Show HN: I made an iOS app that pulls data about people and companies you meet

Not sure if this is the perfect place for it, but I wanted to share a tool I built.

Whenever you meet someone new, you usually have to research who they are and where they work. LinkedIn helps, but info is scattered across multiple sources. I never enjoyed that process, so with the rise of LLMs, I built Crilo: click a button and get the research you need.

What it does • Calendar & contact integration (optional): Crilo links to your Google or Outlook calendar via Apple Calendar. • Instant research: Tap an event (or contact), and Crilo finds as much info as it can—no extra input needed. • Context blending: Merges those findings with any notes you’ve already added to the invite. • Quick ideas: Suggests icebreakers and agenda starters so you never blank. • Source transparency: See exactly where each insight came from if you want to dive deeper.

Tech & timeline • Built in 3 months as a personal side project • Stack: SwiftUI frontend + Python backend on AWS for data gathering and AI summarization • Model: Freemium—a free trial followed by a month‑to‑month subscription

Try it out 1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts and add Google or Outlook (if you haven’t already). 2. Download Crilo from the App Store (no sign‑up or email required): https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6738512640?pt=12712...
