Groups & events

Dhaga keeps people together in two different ways, and it is worth knowing which one you want.

An event is one occasion — a conference, a dinner, a launch party. The people you met there stay attached to it, so months later you can still answer "who did I meet at that dinner?" The rule is simple: one event per event.

A group is a set of people who keep meeting — a weekly sync, a founding team, a board. It is not tied to a date or a place, it can hold shared notes (one note about a meeting with several people, which lands on everyone's page who was actually in the room), and Dhaga can suggest one from your calendar. Groups live at /app/groups.

Create an event

Go to /app/events. The inline create form takes a name, an emoji, and a colour so each one is recognisable at a glance. Below it, the events table lists every event with its emoji, tags, people count, and start date.

Add people to it

Open an event to see its roster. Use the Add people search box to attach several people in a row without leaving the page — type a name, pick, repeat.

You can also add a person to an event from their own profile — the button sits in the sticky sidebar next to Edit and View in graph, a handy shortcut when you're looking at someone and remember where you met them. It is still labelled Add to group, which predates the groups below; it adds them to an event. Events show as their own row on the profile, kept separate from that person's tags — which have their own Add tag control, letting you search tags you've used before or create a new one on the spot — and separate again from the groups they belong to, which have a row of their own.

Manage and share

From an event you can:

• Email a digest of the attendees to yourself.
• Rename, restyle (emoji/colour), or retag the event.
• Merge two events that turned out to be the same gathering.

Groups, and the ones Dhaga suggests

/app/groups lists the groups you have made, and — if you have connected a calendar — a Suggested section underneath. The suggestions come from your own meetings: when the same handful of people turn up on an invitation more than once, that is a group worth naming. It is arithmetic over your calendar, not a guess by a model, and nothing is saved until you press Create. Every suggestion arrives with an editable name, the occasional attendee offered un-ticked, and a Dismiss button — a dismissed set does not come back.

Open a group to add or remove members, write a shared note and tick who was there, and see the group's own facts, tasks and recent meetings. Removing somebody stamps the date they left and changes nothing about past notes — they were there. Adding somebody works the same way in reverse: a note from before they joined stays off their page, because they were not in that room.

Saving a shared note reads it in the background, and the group's page shows that happening: a line under the composer says what stage it is at, then what it found — "2 facts and 1 follow-up added" — and if it fails or gives up, it says so and offers a Retry. It never reports facts it did not get. Each note also has a re-run button, for after you edit one or when the first pass missed something; re-running replaces what that note produced rather than adding a second copy of it, and it costs AI credits like any other extraction.

Groups are archived, not deleted. A group that stopped meeting is still history you may want to read, and its shared notes are about several people at once.

Two limits worth knowing. Attendees are matched on an exact email address, so a five-person meeting where two guests are not in your contacts appears as three — add them and it will read correctly next time. And suggestions and a group's meeting history look at a rolling window of your calendar (about a month back), not your whole history, so Dhaga will not tell you how long it has been since a group last met.

Name clusters

Separately from all of the above, /app/name-clusters looks for a word several of your saved contacts share — a surname, a company, a city — and offers it as a tag, a company, or a location. It groups strings rather than people, and like everything else here it writes nothing until you confirm.
