Cicero

A prototype for remembering conversations and following up with people.

Daniel Holguin

I designed and built Cicero to capture and retrieve the context around a relationship: what someone told you, what matters to them, and what you meant to follow up on. Fifty founders, executives, students, and researchers have tested the prototype.

The product grew alongside my research into memory, relationships, and human-AI interaction. I studied work across neuroscience, organizational psychology, and computing to understand how a tool might help people retain useful context over time.

That research also led to The Social Memory Gap, which examines why relationships fade even when people intend to stay in touch. The prototype gives me a way to explore those questions through something people can use.
