Ask HN: Tool to assemble and archive communications from multiple platforms

Hi HN,

Like many of you, I stay connected with friends using many platforms (email, whatsapp, messenger, telegram, signal) and I sometimes have trouble remembering where I discussed a particular topic with someone, or when I sent them news the last time. This is especially true with friends abroad with which I only interact a few times a year and that I sometimes forget to send updates to for a long time.

I've seen tools such as https://github.com/monicahq/monica that allow you to keep track of things but as far as I understand you have to enter things manually (i.e. when you last contacted them, what it was about, etc). I'm looking for a platform that allows you to create contacts, associate accounts from several platforms to them, and then search and backup your interactions with them on these platforms.

Does anyone know of such a tool?
