The digyoo app will tell you who wants to instantly meet you when you are in a busy Nightlife District, on a College Campus, at the Beach, at the Gym or at a Festival/Concert. It's the "End of Approach Anxiety and Rejection" of someone you find attractive and want to meet! Create a profile and then swipe on profiles of people on the app that you like and who are there where you are. Profiles will ONLY show people who are within 4,000 feet of you. The feet-distance away will show on the profile of all people on the app. For additional matches you can extend the radius to 6,000 feet - but that's it! No one out of this radius will be shown. Once there is a match you can send a message and instantly meet if you so choose. Don't click with the first person you meet? Then message, match and instantly meet the other 5, 6, 7 matches you got! How is this different than any other dating site? With internet dating, you finally set up a date only to find out the person is extremely different in person – older/heavier/photo filters have misled – it’s dating false advertising. You have also wasted weeks corresponding with messages/texts/phone calls that resulted in a non-match. That’s why in a lot of cases you still see people on these sites month after month, year after year. It just takes too much time between match and meet up. This won’t happen with the digyoo app. Presently, let's say you see someone that you are attracted to in a Nightlife District venue, on your College Campus, at the Beach, at the Gym or at a Festival/Concert. You want to approach, but fear sets in, and your heart starts racing! You garner the courage to approach and then BOOM! - you find out they have a boyfriend/girlfriend, they are engaged or married, they are gay and you are straight, you are gay and they are straight or WORST OF ALL - they just have no interest in you! The digyoo app solves two problems - 1. It eliminates the time between an internet match and meeting that person because the person is right there where you are. That also means that no "catfishing" is possible. The advent of AI is making internet dating even worse as it is making the average person "super-model-like" on these sites. That's another reason why the timing is perfect for our concept. 2. It eliminates approach anxiety as you have answers before "the Approach” NIGHTLIFE DISTRICT USER EXAMPLE: Let’s take the example of Connor who is a 21-year-old college student at Drew University in NJ. Connor heads to the Morristown Nightlife District - where there are 24 packed bars/pubs in a seven block radius -on a Friday night. The digyoo app has launched in this District. He starts at the Iron Bar. He opens up the app, which shows everyone in that bar with the app and everyone that is at the other adjoining 23 bars – all within 4,000 feet of his location. So Connor grabs a beer and starts swiping the profiles of girls in the District. When he likes someone he swipes right and when girls in the District like his profile they swipe right on his profile. Bang! - just minutes later Connor gets a ringtone text saying he has his first match of the night and she is actually at his location. Connor sends a message “where are you?” His match Emma replies, “Come over and say hi, I’m at the end of the bar by the DJ booth.” Boom! – potential connection ensues. Don’t like Emma?? Excuse yourself and turn on the app for others at the bar and in the Nightlife District like a cute girl down the street at the Famished Frog who just mutually matched with you as you were chatting up Emma. Two, three, four, five, six, seven dates in one night? Maybe, and all mutual. FREE for the first 21 matches and then after that it's $.99cents for each match that you want to message.

Cael plans your dates for you. Tell it what you're thinking, like "birthday dinner for Becca this weekend, something cozy", and Cael sends back the whole night: where to go, when, what it costs and what to order. Say go and it books the table. It never books anything without your OK. PLANS BUILT AROUND THEM Cael keeps a partner file: favorite foods, allergies, the places you've been, the things they want to try. Fill it in by just talking to Cael, or with a few taps. Every plan is built around it, and it gets better with every date. BOOK AS YOU Sign in to OpenTable or Resy once, right in the app, and Cael books in your own account: your saved card covers holds, and there are no codes to pass along. NEVER MISS A DATE THAT MATTERS Birthdays and anniversaries count down on your Tonight screen, and Cael gives you a heads-up early enough to plan something good. EVERY STOP CHECKED Before a plan reaches you, Cael checks each place is real and open at that hour, then fills in its phone number, hours and rating. You also get the forecast, how long it takes to get between stops, what to order, ways to make it special, and a rain plan. ASK ABOUT THE NIGHT Every plan has its own chat. Ask "is it walkable?", "what should I wear?" or "can we swap dinner for something cheaper?" and Cael answers for that date. Tap "Have Cael book it" and it reserves the tables once you confirm. WATCH IT BOOK While Cael books, every stop shows what it's doing, live. If your time is gone, it shows the open times and books the one you tap. If a restaurant texts you a code, type it straight into Cael. THE NIGHT, SORTED On the day, the whole plan is in one place: every stop, the times, directions, and a backup if a place falls through. Add it to your calendar, or keep it on your Lock Screen. REMEMBER THE GOOD ONES Rate each date and save a highlight. Your dates become a story you can scroll back through. PLAN IT TOGETHER WITH DUO Link up with your partner and plan together, or keep it a surprise. Neither of you sees the other's messages; only the plan you make together is shared. TEXT IT, OR TAP IT Cael works over iMessage and Telegram too. It's the same Cael, with the same memory, wherever you talk to it. Create your Cael account in the app, or sign in with the one you use on caelagent.com, or with Apple or Google.
