Meeting someone new?
Arrive knowing the public facts.
Start with the profile link from their email signature or calendar invite. Ossary gathers what their public pages say about their work, keeps people with the same name apart, and lists what you should ask in person.

Cluesjonas-example.dev · Jonas Example
- Linked sourceHis website lists two 2026 conference talks on accessible design systems.
- Possible matchA podcast episode features a “Jonas Example” discussing the same topic, but does not link to his website.
- Still openNo dated source confirms his current company.
Start with what you actually want to know
- “What has this person published or spoken about recently?”
- “Which public pages connect to the profile in their email signature?”
- “What does their company website say about their role?”
Clues first, then connections
- The link you start from, plus pages it links to.
- Articles, talks and project pages that mention the same name and connect to your link.
- Same-name results that probably describe someone else, kept separate with the reason.
- Gaps worth asking about in the meeting.
A detective with boundaries
- Read private or locked accounts, messages or member-only pages.
- Guess where someone lives or works when no public page says so.
- Use data brokers, credit files or background-check databases.
- Treat a shared name as proof that two pages describe one person.
Straight answers
Can I ask more questions after the first answer?
Yes. Each case keeps its sources and supports a follow-up question that researches another lead without losing the earlier findings.
Does it work with just a name?
A starting link works best because it tells Ossary which person you mean. A name alone produces more same-name candidates.
