Ask a Hoop
Ask your team's network…
Your team's workspace0 contactsCollective knowledge for teams
Turn what your
team knows into
the trusted path
Your team's knowledge is scattered across everyone's inbox, calendar and LinkedIn. Hoopit connects it into one private, collective knowledge base. Ask a question in plain language and, in minutes rather than weeks, get the right person, the reason, and the path to reach them.
01The problem
Your team already knows the answer. Four barriers keep it out of reach.
The right person is buried in someone's inbox, a half-remembered intro, a network no one can see end to end. And any AI you put on top inherits the same silos.
Knowledge sharing isn't a feature of an AI agent. It's the precondition for trusting one.

Not invented here
01Teams don't look outside their own unit. The expert who could help sits two desks — or two offices — away, and nobody thinks to ask.

02What people know stays with them. There's no easy, safe way to make a relationship useful to the team without exposing the private history behind it.

03No one can see who knows what. "Who do we know at X?" gets pinged around Slack and answered from partial memory, every single time.

The transfer problem
04Knowledge doesn't move. Context lives in inboxes and weak ties, and it walks out the door when people leave.
02See how Hoopit works
Connect your data.
Build collective knowledge.
Ask who can help.
The right expert is often a weak tie. Hoopit turns your team's combined sources into one private, collective knowledge base, and returns the trusted path: who to reach, why, and through whom.
Every member's sources feed one private workspace.
Inbox, calendar, LinkedIn and files connect in minutes — for you and every teammate. Hoopit merges duplicates and keeps the workspace in sync.
03Why Hoopit is different
A connected chatbot reads your inbox. Hoopit knows your team's network.
Plug an AI assistant into your Gmail and it can search your own mailbox. It still sees messages, not people — and it can't see who your colleagues know. Hoopit adds the layers that turn the same question into a trusted path.

Led 11 European healthcare investments
The right person, the reason, and the route to reach them — kept in a shortlist and a report for the team's next decision.
04Collective knowledge
Raw records become knowledge you can ask.
Connecting sources is only the start. Hoopit consolidates, enriches and reasons over what your team knows — so an answer isn't a name, it's the right person, with the reason.
One person, one profile
The same contact across inbox, calendar, and LinkedIn — one profile. No duplicates. One clean network.
Search by expertise
Enriched with titles, seniority, companies, and skills, profiles become searchable by expertise — not just by name.
Every answer is explained
Hoopit weighs the real relationship — channel, recency, shared org, who bridges — and tells you why this person, and how to reach them.

05Compared to other tools
Not another AI search. Not another CRM.
Other tools find the answer or store the record. Hoopit turns your team's real relationships and activity into the trusted path to the person who can act.

A record — if someone logged it
LinkedIn maps one person's public identity and reach. Hoopit reveals your team's pooled, private relationships and the internal context that makes them useful.
06Security & control
Relationships are your most sensitive asset. We treat them that way.
Hoopit reads your team's data to answer a question — nothing more. It stays inside your workspace, encrypted and read-only, and what you choose to share is the path to a person, never the private history behind it.
Your workspace
41,870 people
Another firm
← queryIsolated per workspace
Your network is scoped to your workspace and never mixed with another customer's data.
Encrypted & access-controlled
Source tokens are KMS-encrypted; sessions use JWT, connections use Google/Microsoft OAuth, and internal services are HMAC-signed.
Read-only by design
The agent only reads to answer — a SQL policy blocks any write. It surfaces people; it never sends, books or changes anything without you.
You share the path, not your inbox
Sharing exposes the relationship — who to reach and why — not members' private message histories. Every share is explicit and revocable.

Soft-deletes throughout, and data you disconnect or delete is removed — GDPR-aware by construction.
07For any team that shares
For teams that win through relationships.
Built first for private-capital and deal teams, where “who can move this deal?” is asked every week. If your team shares introductions, expertise or trusted connections, Hoopit makes that knowledge searchable and actionable.
- A private-capital or deal team
- A company
- A team or department
- A syndicate or deal club
- A consortium of experts
- An alumni or advisor circle
One shared workspace
Always scoped to one team — never across workspaces.
08Where we're going
Knowledge, then exchange, then trust, then delegation.
AI is moving from answering to acting. An agent you can trust to act for your team has to know who can act, under what authority and within what limits. Hoopit gets there one layer at a time — each one a prerequisite for the next, starting with the knowledge your team already has.
