Awiden vs AI assistants
AI assistants do a bit of everything.
Awiden does one thing: who to ask.
New AI assistants promise to run your inbox, calendar and tasks. Awiden is the specialist: it finds the people who can move your goal forward, across your whole team, and the warm way in.
“Who should introduce us to the COO of Meridell Health?”
an AI assistant
It can search your own inbox for her name and draft an email to her. It sees one person's mail, so it cannot tell you that a colleague knows her better than you do.

Alex knows Rachel Pryce wellLast spoke in October
Sam has met her twiceLast spoke in MayRachel Pryce signs off new suppliers. Ask Alex, not her inbox.
Three things an AI assistant is not built to do.
Built for one job
Every part of it serves one question: who can move this goal forward, and how do we reach them.
Your whole team's network
Each colleague connects their own email, so the answer covers everyone, not only you.
Trust built in
Stored and processed in Europe, never used for training, and colleagues never see what was said.
A generalist and a specialist.
| Compared | Awiden | General AI personal assistants |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | One job: the right person, and the warm way in | Many jobs: inbox, scheduling, drafting and tasks |
| Whose network | Your whole team's, each person connecting their own account | Usually one person's own accounts |
| Relationship depth | How well someone is known, by whom, and when they last spoke | Messages to sort, summarise and answer |
| Between colleagues | Colleagues see who knows whom, never what was said | Not designed for sharing relationships across a team |
| Where answers come from | Every reason shows where Awiden read it | Varies by product |
| Your data | Stored and processed in Europe, and never used for training | Depends on the provider and your plan settings |
