## What it watches

| Sense                | Needs                                     | What it catches                                |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Meetings & email** | Google connected (Outlook when available) | People you meet and email                      |
| **Screen**           | Mac desktop · Screen Recording            | Names and profiles you encounter while working |

For **Apple Messages** (iMessage / SMS), use [Connect → Messages](/guides/connect#messages-pro) — that path reads chats on your Mac to add people, summaries, and tags.

Turn senses on from Connect / Autopilot settings on Mac. Start with Meetings & email if you want the calmest path.

## What you should expect

* Suggestions for people to add or update — not a silent CRM rewrite of your life
* Better timeline context on people you actually interact with
* Pair with [Signals](/guides/signals) so job changes and reminders stay visible

## Requirements

* **Pro** plan
* **Mac desktop app** for Screen
* For Meetings & email: connect Google first

iPhone can search and capture; Autopilot Screen stays on Mac.

<Warning>
  Grant only the permissions you are comfortable with. You can disable individual senses anytime.
</Warning>
