Anuma remembers what you love, and helps you find the right people, Nearby.

Making new friends is exhausting.

Same profile bios and the same responses when you message someone. Paygated events and run clubs that feel performative. Most apps sell validation, not connection. You rarely meet anyone you really want.

A profile that continuously learns about you

Most apps never change. It’s the same bios, job title, height, and location. You can’t learn about someone from the same settings they put on every app.

Anuma continuously learns about you from the memories you add yourself, memories you import from other places, and your chats with Anuma. Your vibe check with people nearby updates as you use Anuma. Meet new friends with shared interests and more in common than a “hey what’s up?” text.

How Nearby works

Four simple steps.

  1. Step 01

    Opt in to share location

    Nearby is opt-in always. Turn on location sharing to enter public mode and appear on the map near others.

  2. Step 02

    Choose what is shared

    Choose what memories are private and public. Public memories are used in your Nearby profile. Public Anuma chats are used to learn about you and update your vibe check with people on Nearby.

  3. Step 03

    See common interests

    Anuma shows you people nearby who share common interests based on what you shared, so you can go further than awkward icebreaker chats.

  4. Step 04

    Meet in real life

    Message someone in Nearby directly. Find meetups happening around you and who is attending. Host last-minute meetups on the map.

Everyone is more than a profile card.

Get Started Free

Other apps only show you the same thing. You swipe left and right. You pay for visibility, and at the end, it’s always the same. There’s no real connection.

Anuma learns about you from your memories and chats, so you can learn more about someone and message them to meet without the awkward introductions.

Other apps

Same profile on every app.

The same age, location, job, and bio.

Nearby

No more awkward icebreakers.

Anuma shows why you would get along before you even message someone for the first time on the map. No more swiping and guessing.

Multiplayer AI for real life.

Most AI is single-player: just you and a chatbot. Anuma is multiplayer AI. It knows what you’re into, shows you people nearby who share it, and joins your group chat to help everyone make plans.

What is multiplayer AI?

Single-player AI

You and a chatbot. Useful for answers, but it stops at the screen.

Multiplayer AI

You, the people around you, and @Anuma. It helps you meet up in real life.

Find People Nearby

Find new friends around you and meet up with them.

A better way to meet new friends nearby.

Nearby is built to meet new friends and meet up, without having to re-explain yourself.

No swiping

See who is actually around you on the map, and why you would click. No decks to burn through.

No paying for validation

No Roses, no Super Likes, no premium badges to be seen. Being noticed is not a paid tier.

Better with every chat

The more you chat and add to your Memories tab, the better Anuma gets at finding people you would get along with.

Host your own hang

Beers in your PJs or a casual park meetup, no $40 ticket required. You set the vibe.

You control how people view you.

Only the memories and chats you choose to make public are used to learn about you and who you would get along with.

  • Private memories stay private

    Anything you mark private is excluded from matching and public profiles.

  • Only public-mode chats build your profile

    Those are the memories Anuma uses to explain why you and someone overlap.

  • Private mode, anytime

    Turn it on and you do not appear on the map, and your profile is not used in chats.

Questions about Anuma.

What is Anuma?

Anuma is multiplayer AI for real life: an app that uses AI to help you find the right people nearby, make plans and meet up in person. Anuma learns what you are into from the memories you add and your chats with Anuma, shows people nearby you would likely get along with on a map, and joins your group chats to turn conversations into plans. Anuma is available on iOS and Android, and is live in New York City.

How does Anuma find people I would get along with?

In public mode, Anuma learns what you are into from your public memories and your public-mode chats with Anuma. Profiles on the Nearby map show a vibe check score, shared interests and the reasons Anuma thinks you would get along. You can also ask Anuma directly, for example to find someone nearby who wants to grab coffee or who is into running.

How does @Anuma work in group chats?

Mention @Anuma in a group chat and it works for the whole group. It answers questions, finds people nearby, syncs calendars, books a table and plans the meetup, so the chat ends with a plan instead of another message.

Where is Anuma Nearby available?

Nearby is live in New York City, where it launched first, and is coming to more cities. Anuma is available on iOS and Android.

How is Anuma different from other apps for meeting people?

Most apps for meeting people show the same profile cards and charge for visibility. On Anuma there is no swiping and no paying to be seen. You see who is actually around you on the map and why you would click, your matches get better the more you chat with Anuma and add memories, and @Anuma helps your group plan the meetup.

Does Anuma show my exact location?

No. Locations on the Nearby map are approximate and shown within a radius. Anuma never shows another user's exact location, and you only appear on the map when you turn on location sharing.

Do I have to share my location?

No, you don't have to share your location. When you are not sharing your location, you are in private mode. Your profile is not shown on the map, you cannot see other users' profiles on the map, and your profile is not shown in Anuma chats or suggested to anyone.

What can people on Nearby see about me?

When you enable location sharing in Nearby, you are in public mode. In public mode, your public memories from the Memories tab are used as part of your profile and to find people nearby you would get along with. Your Anuma chats are also summarized and shown on your profile under 'Activity'. Anything you mark private is excluded.

Is Anuma a dating app?

No. Anuma is for making friends, finding communities, activities and events, professional connections and real-world plans with people nearby.

Your people are closer than you think.

Get Anuma, turn on Nearby, and see who’s around you right now. Sharing your location is always opt-in, and you can turn it off anytime.
