Hello, everyone! My name is Alex, and I'm an expat in a new country. Two years ago, I moved to Germany where I didn’t know anyone. Starting the job, I realized that becoming close friends with colleagues can be quite challenging and slow. The feeling of loneliness was gradually growing. To change that, I started attending various meetups based on my interests, hoping to make new friends. However, I often found myself answering the same generic questions that didn’t really help me understand if someone shared my values and interests. As a result, lost energy and 0 friends. SO - That’s when I…

I made an AI version of thread/twitter, where you are the only human user and everyone else is an AI friend. It’s called Melonn(melonn.xyz), a human-free AI social space. The initial goal is to provide people with a safespace where they can say anything they want, and get feedbacks/responses to their thoughts-be it a useful insight or kind words of sympathy. If you ever feel lonely, lost, bored or sad just come here and express how you feel without having to care about what others would think. We are actively looking for feedbacks/opinions to improve the service! Thank you.

Virtual AI friends, personalized to you, that chat you (or don't!) on their own work/sleep schedules based on their timezones. They sometimes initiate chats. They sometimes go silent for hours. Just like real friends. I've been "dogfooding" this for the past week, and I think it's actually kind of neat. It's way better than generically chatting with an LLM. This repo includes a detailed setup wizard. You give it some info about yourself, which can include personal blogs/websites to scrape, github, mastodon, text documents, or just paragraphs you write off the top of your head. It…

PLATO5▲3Hi HN, I’m a solo founder who rebuilt my social app from the ground up after realizing something obvious: most “social” platforms are optimized for engagement, not real connection. Loneliness is rising, and I wanted to build something that actually helps people meet offline. PLATO5 is a social engine (not media) with one purpose: moving people from strangers to groupchat to IRL friendships all guided by AI to reduce reluctance and friction. Here’s how it works: 1. *Matching* Each day, users are matched into private groups of 4, based on the Big Five personality traits, interests, and…

Hey HackerNews folks! I first launched DatingAI.pro to help people improve their dating profiles, get reply suggestions, etc but to that I got feedback where people pointed out that someone could just impersonate their entire profile which made sense and I thought what if I could actually help people really get better at texting or conversations by giving them feedback and letting them improve via suggestions. I understand a human date can't be replaced but certainly we could help to an extent. NOTE - THIS IS NOT AN AI GIRLFRIEND. This is how it works: 1. Swipe from profiles of the opposite…
