Automattic has released Mesh, its AI-powered contacts and relationship management app, on Android. The platform was previously available only on iOS.

Mesh brings automated contact organization and relationship tracking to Android users. The app uses AI to help users manage and maintain professional and personal connections. Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com and Tumblr, positioned Mesh as a CRM designed for everyday users rather than enterprise customers. The app streamlines contact management by organizing information, tracking interactions, and surfacing relevant relationship data. The Android release expands Mesh's availability beyond iOS, broadening its potential user base. The app integrates contact syncing and relationship insights to help users stay connected with their networks. Mesh joins a crowded CRM market that includes both consumer-focused and business-oriented solutions. Automattic's focus on simplicity and AI-driven features distinguishes it from traditional contact management tools. The Android version brings feature parity with the iOS release, allowing cross-platform users consistent access to Mesh's core functionality.
