FollowSpace — Structured Follow-Up Intelligence

FollowSpace is a modern web application designed for freelancers, founders, sales professionals, and job seekers to capture, organize, and act on commitments made during everyday conversations. Instead of relying on manual data entry, users can simply speak or type natural language, and the intelligent backend automatically structures, schedules, and tracks follow-ups.

1. Natural Language Voice and Text Capture

Users can speak their commitments directly within the browser. By leveraging the browser-native Web Speech API, voice transcriptions are processed locally, providing near-zero latency while eliminating additional infrastructure costs.

2. LLM-Based Information Extraction

When a user submits a sentence such as, “I sent the invoice to Sarah and told her I would follow up next Tuesday,” the backend sends the input to Google Gemini AI. The model returns structured data containing:

• Contact Name

• Action Item

• Due Date

• Priority Level

Relative dates are converted into absolute ISO dates using server-side timestamps, while task priority is automatically inferred from the context.

3. Smart Contact Disambiguation

To maintain database accuracy without creating friction, FollowSpace uses a custom confirmation workflow. When multiple contacts share the same name, such as “Sarah from Design” and “Sarah from Sales,” the system presents an interactive selection interface before creating a new record. This prevents duplicate entries and preserves relationship history within a single timeline.

4. Kanban Dashboard and Contact Timeline

Follow-ups are organized through the following statuses:

• Pending

• Overdue

• Done

• Snoozed

Each contact has a dedicated chronological timeline displaying previous interactions, completed tasks, and upcoming follow-ups, allowing users to review important context before reconnecting.

5. Automated Reminders and Notifications

Using Vercel Cron Jobs, the system performs daily checks for due and overdue tasks. Users receive:

• In-app notifications through a real-time notification panel

• Daily reminder emails delivered through Resend

This ensures that important commitments are never missed.

6. Design System

The interface is inspired by Stripe’s design language and built with Tailwind CSS.
