Monaru

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Romy, co-founder of Monaru. Monaru is a virtual assistant that helps you stay close and connected with your family and friends. We want to help people be intentional with their relationships. After a 15 minute on-boarding chat, we create a tailored set of suggestions and reminders to help you delight the people you care about. We might suggest a new place for you to take your spouse for date night, or we might remind you that you haven't called your brother in over a month. Being thoughtful is something people generally see as a personality trait. We don’t agree, we think it is a skill. Some people are naturally very good at this, and some people aren’t (my co-founder Patrick never replies to my texts 😢) Our hunch is that there are more people out there, like Patrick, who really care about their relationships but need a little help to bring focus to them and to make sure the important things are remembered. We want Monaru to be your new Superpower 🦸‍♂️, a tool that gets rid of the anxiety around remembering or planning and lets you focus on the important part: connecting. Please try us out, we would love to have you on board and make the people close to you happy 😊 Romy

I've been using Monaru for a while now and I've been extremely impressed. The recommendations, suggestions, and nudges are creative and deftly personalized. The service and app takes on a lot of the logistics and research, and lets me spend more time on the heart of the matter - being thoughtful and connecting with my close friends and family.
