Step 1: Download the apps
Goodword is available on both mobile and desktop. Download both so you always have access to your network wherever you are.
iOS app — download on the App Store
Desktop app — download at goodword.com
Step 2: Connect your integrations
Goodword gets smarter the more context it has. To connect your accounts, click your profile picture in the bottom left corner of the app.
Available integrations include:
LinkedIn — syncs your connections and surfaces follow-up opportunities
Google Calendar — pulls in your meetings so Goodword can track interactions automatically
Google Contacts — imports your existing contact list
Outlook — syncs your calendar events and contacts
At minimum, we recommend connecting LinkedIn and your calendar to get started.
Step 3: Set your goals
During onboarding, you'll be asked what you're working toward — things like building community, finding mentorship, or growing your visibility. Your goals shape the recommendations and actions Goodword surfaces for you.
Step 4: Clear your weekly networking stack
Your networking stack is Goodword's weekly list of suggested actions — the most important things you can do right now to maintain and grow your relationships. Actions fall into three categories:
Follow-ups — reach out to new connections while they're fresh, or check in with someone you haven't spoken to in a while
Add Context — log notes from recent interactions so Goodword remembers the details for you
Organize — build out your groups, add people to your Champions list, or create a new group around a goal
Set aside 10–15 minutes each week to work through your stack. Think of it like inbox zero, but for your network.
Step 5: Explore your network
Once your integrations are connected, Goodword starts building a picture of your network. A few things worth exploring:
People — search your contacts by name, role, company, or location. Try something like "product managers in Austin" and see what comes up.
Recommendations — Goodword surfaces people you should reconnect with or reach out to, grouped by goals like networking, mentorship, and personal branding
Groups — organize your contacts (e.g., Champions, Investors, Alumni) so Goodword can help you stay on top of the right people
AI Chat — ask Goodword anything about your network. Use it to find contacts, build groups, draft messages, or figure out who to reconnect with next.
Step 6: Log your first debrief
After a meeting or call, take 2 minutes to log what happened in the app. Just write out your thoughts in plain language — Goodword will extract the people, notes, and follow-ups automatically. No specific format needed.
✨ Power user setup (optional)
Once you're comfortable with the basics, consider connecting Goodword to Claude Desktop via the Goodword MCP extension. It lets you access your contacts, notes, reminders, and more directly inside Claude — so you can do everything in one place without switching between apps.
