Show HN: I got sick of sequencers and CRMs, so I built this

Ember launched as a relationship-management tool that connects to a user's existing email inbox and CRM, reads the full relationship history, and autonomously drafts or sends the next action for each contact, according to the product's Show HN announcement. The company claims Ember can manage thousands of relationships simultaneously — each in a different deal phase — versus the few hundred a person can handle well, and it positions itself as a system of action layered on top of an existing CRM rather than a replacement or a sequence tool. Ember offers a free contact audit with one-click connection and no credit card required.

Ember connects to your email and CRM, understands every relationship you have, and determines the next action for each one. Then it does the work, so every deal keeps advancing, day and night.

Get your free contact audit Connect in one click. No card required.

One relationship: who they are, where the deal stands, what happens next.

Sync your accounts. Ember finds your best prospects. #

Connect the inbox and CRM you already run. Ember reads the entire history, sorts buyers from noise, and puts the people worth managing on your pipeline. This is not another CRM. No sequences to build.

Pipeline

Ember is putting your first prospects on this board

Reading your mail, building your pipeline…

Inbox connected. First prospects on the board in under a minute.

The bottleneck isn't more contacts. It's managing the ones you have. #

Relationships take real effort. Your team cannot effectively manage everyone already in the pipeline, so deals sit and warm leads go cold. A person can run a few hundred relationships well. Ember works thousands at once — every one of them in a different phase, every one of them moving.

Level of touch

Many ways to advance someone. Ember picks the right one.

Email scales. Sometimes a call closes the gap. Sometimes a meeting is the move. Ember knows what works for each person, and knows your preferences for when you want to step in.

Re: the rollout timeline

Can you send the rollout timeline? Ops needs it before Thursday.

Syncs on top of the email and CRM you already run. #

Ember is not designed to replace them. It reads the relationships you already have, and handles the next move.

Ember

System of action

Not another CRM

No migration. Your CRM stays the system of record.

Not a sequence tool

No cadences, templates, or a canvas to build.

Sends as you

From the inbox you already use, with your approval when you want it. On top of the stack you already run

Best-in-class relationship intelligence. #

Like nothing you have used before. Ember times the move, knows the person, and keeps the book full.

A reply lands at 6:47am.

The response is drafted and waiting in your queue before you've opened your laptop.

Waiting for your approval

A contact goes quiet mid-deal.

Ember picks the right moment to re-engage, and leads with something they actually need.

Timed to their calendar

Someone said reach out in July.

Ember waits until July, then opens with something new and worth their time. Not a check-in.

Send date honored

A new contact comes in.

Ember figures out whether they're a real lead or a bad fit, before you spend a minute on them.

Matches your buyer profile

A contact changes jobs.

Ember updates their profile and re-reads the relationship, so you're never selling to the wrong version of someone.

Relationship re-read

A new name shows up on a thread.

CC'd, mentioned, or sitting in a meeting: Ember adds them, reads where they fit, and starts a strategy.

Strategy started

Wake up to progress, not a backlog. #

Ember advances relationships continuously. You come back to deals that moved in the last day, not a stack of follow-ups you never got to.
