AI social app for women
This is where real friendships begin. Women use our mobile app to talk to Lisa, our AI matchmaker, and get set up for fun social experiences with compatible new friends, all planned and coordinated by AI.
RealRoots is an AI-assisted social app that helps women in a city be matched into guided, 6-week groups for shared experiences to form real friendships. It emphasizes a guaranteed connection, with a structured series led by a guide and optional continuing alumni events.
Users fill out a short survey to be matched into a gal group based on interests, age, neighborhood, life stage, and proximity. Each 6-week series comprises 7 experiences led by a trained RealRoots guide, including icebreakers, curated activities, and conversations. Logistics are handled by RealRoots; users simply show up. After the series, users can join a larger alumni community with ongoing weekly events, 1-on-1 matches, and a private group chat. If a user leaves without a real connection, RealRoots offers a rematch into a new series at no extra cost. Pricing for the first experience is $25, followed by $289 for the 7-experience full series, with meals optional.
Who it’s for: Women 21+ seeking meaningful new friendships in their city
