Teams
Link accounts with colleagues at your firm to search each other's networks — see who your teammates know, and request introductions from the relationship owner.
Teams links accounts with colleagues at your firm so you can search each other's networks; everyone needs an active Pro subscription. Team search returns a limited card — name, company, title, LinkedIn, location, warmth, why it matched, and which colleague owns the relationship — and never email addresses, private notes or interaction history. Approved introductions always send through the relationship owner's own inbox.
Leverage your whole firm's network
Most firms have far more reach than any one person can see. Teams connects the accounts of colleagues at the same firm so you can search each other's networks — "does anyone here know someone at Acme?" — and see which colleague already has the relationship you need.
It's built around one rule: only the person who owns a relationship ever spends its social capital. You can see that a colleague knows the right person, but reaching out still goes through them. Teams is a Pro feature and everything below happens in the web app at thenetworkos.com.
Setting up a team
Create your team
In the web app, open Settings → Team and give your team a name — usually your firm. You become the team owner.
Invite your colleagues
Invite teammates by email. Each person gets an invitation link and needs their own NetworkOS account, on the Pro plan, using the email you invited.
They accept
Your colleague opens the invitation and accepts. From that point your networks become searchable to each other — a limited view only, never the underlying contact records.
Search across the team
Run any AI search, then switch to the Team tab. NetworkOS runs the same search across your teammates' contacts and shows who they know — ranked, with a reason for each match and the colleague who owns the relationship.
What teammates can see
Team search is deliberately limited. For each match your teammates see a compact card: name, company, job title, LinkedIn, location, a relationship-warmth indicator, why the person matched, and which colleague owns the relationship.
They never see the underlying contact — no email addresses, no private notes, and no interaction history. Those never leave your account, aren't part of any team search result, and aren't even used to write the match explanation.
Managing your team
Settings → Team is home base. The owner can rename the team, invite or remove members, and revoke pending invitations. Anyone can leave at any time. To join a different team you leave your current one first.
Requesting an introduction from a teammate
Teams doesn't stop at discovery — you can request a warm introduction directly from a team result. Here's how it works:
- You search the firm network.
- NetworkOS identifies a relevant contact owned by a teammate.
- You request an introduction from that result.
- The relationship owner reviews the request.
- The owner approves, edits, or declines it.
- Any approved introduction sends through the relationship owner's inbox, exactly like any other NetworkOS intro.
The person who owns the relationship always stays in control: nothing reaches their contact unless they approve the exact wording, and it goes out from their own Gmail.

Common questions
- What can my teammates see about my contacts?
- A limited card only: name, company, title, LinkedIn, location, warmth, why the person matched, and that you own the relationship. Email addresses, private notes and interaction history are never shared. Your network stays yours; what teammates get is the ability to tell that a relevant relationship exists.
- How do I request an introduction from a teammate?
- From a team search result. The request lands with the colleague who owns that relationship, and they approve, edit or decline it. Any approved introduction sends through the owner's own inbox, so the person receiving it hears from someone they actually know.
- Does NetworkOS search second-degree connections?
- No. Team search covers your teammates' direct networks only. It does not map second-degree connections or infer relationships that nobody in the team actually has.
- What happens when someone leaves the team?
- Visibility ends immediately in both directions. Leaving or being removed from a team cuts off access to each other's networks straight away, rather than on a delay.
