Plans always die in the group chat. Someone suggests dinner, everyone says "yeah let's do it," and then… nothing. Alfi fixes that. Alfi is your social AI friend that lives in your group chat. It remembers who's vegan, who's broke, who hates scary movies—and helps your crew actually make decisions. What makes Alfi different: Image Gen — Put your friends in funny hats, weird situations, or anywhere else you can imagine. Instant Booking — Get restaurant recs and book through Yelp, right in the chat. Social Calendar — Plan hangs where everyone can see who's in. Custom Personality — Each group gets their own Alfi. Pick a vibe: chill, savage, professional, chaotic—whatever fits your crew. Group Wrapped — See who's the chattiest, your top inside jokes, and more. Reminders — Nudges to actually follow through on plans. Memories — Your best moments, saved over time. We believe the group chat is the real social network, where everything's real, everything's funny, and life actually happens. Alfi makes staying close effortless.
