Conversation Openers

Conversation Openers analyzes your background, shared history, and professional overlaps with another person. Instead of generic small talk, you can build rapport faster and connect more naturally. Here’s what is typically included in conversation openers:

Reconnect with people more naturally

Past companies you’ve both worked at

Projects you collaborated on

Mutual achievements or milestones

Shared domains, industries, or transitions

Trends you’ve both navigated over time

Where can I see Conversation Openers?

On all people profiles

In your Calendar Meetings

In the Distill Gmail Plugin (see article)

How It Works

You don’t have to write anything or fill out forms. Simply view someone’s Distill profile, and Conversation Openers automatically generate tailored prompts in the background.
