Group chat app that remembers plans and helps you meet IRL
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!
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"
