Coming soon: Steer's breakthrough AI model that discovers people, writes personalized messages, and sends them directly within the app.
Relationship building has always been the hidden key to success. Every great leader and entrepreneur understood this. The people who rose to the top didn't do it alone, they had the ability to connect, to find the right allies, to open doors that others didn't even know existed. For most of us, though, building those kinds of relationships has been slow, awkward, and uncertain. Hours spent scrolling, staring at blank screens, rewriting the same sentences, never sure if the message would land. That's about to change in a big way.
What makes this release different is how natural it feels. At its core, it's a chatbot. You can type anything into the chat, like find me a Queen's alum in wealth management, introduce me to a Google engineer from Waterloo, connect me with a Deloitte consultant in Vancouver, and it happens right there in the conversation. Inside the chat, the AI discovers the right person, crafts a message that feels personal and real, and sends it directly through your Gmail. The entire process begins and ends in one place.
Steer is about to release something the world has never seen before: the first AI built to actually help you build relationships. Not just by giving you advice, not just by offering templates, but by doing the heavy lifting alongside you. Imagine this. You're at Queen's, looking to break into wealth management. You ask Steer AI to help you reach out to a Queen's alum who's already working in the field. In seconds, it finds the right person, creates a message that feels natural and personal, something that ties your story to theirs and shows exactly why you're reaching out, and then sends it directly to their email through your Gmail. Instead of waiting and hoping someone notices you on LinkedIn, you're in their inbox with a message they'll actually want to read. The difference in response rates is dramatic.
And it works anywhere. A Waterloo student aiming for a role at Google can ask Steer AI to connect them with a software engineer who walked the same path. A McGill student looking to break into investment banking in New York can find themselves in touch with an alum at Goldman Sachs. A Western student dreaming of marketing at Shopify can suddenly be emailing someone already inside the company. A TMU student hoping for a career in real estate can reach out to someone at Colliers or CBRE in Toronto. A UBC student thinking about consulting can end up in conversation with a Deloitte consultant in Vancouver. Each of these examples used to require endless searching, guesswork, and cold LinkedIn requests. With Steer AI, they happen in seconds, with messages that actually sound like you wrote them yourself.
It isn't limited to students either. Imagine a founder preparing to expand into Europe. You ask Steer AI to connect you with someone at a London fintech, and within moments, an email is drafted and sent to exactly the right person, framed around who you are, what you're building, and why the conversation matters. Or think of a recent graduate who knows the role they want but not how to reach the people who have it. Product managers at Meta, analysts at RBC, policy advisors in Ottawa, energy traders in Calgary, lawyers on Bay Street, the AI makes those introductions possible.
What makes this so powerful is not just the automation. It's the way it removes the barriers that hold people back. Relationship building has always felt like an art form that only a few gifted people could master. Now it becomes accessible to anyone. Instead of worrying about how to phrase an introduction or spending hours trying to find the right person, you can focus on what actually matters: the conversations, the learning, the growth. Steer AI makes the first step effortless, so you can spend your energy on the second.
And this release goes beyond sending outreach. The AI is also your partner in the process. It can help you figure out how to follow up after a conversation, how to prepare for a coffee chat, how to phrase an introduction in a way that leaves an impression. It's not just giving you abstract advice, it's helping you act on it in real time, in a way that feels personal and alive. This is not another productivity tool. It's something entirely new. The first AI that can build relationships with you is coming soon. And when it arrives, the way people connect, the way people open doors, find mentors, launch careers, and grow, will never be the same. Be on the watch to be the first to use it.
