Launching in San Francisco

Five people a week, not five hundred swipes.

An AI that really gets to know you, introduces you to people worth meeting, and helps you keep those friendships going.

How it works

From stranger to friend, one week at a time.

  1. Get to know the AI

    Talk with it like you'd text a friend. It learns what you're into, including things you'd never put on a profile.

  2. Meet new people every Monday

    Up to five introductions a week, mostly near you. The AI sends the first message, so no one has to go first.

  3. Keep going, week by week

    Chat at your own pace. If you both want more, extend for another week. When you're ready to meet, the AI brings a plan.

  4. Make it a friendship

    Once you've met, add each other as friends. Then the AI helps it last: birthdays, check-ins and shared albums.

AuthenticitI isn't

  • ✕
    A dating app

    Introductions are for friendship only.

  • ✕
    A swiping app

    No judging people from a photo in a second.

  • ✕
    An endless feed

    Once you've caught up with friends, you're done.

  • ✕
    Pay to be seen

    No one can pay to be shown to more people.

Safety

Safety comes first. Always.

  • Everyone is ID-verified

    A government ID and a live selfie, before anyone meets anyone.

  • The AI spots warning signs

    Red flags are paused and reviewed by a person.

  • Flag anything, anytime

    Any message can be flagged, and serious reports lead to a permanent ban.

  • Your details stay private

    No last names or exact locations. Chats stay in the app.

  • Public places first

    First meetups are always suggested in public places.

  • No ghosting

    Every introduction either grows or ends kindly, for both people.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Is AuthenticitI a dating app?

No. AuthenticitI is for friendships. Every introduction is friends-only.

Is it really free?

Yes. Making friends on AuthenticitI is free forever, with the same AI for everyone. An optional Premium plan will add extras like help booking plans, but it never gets you more or better introductions.

Who sees what I tell the AI?

Nothing you share is shown to anyone unless you choose. It's never used for ads, and we never sell your data. The one exception is safety: if something suggests someone may be at risk, our team can review it.

Do I have to meet people in person?

Not right away. Get to know each other in the app at your own pace, and meet when you both want to. For friends in other cities, a video call counts.

What if someone stops responding?

No one gets left hanging. Each week, an introduction either continues because you both chose to, or it ends kindly for both of you.

How do you keep people safe?

Everyone is ID-verified with a government ID and a live selfie, the AI watches for warning signs, and anyone can flag a message at any time. See our safety approach.

When do you launch, and what if I'm not in San Francisco?

We're launching in San Francisco, one neighborhood at a time. If you're somewhere else, join the waitlist anyway and we'll let you know when we reach your city.
