Paira is a request-first help network. Instead of broadcasting a profile and hoping the right person notices, you post what you actually need — and Paira connects you with someone who can help. How it works • Ask — Describe your need in plain language: a mock interview, resume or portfolio review, career, academic, or industry advice, company or school insight, intro, referral, or coffee chat. Paira's AI helps turn it into a clear request. • Match — Paira finds the right people for your specific request, based on real experience — not follower counts, polished profiles, or generic headlines. • Connect — Chat with your match and get one thing done. Paira's assistant can warm up the intro and help along the way, but you're always talking to a real person. • Build trust — Reputation on Paira is earned by completing real interactions and getting endorsed, not by self-promotion. Need help? Use Paira to: • Practice mock interviews and get honest feedback • Get your resume or portfolio reviewed • Find career, academic, or industry guidance • Learn what a company, school, or role is really like • Find an intro or referral • Have a focused coffee chat with someone who's been there Want to help others? • See well-scoped requests you can actually act on — no endless networking • Help with what you're great at, one request at a time, on your schedule • Turn your experience into impact • Build a reputation through completed interactions, not self-promotion Paira is not another profile feed or a swipe-for-its-own-sake social app. The AI never replaces the human — it routes each request to one. Post a request, or help someone with theirs. Paira is growing every week with new people, requests, and capabilities.

Firepit is the dating app designed to be…fun. We blended the group dynamics of modern social networks with the traditional online dating format to create a product containing the best of both worlds. Once you download Firepit, you’ll form groups of 2 to 5 with your friends, and we’ll show you compatible groups of equivalent size. By allowing users to date alongside their friends, we’re turning the natural behavior of wingmanning into a digital tool for a safer and more exciting experience. From pregames and beach days to barbecues and sports, Firepit is designed to act as a companion to the way young adults actually socialize, allowing them to orchestrate their perfect weekends right from their phones. UNDER THE HOOD: Sign up and create your profile. Fill out biographical information to share the facts that make you, you. Upload up to six photos and respond to three prompts from a library designed to showcase your real personality through real creativity. Create “tents” (groups) with your friends that automatically compile your profiles into one joint profile - sizes 2-5. Select one of your tents to enter the app with and begin discovering other compatible groups of the same size. Seamlessly switch between your tents to date with all the combinations of your friends that you’ve created. Meet the groups you match with in a “firepit” (group chat) and set up everything from double dates to quintuple dates. Long press on profile elements to react, gossip, compliment, and share your opinions of other user’s creations. Send winks to members of tents you’ve matched with to signal individual, one-on-one interest. Proud of the profile you’ve crafted? Showcase how many winks you’ve received or hide them in settings. Chat privately with the friends in your tent to speak freely and truly share the online dating experience. Press the “ask” button on a group profile that you’re unsure about to automatically send a preview in your tent chat and get your friend’s opinions. FIREPIT PLUS: Double your tent slots from 4 -> 8 Unlock every premium prompt See every wink FIREPIT PREMIUM: Subscription benefits are given to all members of tents owned by the subscriber! We mean it when we say we care about our friends. ;) All Firepit Plus perks included Algorithm boost for all your tents Infinite likes See all incoming likes FRUITS OF FRIENDSHIP The Firepit ethos is fun, but we also understand that real, powerful connections often arise in the places we least expect them. While our main goal is to make online dating no longer excruciating, we’re also firm believers that our friends bring out the best in us. Saying goodbye to sweaty hands and awkward, expensive dinners—and saying hello to just being comfortable—is something we’re pretty gung-ho about. Being comfortable means being yourself. If love is what you’re looking for, the team at Firepit is confident that finally unlocking the real you is a pretty good place to start.
