  • AI pipelines: free-text self-descriptions parsed into interests and skills, content moderation, automatic tagging, semantic search, and an email path that publishes a forwarded message as a card.
  • A personalized discovery feed on a sawtooth-staircase ranking algorithm, batched and preloaded in the background so the first card paints instantly.
  • Real-time group and direct messaging with unread tracking, push notifications, and universal deep links that resolve from a cold start.
