. So, yeah, very hands-on. That's what I liked. And a little bit reorganized. Aside from that, if you work in the organization, I think it'll work wonders, especially because in the homepage, you have a brief of the things that you need to do that your secretary has organized for you, and then you have the inbox and the people and everything else. And that's what I like exactly. Everything is like, here's what you need to do, here are your updates, and the people you might want to meet, or you're in the meeting process, and you don't go straight to a webpage trying to delete or trying to upload something into a feed. The feed I found it in another section, which is great. Another hidden section, if you ask me, but... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that feed, yeah, you can't access it from this page, huh? No. Only from the people. And it's like hidden on the top here. I don't think there's another way to access it. I didn't find any other. Just taking some notes here. Yeah, and in the profile in here on the top right, it says pending login. Maybe that's the main issue with my signing in in the feed. There must be a bug in there somewhere. Let me take a screenshot of that. Cool. All right. Let's... Thank you so much for taking a look at this and giving me your raw thoughts on kind of the new redesign and everything like that. Yeah, super interested to see what you thought about all these changes since... Yeah, this is... I think what some of your initial feedback was also like, you'd like a more built-out web interface, so that's kind of the direction we ended up going. And you were able to get in on the iMessage feature as well, right? I thought you were saying something, some implementation that you were doing with iPhones when you said iMessage. When you say iMessage, are you referring to this, to the secretary message? No, no, no. When you go to our homepage, harry.ai, it still shows message, right? Let's see. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice, yeah. So, yeah, it is an integration with... Let me just test it. Give it a shot.
Check email, guy message. Yeah, it was delivered. It works. It works wonders. Oh, here's the feed in the homepage. All right, all right. Oh, here's the feed in the homepage. All right, all right. Oh, the log intro. This is for like making a referral. Whenever I connect to people, I just log them in here. Yeah, well, also, I think you introduced A to B offline. This is, like, offline. So if you didn't do it through the high network, then you could log the intro that way. Yeah. Would, um, take you some notes on your test. Um, yeah. So let's do this. Let's, let's take the next, like, five or so minutes. I think we tested, we ran through a lot of the new features. I love that you got exposure to this. I'm really happy about that. I hope, I hope you like, it sounds like you have a pretty positive impression with some of the changes we made. Let's just, like, take five minutes. I'll introduce, like, myself a little bit. We'll introduce you a little bit, and you can talk about, um, You can talk about, like, what you're doing with AI, how you see yourself.
fitting into like our network or if you think you'd use it or something like that, kind of like just talk about, you know, have like an AI chat for like five minutes, and then we can call this interview done, I think, because like we got a good amount of feedback and I kind of know what, we got a pretty good idea of things. You sound like an AI what? Like an AI chat. Like we'll just talk about like, you know, what we're doing in AI a little bit. For me, it's a lot of stuff focused with Hiri, and then you can talk about what you're doing with like automating workflows and everything like that and what you think about the Hiri, the new redesigned Hiri. All right. Hey, before I forget, I have something with the secretary. I'll just send them to you, but the secretary is not aware of the time whenever you ask her for a reply or a draft for a reply. And I think she should be aware whenever she makes like a draft. I'll just send it to you through the chat. Let me change my shirt real quick. I'll be back. All right, I'm here. Send a message. Okay, cool. Got it. So the more I found it, let's keep it. All right, well, hey, Jonathan, thanks for jumping on this call. We just talked a little bit about the redesigned Hiri website. And we, you kind of, this is our second time meeting and talking about it. You've kind of been following a little bit of what we've been working on here at Hiri and a lot of the changes we've made recently. Obviously, I'm Mark. I work at Hiri. I've worked here for about three years. And we recently launched this AI agent-mediated networking product and we've been just building it up brick by brick and getting it to, you know, taking a lot of feedback from people, improving it, and trying to figure out how to make it as useful as possible. So the last time we met, you were really helpful in helping us with that. So why don't you take a couple minutes to introduce yourself and talk a little bit about what you think about the redesigned product. Hey everyone, my name is Jonathan Nevarez, and I'm pretty much the founder of easy moves. It's an automation company here in Puerto Rico where I focus on pretty much everything. I have 10 years of IT experience, maybe more, more than 10 years, definitely. But right now I'm focusing on automation and AI.
And I really like all the changes that you guys have made with Hi-Rei. When I first started with you guys, it was just a skill on the cloud, and now you have an entire console that you can access many, many features, like the feed, like the contacts that you have in a graph, and many others. I like the fact that whenever you enter the console, it's very hands-on. It right away gives you all the recommendations that you need to do during the day and all the recommendations that the secretary gives you from all the conversations that it has done. And yeah, it was very excited to see all that change. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so yeah, we've come a long way from just being a cloud skill or a GPT skill just over the last month or so, I think, was the last time we talked. And yeah, and we have that networking feature. And one thing you said a little while ago when we were talking about it, it was just, that was interesting to me, was focusing on, we're focusing more on the networking aspect of it and less on kind of like the just scrolling, you know, we're really, our product is really focused on making infinite connections. Exactly. Now with everyday platforms like including LinkedIn and other job-focusing platform networking-focused platforms, whenever you enter the first thing you do is actually create the profile and just scroll through other profiles and you get lost in the profile aspects of watching all the information. You don't get overwhelmed with all that information through the console and through this interface. That's what I wanted to say. And you focus a lot in, like I told you, like whenever you jump in the platform, just the things that you have to do recommended by the secretary, which I found amazing because it was like a administrator assistant. And that's what I like about it. I didn't have to worry about The profile so much. I know the profile is still there and still you guys are still working with trying to synchronize it. But that's something that I liked a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's, that'll be something as we continue to build that out. I think that'll be really fun to see develop, you know, like that we have actually a real secretary involved and kind of your networking or social media kind of platform. So having that like actually available is a nice difference. Yeah. Yeah, and keeping on building that out. How do you think you'd use this personally, like the platform? Oh, I would like, it would be nice to like create your own network of people you actually trust and have them join in there to actually communicate and get used, like use the platform features because so far, all the things that I have seen, they are very efficient in some ways. You just told the secretary to jump in a meeting from this hour to that hour if, for example, I want to meet with you in X amount of time and it'll do it. It'll definitely do it and it'll save a lot of people, a lot of, it'll save a lot of time and with a powerful tool like that, it's something that I would like to promote with my colleagues and my clients, actually. Yeah. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, if you find that useful for yourself or anything like that, and even if you have any ideas that would make it more useful for your own personal workflow, you can always message me on that and I can have one of our developers or personally, we can make some changes to make the platform a little bit more useful for you. Definitely. And right before this meeting start, I sent you a meeting request to HiRe and it worked wonder. It gave us a link right away. You accepted it. Yeah. But we didn't use it, but it gave us a link right away. I was like, wow, this was fast. Yeah, about to go. That was kind of hard for us to get there. Now it's already kind of like built in and ready to go. Yeah. And the next thing we have in the pipeline is like a calendar management. So we're going to be integrating that closer into the system. So I know you really liked that calendar feature. So like I know we are building more.
into that. So, like, if you use Google Calendar, you can authenticate that, and then it can do the secretary and everything like that can kind of help interact and buff that out, make it more useful. Cool. All right, man. Well, thanks, Jonathan. Thanks so much for taking the time to chat with me tonight. We'll definitely stay in touch. And I'll, yeah, let me know if you have any ideas or any other features you want out of the network. And I'll talk to you soon. All right. Perfect. I'll let you know. Thank you, Martin. Thanks, man. Have a good night. Take care. Bye-bye.
