After graduating for Yale, I felt a strain on my friendships as we moved to different parts of the country. I built Banter so that at our 40th reunion my closest friends and I dont feel like strangers. Instead, we can always stay in touch thanks to Banter Prompts which ping you and your friend with interesting conversation starters every so often! Please let me know your feedback and thoughts!

This is such a wholesome concept. Messaging apps are usually all noise or silence—Banter feels like it’s aiming for real connection. Love the intention behind it. Congrats on the launch! 🚀

@naderikladious Thank you Nader! Please try it out with a friend and give me feedback! It would help a ton!

@marco_nino1 Sure thing 😊

Love how Banter actually gives convo ideas instead of the usual "hey, how r u?" loop. Realy makes chats less awkward, fr. This is so needed!

Marco Niño

@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Yes! Thats exactly the problem I was trying to solve. When I was a kid, my brother would pick me up from school and say "how r u doing?" it was just a thoughtless question, so I would answer back thoughtlessly "good".

If he had asked, "What did you think of the tennis match yesterday?" I would have started talking for hours, lol!!

The 'if you care, you banter' tagline is powerful! How does Banter maintain intimacy without becoming intrusive? Are conversation prompts generated locally on-device, or is there cloud analysis of our private chats?

Marco Niño

@erliza_p You add the topics you want to discuss "tennis" for example, through the settings in the app, and we find you news articles from the web with a powerful question to spark conversation. Conversation prompts are therefore an API that pulls that searches the web. But your conversations are completely private.

The loneliness epidemic is real. This such an excellent concept for an app. Does it work within WhatsApp and other messaging apps or do all my friends have to get banter?

Marco Niño

@aishwaryalohi Friends have to get on banter, reason being, if you are in a groupchat with a random number and your friend, the likely hood of you interacting in there as opposed to messaging them directly is very low. Also, we are adding some cool features like seeing the location, weather, and songs your banter friends are listening to! So you truly feel closer to your friends!

Just gave you an upvote - love the heart behind this 💛

@ha_anh_nguyen Thank you so much! We hope we can play a small part in solving the loneliness epidemic in the US!

Is this a separate messaging app or does it connect with other apps?

Marco Niño

@cagarwal70 It is a separate app, please try it out with a long distance friend and let me know your thoughts!
