## What is Connect, For Real?

Connect is a social app built for real connection, not endless scrolling.

A feed that respects your time. Real conversations worth having. Short videos and full lessons worth watching. Messaging that actually feels private. You pick what you care about, and Connect shapes itself around it.

YOUR FEED
Pick your interests and your home feed fills with posts, short videos, and discussions that match them. Refresh and it reorders instead of hiding what you missed, so it stays fresh without burying what you came for. No two feeds look alike.

FEED OR LEARN
One switch at the top of your home screen. Keep it on Feed to stay in the loop, or flip to Learn for full-length videos from creators worth your time, with a player that rotates to landscape so nothing gets in the way.

DEBATES
Real topics, more than one point of view. Pick a side, see how other people think, and add your own take. Debates are matched to your interests, so you always land somewhere you actually have something to say.

SHORT VIDEOS
A clean fullscreen player you drive with simple gestures. Swipe through, save what you love, and the more you watch, the better it matches what you like.

ASK AI
Tap Ask AI on any video for a quick summary or a short quiz on what you just watched. Open Ask Connect to get answers to whatever is on your mind. And before you send a message, let AI polish it so it reads just right.

PRIVATE MESSAGES
Private chats, one-to-one or in a group, with voice notes, photos, GIFs, documents, and location. Send a quick voice message, share where you are, or just talk.

MOODS
Set a mood and choose exactly who sees it, from everyone to only the people you pick. See what others are sharing and find your people.

BUILT AROUND YOU
Control what shows on your profile, moderate the comments on your own posts, and decide who sees what. Available in English and French, with Sign in with Apple or Google in a single tap.

Connect. For real.
