Invite-only! 3D map! AI chat! Tweebs! What more do you need? TWIBS is an invite-only social map that makes it effortless to plan with friends, organize events, and meet new people—without the noise of a public feed. Drop a “Twib” on the map, tell us what you’re doing in plain English, and let the AI chat interface handle the details so you can get together faster. • Map-first planning — Pin a Twib to set the when & where: it can be anything from a spontaneous hike to a planned birthday party. • AI that understands plans — Type “Climb at Stronghold at 6?” and TWIBS extracts time, place, and intent, then posts it to the map. • Share smart ETAs — Subscribe to the places you visit often and let friends know you’re on the way with one tap. • Private by design — Control who sees your Twibs and location. You can make Twibs visible to anyone, friends of friends, or invite specific people.
