People: Who Highlight Knows and How

Last updated: September 11, 2026

Highlight creates a list of who you communicate with and surfaces this to you in the People section in the App Settings.

How it's used

When Highlight drafts actions and creates content for you to review, it utilizes the people Highlight knows from your existing interactions within meetings, Slack or email history, etc.. It knows to draft an email to an external vendor because that's where and how you communicate with them, whereas it might draft a Slack message or Notion document to share with a co-worker.
