Nepotism Network
NepoNet · Productivity · Business
Nepotism Network (NepoNet) is an AI networking tool and warm intro finder. It traces the warmest chain of introductions between you and anyone on X. It reads public follow lists, ranks each route from 0 to 100 by closeness, explains every step in plain language, and drafts the first message. It never sends anything on your behalf, so you stay in control of who reaches out.
About Nepotism Network
What Is Nepotism Network
Nepotism Network is a web app built for one job: turning a cold outreach attempt into a warm introduction. You connect your X account, type the name of the person you want to reach, and the tool maps the chain of follows that connects you to them. A route looks like you → a friend → a friend of theirs → your target, where each person already follows the one before them. Every route gets a warmth score between 0 and 100, and the app shows why each link is there instead of hiding the logic.
Why bother? A warm path beats a cold DM. Founders chasing investors, job seekers hunting a hire, and people trying to meet one named contact all get more from a warm introduction than from a cold message. It works as a cold outreach alternative for the X-native crowd. The whole point is simple: a friend of a friend of a friend is easier to reach than a stranger.
Does it always work? Not even close.
The biggest limit is that everything runs on X follow data. If your target doesn't use X, or keeps their follow list private, there's no route to find. NepoNet also never sends DMs, follows, posts, or emails for you. It drafts the first ask and leaves the sending to you. And the AI research parts run on your own account. NepoNet buys no AI inference, so you connect your own key or use your own agent.

Key features
Warm Intro Chain Search
Type any name and NepoNet searches public X follow lists for chains where each person follows the next one, ending at your target. The result is a set of concrete paths rather than a vague "you might know someone" guess. Searching the same person again is always free, so you can revisit a route without burning a search.
Warmth Scoring From 0 to 100
Every route gets a warmth score so you can compare paths at a glance. The number reflects how close the chain is and how well each link connects. That saves you from guessing whether a route is worth your time. Because each step is labeled, you can see exactly where a chain is strong and where it thins out.
Step-by-Step Route Explanations
NepoNet doesn't just hand you a name and a hope. It explains why each person is on the route and what connects them to the next link, so you understand the logic before you act. That transparency turns a black-box match into something you can sanity-check. No guesswork.
First-Ask Drafting
The tool drafts the opening message for the first person in the chain. That gives you a starting point instead of a blank screen. Drafts only use facts from the follow graph, which keeps them grounded. You still read, edit, and send the message yourself, since NepoNet won't send anything on your behalf.
Outreach Board
A built-in board keeps your attempts organized. It tracks who you're reaching out to, which route you're working, and where things stand. A dozen parallel intro attempts won't turn into a mess of scattered notes.
Bring-Your-Own AI
NepoNet buys no AI inference. Research and plans run on the AI account you connect through OpenRouter or your own key, or on an agent you already use. That keeps costs predictable and lets you stay with the model you already trust rather than a fixed one baked into the app. For a small professional networking app, that's a fair trade. A bit more setup, a lot more control.
MCP Server and HTTP API
You can connect Nepotism Network from Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, and other clients over the MCP server at nepotism.network/mcp using OAuth, or over the HTTP API with a bearer key. Agents get the same tools people use in the app, so your X account outreach can live inside the chat or terminal you already work in. Search, drafting, and route review all run through the same tools.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Finds named, concrete intro chains instead of leaving you to guess who might know someone.
- Ranks every route from 0 to 100 and explains each step, so the logic isn't hidden.
- Never sends messages on your behalf, which keeps you in full control of outreach.
- Bring-your-own-AI model means no markup on inference and no lock-in to a single provider.
- Re-searching the same person stays free, so repeated checks cost nothing extra.
- Works in chat apps and coding agents through MCP and the HTTP API.
Cons
- Everything depends on X follow data, so targets who aren't active on X or keep follows private can't be mapped.
- Free tier is limited to a handful of searches a day, and the $6.99 Premium plan raises that to 100 searches a day. Still a cap.
- It drafts the first ask but stops short of automating the conversation, so you handle every reply yourself.
- The AI-heavy research features need your own OpenRouter account or key. That's an extra setup step before they work.
