Alfi, the first chat app with social skills, for bringing friends together. We believe the group chat is the real social network. Where the funniest moments and real conversations happen in real time. With Alfi, we hope to bring you together more expressively, a lot more often. You can now book restaurants together with your friends. Create a social calendar. Make fun wild images together in the same chat. Set reminders for date night. Customize your own Alfi, and get group chat wrapped!

👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Rushi, CEO & co-founder of Alfi. We're launching the first chat app with social skills, built to bring friends together.
💡 The Problem
Gen Z is leaving social media. But they're not going offline. They're retreating to group chats, smaller spaces where they're honestly themselves. People are still using 2010 utilities like WhatsApp and Messenger to manage their 2026 social life.
The problem? Group chats are where plans go to die. Someone has to be "the planner" or nothing happens.
Alfi fixes that.
💙 Meet Alfi
Alfi is your new social friend. The one who remembers everything, plans effortlessly, and keeps the crew together. Alfi also has a proprietary framework that knows when to talk (and when not to). We taught Alfi… social skills! No commands required.
It doesn’t simply process but understands context, group dynamics, and whether you’re actually asking for help or just chatting with friends.
Here's what that looks like:
Book restaurants together, with Yelp built in(exclusive partnership), directly in the chat. No more "where should we go?" spirals. Reserve instantly.
Create images with your friends: drop your crew into funny hats, wild scenes, anything you can dream up. Multiplayer image gen, first of its kind.
Social calendar: upcoming hangs, all in one place. Everyone is on the same page. No more managing separate cals.
Group Wrapped: who's the chattiest? Top inside jokes? Now you'll know. Something we all have wanted for the longest time!
Reminders & Memory: Alfi remembers your spots, your preferences, and nudges you to actually stay connected.
Customize your Alfi: Customize how Alfi responds, creates, and helps to fit in with your group’s style. Custom AI for each chat.
Of course, you have your solo Alfi too! The group chat is simply sacred.
🌍 Why This Matters
We believe the group chat is the real social network. Where the funniest moments and real conversations happen. With Alfi, we hope to bring you together more expressively, and a lot more often.
🔄 The Journey Here
We had first built text.ai, our AI that lives inside SMS, WhatsApp, and Telegram. With near-zero marketing:
10M+ messages processed
100K users across 150+ countries
Growth driven almost entirely by word of mouth
But we learned something unexpected. People didn't just want answers. They wanted a social friend who understands their unique group and actually helps them hang out more.
So we built Alfi from scratch.
💬 What beta users are saying
"It reminds my bf when he forgets our Farmers Market dates. Finally, someone else keeping him in check 😏"
"We put ourselves in cute dresses together. So cute. I wanna buy now"

🙏 We'd love to hear from you:
What group would you add to Alfi first?
What feature would make this indispensable for your crew?
How many plans have died in your group chat?
Alfi is live now on iOS and Android. Available in 10+ languages.

@rushishah cool concept, but saw the pricing , $5 for 25 images or 100 messages feels steep for a group chat app.
in a friend group, who pays? does everyone need credits or just one person?
also curious about long-term sustainability. big platforms are free because of funding and data monetization. how do you keep alfi affordable enough that friend groups actually stick around?
Alfi
@topfuelauto hi mostafa, great question. that pricing is only for our iMessage, WhatsApp, and SMS users who text our number instead of downloading our Alfi app.
the app is free to use! hope you get a chance to use it.
we're still weighing our options to create the best experience for users first and then building for avenues to keep it feasible. the early days of building in consumer social with AI native products are incredibly fun. it's challenging since there isn't a playbook like for enterprise products, but that's the exciting part! we get to learn and build the playbook while creating world class consumer experiences.
Alfi
The new group chat era begins now. Building Alfi was about figuring out how to make human connection effortless. It’s not just a chat app; it's the glue that will helps you hold your social life together. Can’t wait to see how your crews break it!
text.ai
Learn, listen, build. After 10 months in the trenches of consumer AI we heard what our users wanted... unlocked access to AI as a social enabler, but in a premium chat experience. Hence Alfi. Dig in with your friends and family & tell us what you think!
Been using Alfi in our group chats and it’s honestly great. Arguing with it in savage mode is way too entertaining 😂 but it’s also clutch for handling all the logistics so one person isn’t stuck herding the group every single time.
Alfi
@jeel_thakkar love hearing that jeel! savage mode is indeed hilarious and spicy. you should try the custom alfi, that way you can adapt it to your specific group. we have a group where our alfi is pretty much yoda lol
your group chat wrapped will indeed be fun.
glad you're finding it useful. let us know if you have features or improvements we can make!
appreciate you
Alfi looks fun, good work team! What are some of the next targets on your roadmap?
Alfi
@eric_nodeops thanks eric! please give it a try and let me know how you best used it.
we have some super exciting updates in the works with bringing in fresh concepts to better help facilitate group conversations. better understanding users with their preferences and working on ways to help people start chatting more, gentle nudges from alfi when besties have been quiet with each other.
hope you find a few easter eggs in the app!
This is cool - does it remember things about me and friends?
Alfi
@nick_verity2 yes! it does. it adapts uniquely to you versus your friends. alfi will also remember who is vegetarian in the group and who has allergies when recommending restaurants to the friends. super handy and personalized to each group.
the goal is we better understand you and your group so we can better serve you. alfi handles all the boring logistical, items. heck, alfi is your group's chief of staff
hope you enjoy! do share your feedback
Love this framing — “group chats are where plans go to die” is painfully accurate 😅
Turning memory + planning into a social skill, not a command-based bot, feels like the right unlock. Curious to see how Alfi balances being helpful without interrupting the vibe — that’s the hard part you’re clearly leaning into. Congrats on the launch 🚀
