bonds is the messaging app for the next generation. Every friends' chat gets an AI friend with superpowers. Not an assistant: it gets your inside jokes, keeps the fun going, helps you pull things off together. A little unhinged 💀
"A week without TikTok?" It creates a challenge app with streaks, inside the chat. No downloads. Games, videos, stickers, too.
It remembers what matters to each of you, notices when someone's struggling, gets grumpy if you ghost it. You care for it, it cares for you.
Multiplayer AI that dies if you and your friends flake
Every AI is built for one person. Remember Tamagotchi? 💀 bondi is like one that lives in your friends chat and belongs to the group. Say “30 days of gym” and it sets up the challenge. Everyone checks in with a photo, and doing real things together gives it lives ❤️❤️❤️. Go quiet and it starts losing them. At zero it dies. It also makes games, stickers, countdowns and videos right in the chat. Free on iPhone, web and Mac.
we think the feed made us lonely, and AI made for one person will finish the job. 800 followers and nobody to call at 2am. so we made the opposite: AI that’s multiplayer, and actually fun.
bondi lives in the chat with your friends. every group gets its own, with its own name and color. and it’s alive: it has a heart.
new since our last launch: • challenges: tell bondi “30 days of gym” and it sets it up in the chat, with a streak and a Live Activity on your lock screen • today: one photo a day from each of you, and bondi decides if it counts • lives: photos from everyone, calls and actually meeting up give it lives. go quiet and it loses them, faster every day. at 0 it dies • media: every photo and video in one place, with comments • pinned chats and a Mac app
Bonds sounds like a fun way to make group chats more engaging with AI friends and interactive features I like the idea of having games stickers and shared memories in one place
What needs improvement
better privacy controls (1)
It would be great to have more AI personality options and better privacy controls so users can customize their experience
vs Alternatives
I like that Bonds focuses on making chats more fun and personal instead of being just another messaging app
I love the vision. Having a chat that becomes its own universe for each relationship, with AI helping organize everything, could be a game changer for social interactions.
What needs improvement
The number of spaces within a chat could grow exponentially and eventually defeat the purpose of keeping things organized.
vs Alternatives
Being honest, haven't try any other alternatives yet
