Summary: Provide user-controlled “hooks” and/or guided prompt input instead of fully auto-generated outreach copy. Problem / User Feedback Users perceive the current auto-generated outreach message suggestions as overly familiar and uncomfortable—especially for long-dormant relationships (e.g., no interaction in 25 years). Proposed Solution Add one (or both) of the following options in the reconnect flow: 1. Selectable hooks list • Show a short list of suggested conversation hooks as checkboxes (e.g., shared context, mutual connections, last known location/company, general “catch up” prompt). • User selects which hooks to include (or none). 2. User prompt textbox • Provide a short input field: “What do you want to say / what’s the intent?” • AI generates a message only based on explicit user intent and selected hooks.
