A Dex alternative that runs your professional network for you

Run your network without running a CRM

The intro you promised three weeks ago is still sitting there. So is the conference connection going cold, and the customer due for a check-in. Business runs on that kind of follow-through, which is the only reason anyone keeps a CRM at all.

Dex is a beautifully kept rolodex, and you're the one keeping it. Fasrad keeps it for you and acts on what's in it.

Here's what changes:

• Meeting prep is in chat before the calendar reminder fires. One brief covers recent emails, last call notes and what you owe them. You skip the pre-meeting tab dance.
• Sweeps replace timeline scrolling. Ask "Who from the conference still needs a follow-up?" and the answer comes back with drafts attached, ready to send. There's no view to configure.
• The network updates itself. Inbound and outbound email ties to the right contact automatically, with thread context, attachments and what was promised.
• Profile context comes to you. Your assistant browses LinkedIn, X and company news on demand using your credentials, and the context lands inside your brief.
• Conference connections capture themselves. A voice memo from a booth or a badge photo attaches to the right contact with the right tag. Forwarded intros and web profile clips do too.

Switching from Dex takes one upload. Your contacts come across with LinkedIn, company, titles, tags and the full interaction timeline intact, and standard column names auto-map without a setup wizard.

Fasrad tends the database, surfaces who's slipping and drafts the follow-up before you've remembered to send it. The network is still yours, and the bookkeeping is gone.

Frequently asked questions

How do I migrate my Dex contacts?

Export a CSV from Dex (Settings → Export → CSV), then ask your assistant to import the file. Standard column names auto-map without changes: Name, Email, Phone, Company, Title, LinkedIn, Website, Tags.

Will my Dex notes and interaction timeline come across?

Yes. Contacts, notes and the full interaction timeline import in a single CSV. Every email, meeting and note you logged in Dex lands against the right contact, with original timestamps preserved. Nothing is lost.

Does Fasrad sync with LinkedIn?

Yes. It keeps the LinkedIn URL on each contact, and your assistant browses a profile with your credentials whenever you ask. You can also schedule it ("refresh my key contacts' LinkedIn each Monday"), and profile changes and company news land against the right contact automatically.

How do follow-up sweeps work?

You ask in chat: "who from the conference still needs a follow-up?", "which clients are due for a check-in?", "who haven't I replied to from this week's intros?" Your assistant reviews the network and returns a list with drafts attached, ready to send. You never configure a view or maintain a pipeline.

Can I set custom reminder cadences per contact?

Yes: weekly, monthly, quarterly or never. Your assistant respects the cadence. Instead of a ping on a manual date, you hear who's slipping, with a draft already written.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Fasrad is web-first and works in any browser, including mobile. Telegram works as a chat surface too, so you can reach your assistant from a phone screen in the middle of a meeting.

What if I want my data back out?

You own your CRM. It supports standard CSV export, and our APIs give you direct access to the underlying records.
