Friend? AI

The in-app AI companion that runs Plan-the-Hang and answers questions about your matches, friends, and personality profile.

Friend? AI is the AI assistant embedded in the Are We Friends? product. It's NOT a chatbot pretending to be a friend — it's a planning and reasoning tool with deep context on your account.

What Friend? AI knows about you (and only you): - Your Big Five facet profile + interest tags - Your current matches and which ones you've acted on - Your friends and pending hangs - Your tier and quota usage - The live local events feed for your city

What Friend? AI can do: - Draft Plan-the-Hang proposals for any match (facet-tuned) - Suggest who to reach out to today and explain why - Translate a Big Five score into plain English - Draft DM openers, hangout follow-ups, "thanks for last night" messages - Answer "why am I seeing this match?" with concrete reasoning

What Friend? AI does NOT do: - Read your DMs (they're end-to-end encrypted; we literally can't) - Talk to other members on your behalf - Generate fake personality scores or fake bios

Under the hood: Cerebras qwen-3-235b-a22b-instruct-2507 is the primary model, with Groq llama-3.3-70b as the fallback and Anthropic Claude as the final safety net. Daily quota varies by tier (Free 10/day, Friend+ 50/day, Social 500/day, Founders' unlimited).
