i've used quite a lot of AI companion apps but recently i also tested AI to find real 1-on-1 convos. it's similar like dating apps but more for genuine friendships and AI helped matching me with the right person who shared similar experiences.

so far, i only know about Kuky platform which is doing this, it's free to start as well. it connected me with one of my pals which i feel so comfortable talking to. the thing i love most is i can actually start a convo with someone who felt a bit more connected, not just random hi and hello.

wonder if there is similar apps/platforms like this?

for context, it's not an AI bot or anything too complicated. AI just helps me in the matching step, think dating apps but more for genuine connections and peer support. instead of chatting randomly with anyone, i got to start convos with people who has similar experiences with me, so the convo could start a bit easier.

ofc it's not a magical thing that i find a real friend after one chat, but it was great talking to people who understand your struggles, even a bit (since not all of my irl friends are having the same problem and hard to vent to them)

so far, i've only known Kuky does this and it is pretty smooth. do you have any other recommendations?

TIA

safe to say that AI is def one of my vital part in my job currently, def when i work in content creation and marketing. but outside of work, i also use it a lot. and here is my top 3 fav usage:

- wellness planning: i use ChatGPT to create my workout and diet plan monthly. since i already knew some basics, i can ask AI to give me suitable workout routine based on my needs. and for meals, i just need to list out the ingredients i have and AI comes up with many simple recipes

- venting and making friends: not like talking to bots, i use Kuky to actually match me with ppl who had similar stories and get to build a more genuine relationship from there (ofc it's not easy but much more intentional than randomly chatting w strangers)

- budget and expenses tracking: i usually ask ChatGPT to help me plan the right amount of money for each category and use Notion to document everything

do you have any AI usage that you really want to share as well, would love to know!

TIA!

didn't think AI could really find me a real companion but i'm glad that i got to try this.

i've used kuky for this, so think of tinder but mostly for real 1-on-1 connections based on your personal experience. AI plays a part in matching me with the right person, makes me feel much more personalized than just jumping in any conversation. then we built the relationship naturally.

ofc i didn't find my pal after the first convo, but after 2-3 times, i really felt comfortable talking to her and we remained friends for over 5 months now.

have you had any similar experience finding companions with AI?

it's not about talking to AI bots but really finding some real connections. i've used Kuky for this, so i just talk about a struggle of myself, and it uses AI to find a good match for 1-on-1 convo for me (think Tinder but more for just real friends)

i didn't think much when i first used it, but i found one of my good pals up there and remained online friends for over 6 months. really didn't notice having someone who shares similar experience with you feels this great.

how about you? has AI brought you any real unexpected connections?
