Deeta for Students — remember everyone you meet on campus

The problem

The people you meet now are the network you have at thirty

Hundreds of names in one year

Orientation, lectures, labs, the two societies you joined in week one. You will meet almost none of them twice in a row, and you will need a surprising number of them later.

The ask always comes months afterwards

The recommendation in October. The referral in March. The intro the summer after graduation. By then the detail that made the person worth knowing has gone.

And it is nobody else’s business

No feed, no profile, no directory anyone can browse. What you note about a professor or a recruiter stays on your phone, which is the only sensible place for it.

How it works

A record the other person keeps current

Every tool that asked you to maintain it by hand has already failed you. This one is maintained by the person who actually knows the detail.

Live records

Everyone you know is about to move at once

Graduation scatters an entire year group in the same three months — new cities, new emails, the university address that quietly stops working. Anyone who keeps their own profile current updates on your side without either of you thinking about it.

They maintain it, not you — the new number lands on your side when they change it.
Per field, so a classmate can hand you an email without handing you their phone number.
Yours either way — what you saved about them stays on your device whether or not they keep a profile.

Getting things in

Every tool like this dies of the same thing: typing. So mostly, you don’t.

Your whole address book is here on day one, and it stays that way — synced both ways with your phone, so anything that lands in your contacts lands in Deeta, and any edit you make here shows up there. Nothing to import, nothing stranded in a second app. After that a detail takes about two seconds, in whatever way suits the moment you’re in.

Capture

Say it, paste it, or save it from wherever you already are

The detail you want is almost never in front of you at a keyboard — it is in a conversation, a message, or a passing remark. So capture goes where you are rather than asking you to come to it.

Just say it. Talk, pause, think, keep talking — the session holds your transcript and waits, and you commit when you are done. Transcribed on your device.
Type or paste. Drop in a chunk of an email or your own scribbled notes and it pulls out the individual details for you to confirm.
Straight from Messages, or any other app. Share it to Deeta and it is saved against the right person without you leaving the app you were in.
Someone sends you their digital business card? Share a Blinq, HiHello or Popl link to Deeta and it arrives as real, structured details — name, title, company, numbers, socials — not a dead URL you will never open again.
Or they just AirDrop you a contact. Send it straight to Deeta — by AirDrop, or from a Mail or Messages attachment — and it comes in as details to confirm, rather than a card you have to file somewhere else first.
From an answer. Ask a question, then turn what comes back into a saved detail in one tap.
Or type it. Manual entry is still there, still quick — and edits flow back to your phone’s contacts automatically.

Two seconds per detailNo import to sit through

Just ask

Questions you could actually ask it

Plain English, answered out of the details you have already saved — on your own device in Private Mode, or by the AI provider you picked.

Who did I meet at the career fair?
Which professor said they would write me a recommendation?
Who do I know at a company I am applying to?
Who is on my group project, and what did they say they would do?

Plain-language queryAnswered from your graph

Your data. Your AI. Your choice.

You pick the AI. Including none of them.

Most apps hardwire one AI vendor and never mention it. You choose which one answers your questions — and whether one leaves your device at all.

Choose your provider

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Grok — or none. Set a primary and a backup for when the first one is down. On every tier, including free.

Or run it entirely on your device

Private Mode answers from your records without anything being transmitted. Ask about public things and only an anonymous search leaves — never your contacts, names or details.

And it works with no signal

On a plane or underground, Private Mode picks up automatically and you can still ask about the people you know. It is the resilient path, not a degraded one.

Privacy by architecture

Most contact products aggregate your data. This one is built so we can’t.

Data minimisation here is structural, not a promise in a policy. And we are deliberate about the claims we do not make — that precision is the point.

What is true

Your records live in an encrypted store on your device, not in a readable pile on our servers.
In Private Mode nothing is transmitted at all — the reasoning runs on your device. Ask about something public and a web search goes out, never your contacts, names or details.
If you choose a cloud provider instead, you choose which one — your question and the relevant records go to that provider under commercial terms that forbid training on your content, and we keep nothing.
Sharing is per attribute and consent-gated — you grant specific fields to a specific person, and it travels as ciphertext we cannot read.
A grant is revocable, and what you share cannot flow onward to anyone you never authorised.
We do not sell or share your information with anyone, ever. There is no ad model here.

What we do not claim

Not “your data never leaves your device,” flat. That is true in Private Mode and not true if you pick a cloud provider. We would rather tell you which is which than use the flattering version of the sentence.
Not that Private Mode matches a big cloud model at everything. It is better on your own records — everything stays on the device — and weaker at open-world reasoning. The app says so when it matters.
Not that we have solved privacy. We have narrowed what we can see, and we describe the narrow paths plainly.
Not a claim we can’t evidence. If you find us overclaiming anywhere, tell us and we will correct it.

That second column is unusual on a marketing page, and it is there on purpose: a narrower claim you can check beats a broad one you can’t. The detail is in our privacy policy, or the same thing in plain English — and our founder is a founding signatory of the HumanTerms pledge, so we audit ourselves against all eleven of its commitments, in public.

Questions

What students ask first

My classmates are already in my phone. What does this add?

Your phone holds a name and a number. It does not hold that she is the one who actually understood the distributed systems material, that he owes you the back half of the project by Thursday, or that the professor said to ask about the letter by early October and to send a CV with it.

Those are the parts you will need, and they are exactly the parts nothing currently keeps.

Can a professor or a recruiter see what I have written about them?

No. What you save about someone is yours, on your device, and it is never shown to them or to anyone else.

Sharing in Deeta only ever works the other way round: you can grant fields from your own profile to a specific person, one field at a time, and take it back later. Your notes about other people are not part of that, ever.

Does it need my university email or my student ID?

Neither. Deeta is tied to you, not to an institution — deliberately, because your account should outlive your enrolment. Your school has no visibility into it, cannot administer it, and nothing you saved disappears when the university address stops working.

What happens to all of this when I graduate?

It comes with you. The records live on your device and in your account, not in a campus system, so nothing expires at the end of term.

Which is rather the point. The value of the several hundred people you met is almost entirely in the ten years after you leave.

How much work is this to keep up?

Less than you are expecting, and that is deliberate — every product in this category has died of exactly this.

Your whole address book is there from day one, synced both ways with your phone, so there is no import and nothing stranded in a second app. After that a detail is about two seconds: say it out loud, paste a chunk of an email or your notes, share something straight from Messages or any other app, share a digital business card someone sent you and have it come in as structured details, or turn an answer you just got into a saved detail. Typing it by hand still works — it is just rarely the fastest way.

Someone AirDropped me a contact — does that work?

Yes — hand it straight to Deeta. A contact sent by AirDrop, email or message can be opened in Deeta, or shared to it, and it arrives as real details — name, title, company, numbers, socials — for you to confirm. Same review step a shared business card goes through. A file holding a few contacts is reviewed one at a time. It is meant for a card someone hands you, not a whole address book exported from another app — that is a different job, and not one Deeta does yet.

Or let your phone do it: save it in your iPhone’s Contacts app instead and it still shows up in Deeta within seconds, because the two stay synced both ways.

Two honest limits: nothing is saved until you confirm it, and a photo attached to the contact file is not carried over — every other field is.

Someone sent me their Blinq card. Can I save that?

Yes — and it arrives as real details, not a link you will never open again. Share a Blinq, HiHello or Popl card to Deeta and it reads the name, title, company, numbers and socials off it and offers them to you as candidates. New card services get added without needing an app update.

The honest limits: it reads the card on your device when you ask it to, nothing is harvested server-side; you confirm before anything is saved; and it takes a snapshot rather than watching their card forever — the original link is kept alongside. If a card is built in a way it cannot read, it saves the link and says so instead of guessing at a value.
