Hooking a personal agent to Dex MCP beat LinkedIn at its own game
annetgriffin · x · 2026-10-04
The author connected her Town agent to the Dex MCP and asked who she knows in Austin. Because Town has context from her actual email history, the agent surfaced the most relevant contacts with notes on why. LinkedIn could show the same list but took 3x-4x more clicks, offered no relationship insights, and required manual clicks to see message history. She ties this to Evan Lapointe's recent poll on the fragility of product-market fit even for poorly crafted products.
