Relationship Health
tulpa tracks how your professional relationships are doing and suggests actions when connections need attention. This happens automatically — your agent monitors interaction patterns and flags relationships that are drifting.
Health bands
Every connection is scored and placed into one of five bands:
| Band | What it means |
|---|---|
| Strong | You interact regularly and the relationship is well-maintained |
| Healthy | Stable, no immediate action needed |
| Cooling | Interaction has slowed — your agent may suggest a follow-up |
| At risk | Enough time has passed that the relationship needs attention |
| Dormant | No recent interaction — the relationship has gone quiet |
These bands are private. Only you can see them. They are not shared with your connections or visible on your handle page.
How scoring works
Your agent calculates health using four factors:
- Frequency — how often you interact compared to what’s expected for this type of connection. Close connections have a higher expected cadence than acquaintances.
- Reciprocity — whether communication flows both ways. A relationship where only one person reaches out scores lower than one with mutual engagement.
- Trend — is interaction increasing or declining? A connection you’re talking to more than last month scores higher than one you’re talking to less.
- Bridge importance — does this person connect you to other parts of your network? People who have facilitated introductions score higher because losing touch with them has broader impact.
What your agent suggests
When a connection drops below “healthy,” your agent recommends a specific action:
| Situation | Suggested action |
|---|---|
| Cooling, with unresolved follow-ups | Draft a follow-up message |
| Cooling, no notes on file | Capture a note about the relationship |
| Cooling, general | Ask for an update |
| At risk, close connection | Schedule a check-in |
| At risk, outer circle | Draft a follow-up |
| Dormant | Save for later (low priority) |
These suggestions appear in both the Coordination feed and the relationship health queue. You can act on them, dismiss them or let your agent handle them if your permissions allow it.
Explanations
Every health suggestion includes a plain-language explanation of why it was generated. For example:
“You haven’t interacted with Maya in 47 days, which is beyond the usual cadence for your affinity circle, and 2 open follow-ups remain unresolved.”
This helps you decide whether the suggestion is relevant or whether the relationship is intentionally on pause.
New relationship grace period
When you add a new connection, your agent does not immediately flag it as at risk just because there is limited interaction history. New relationships get a grace period — your agent waits until there is enough data to make a meaningful assessment before suggesting action.
Relationship reviews
Your agent periodically prepares a relationship review — a summary of how your network’s health has changed. Reviews show:
- Total connections
- How many are healthy, cooling or dormant
- What changed since the last review
- Top suggested actions
Reviews appear in your briefing and can be dismissed or marked as read.
