We’re excited to announce the release of Steer’s new AI model, purpose built to help people build better relationships to improve their life, career, and business.
The Steer AI can be used like a chat agent: you can ask questions, explore ideas, and think through decisions. What makes it different is that it is designed specifically around people and relationships. It can help you find relevant people on the open web, research them, understand how they are connected, and support thoughtful outreach. The people it finds do not need to be on Steer.
For founders, this means being able to ask the AI to help identify venture capitalists, angels, or operators aligned with your company. You can ask questions about their background, past investments, or interests, and have the AI generate a personalized message you can send directly from your own email. It acts as a research partner, strategist, and writing assistant in one place.
For students and early career professionals, the AI can help identify professionals in specific roles or industries, suggest who to reach out to, and help craft thoughtful messages for coffee chats, mentorship, or career advice. You can talk through your goals, ask what questions to ask, and get guidance on how to follow up over time.
Beyond discovery and outreach, the model helps manage relationships after the first conversation. You can tell the AI what you discussed, and it will save that context to the person’s profile. Over time, this helps you stay organized, remember details that matter, and build relationships intentionally rather than letting them fade.
The model is trained on leading research in relationship building and networking, allowing it to offer practical suggestions and reminders as you go. The goal is not to automate relationships, but to help people be more thoughtful, prepared, and consistent in how they build them.
This release marks an important step forward for Steer as we continue building tools that help people form meaningful, high quality connections.
