The loneliness epidemic
Nearly a quarter of adults worldwide describe themselves as significantly lonely, which has the same health impact as smoking a pack of cigarettes every day.
NiceToMeetYou.AI helps people step away from infinite feeds and into real tables with real people. Starting in Kansas City, we pair six compatible strangers for curated evenings that feel effortless and genuinely human.
Modern life is paradoxical: we are more connected than ever and yet loneliness has become a public-health emergency. Busy schedules, algorithmic feeds, and disappearing community spaces mean that meeting new friends now requires intention. NiceToMeetYou.AI is built to close that gap.

For many people, friendships exist entirely online. Endless scrolling replaces eye contact, and the glow of a phone interrupts even the rare moments we gather in person.
With AI content filling more than half the internet, people are hungry for experiences that feel handcrafted and human. Why cant we utilize that to develop a real social life?
After school or college, it is surprisingly hard to find new circles. Cities expand, third places fade, and the skills for small talk get rusty. We turn the first step into a guided invitation instead of a guessing game.
We call our approach “Belonging as a Service.” For roughly the price of lunch, we orchestrate evenings that feel like joining a friend’s group text—only better, because everyone is arriving with the same intention: to connect.
Our AI-powered matching looks for chemistry, not swipes. We pair up to six people in each city whose interests and social energy complement one another.
Post-meetup reflections build a personalized social report once you attend a handful of gatherings. Think of it as encouragement, not judgment, helping members grow more confident each time.
Subscribers can occasionally bring a subscribed friend to ease nerves (or just have fun). We’ll meet you where you are and nudge you toward new circles at your pace.
Answer a short, playful intake so the Acquaintance Engine knows who you click with.
After a subscription you can book from any of the event slots that are available.
Vote/Chat with your matches on the place (or we will decide if no one votes). Expect icebreakers, mini-games, and a table that feels comfortable.
Share quick feedback, earn XP, and unlock insight into your social strengths.
Picture a future in which social health is as routine as physical health. We are building toward that moment with intentional, human-centered technology.
We start in Kansas City, then carefully scale to new metros, honoring local culture while delivering a consistent belonging experience.
We would love to explore more experiences, all powered by the same matching engine.
Future tools will coach, not replace, the conversation; the app’s success is measured by how quickly you put your phone away.
