{"id":93017,"title":"RealRoots 👯‍♀️ the mobile friendship app for women","tagline":"The first mobile app to guarantee women new friendships","body":"**TL;DR - Women speak to an AI coach via voice, and get matched with compatible real-life women in her city for meaningful social experiences.** \n\nhttps://youtu.be/rggGrOmMdUM\n\nTHE PROBLEM:\n\nMaking friends as an adult is hard. Women lose half of their friends every 7 years, and yet there is no easy way to rebuild those circles. This fundamental problem has led to ⅔ of Americans regularly feeling lonely to no fault of their own.\n\nTHE SOLUTION:\n\nWe know that friendships form when three ingredients align: 1) compatibility, 2) repeat encounters, and 3) authentic conversations. That’s why we designed RealRoots to reliably deliver all three, allowing us to guarantee friendships.\n\n* **Friendship compatibility:** A woman speaks to an AI coach via voice for 5-10 minutes, allowing us to determine the compatibility traits that are most important to her.\n* **Repeat Encounters:** When a woman joins RealRoots, she commits to meeting her friend matches for multiple shared experiences, allowing enough repetition for connection to develop.\n* **Authentic Conversations**: RealRoots experiences are led by a trained facilitator, who guides deep conversations and icebreakers so that a woman gets to know her matches intentionally.\n* A woman can join for 6 weeks, a year, or longer. Throughout she has access to an  AI coach that helps her organize her social calendar and more.\n\n \n\nWHY WE’RE BUILDING THIS:\n\nWe’re building the product we desperately wished existed. After moving 10 times between us, we’ve repeatedly felt the struggle of rebuilding a community from scratch, and the isolation that follows. We created RealRoots because we want to solve this problem, for ourselves and for every woman seeking genuine connection.\n\nOUR ASK:\n\n1. **Take an AI personality quiz  (available to all genders):** Spend 5 minutes chatting via voice with our [AI and unlock personalized insights](https://quiz.therealroots.com/social-vibe) about how you come across to others.
