# Revolv: Agentic Relationship Intelligence

> Revolv is an iOS app that helps you build the relationships that move you forward.

It's the relationship intelligence platform, the CRM alternative, for people who build relationships, not pipelines.

## What is Revolv?

Revolv is agentic relationship intelligence for professionals: AI-powered, on-device, and private. It captures context from every conversation, then proactively surfaces the relationships going quiet, the warm introduction paths you'd have missed, and the right moment to reach out. From day one, using only your calendar and contacts, it shows who in your network is slipping away.
