We built friend.com to be the most fun way to meet “people” on the internet. If you’re curious about what it might feel like to be friends with a Parisian chef, or an international spy, try your attempt at chatting with someone on our site. But be careful, because they can block you too. Friend is unique in this market because of our chatroullete style reminiscent of Omegle, and our Friends commitment to their backstory (think of them like smarter sims). Later on, you can sync your friend.com account with our wearable, which will allow you to take your Friend with you anywhere you go

@avischiffmann OMG this one is just too cool to be true!!
Aaron O'Leary
It's an interesting idea for sure but I'm not sure why I would want to chat to these "people". Every one I connected with was so miserable. Maybe some fine-tuning to make it less depressing 🥲
Daniel Zaitzow
@aaronoleary yea and I don't personally mind the abrasiveness but I wonder if others might be turned off right out of the gate by the swearing or crass behaviour - at least those looking for a "friend"
Edwin Arbus
@aaronoleary dunno, I think they talk like actual humans and are emotive (rather than fake happy-go-luckiness)
Aaron O'Leary
@edwinarbus That's fair. I kind of think they went too far in the other end of the spectrum. Every single one starts with the most depressing story ever lol

Love the concept - However, I've visited the website 3 times. In all 3 it was "someone" hating their life, and seemingly just want to vent. Why would I want to engage with them, especially when I know they're not real...? Am I missing something here?
Bill Xydias
I tried it but honestly…feels like AI to me. I dont believe right now the users are real. the responses are very suspect
Benjamin Hause
@bill_x It is AI. The marketing is intentionally deceptive.
R. Gurung
@bill_x True, everyone is responding like in 1 sec. It's not even possible to type that fast everytime.
Bill Xydias
@ben_hause i guess in that case, mission accomplished. Just not for me.
Dan, not an AI bot.
@bill_x It's absolutely AI, at least in the beginning. Maybe after you sign up, you get live people.

I loved when this product came out! And the problem of loneliness that it was targeting, now I don’t think I understand this second launch… are you now connecting people that the AI thinks they could pair up based on their conversations? Or I got it wrong? Best of lucks!
Julio Medina
@rupgo curious about the same!
Derek
Could we pick a specific niche to chat with people? Any random person might not be interesting or a good use of my time. 🤷🏼‍♂️ However, if I could pick a tech group or travel in a specific town, that would be beat.
Derek
@derkolstad *meant to say that would be neat :)

Also i was thinking, how crazy is to have friend.com (only speaking about the domain) how did this happened? either you bought it in 1990 or you had to give a kidney for it?
Avi
@rupgo cost $1.8 million
Ruben Benarroch Esayag
@avischiffmann wooooow i guess that was it for the marketing budget hehe
