The intelligence that brings people together.

Gatheringer is a new app that finds kind people near you — free right now, or later today — and gathers you into a small group for a walk or a coffee. The whole plan is written out for you.

Gatheringer

Say hello to your next
favorite people.

Kind people near you. A small group. A walk or a coffee — with the whole plan written out for you. Gatheringer turns a free moment into a favorite memory. Coming soon to New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.

The idea

Our cities are full of people.

Our phones are full of names.

And yet, on the loveliest afternoon of the year,

so many of us walk alone.

Gatheringer is a small, kind intelligence

that turns "I wish I had company"

into "see you at ten."

How it works

Three small steps to
a lovely afternoon.

No planning, no awkward messages, no wondering what to do. Just people, together.

You're in: Coffee and Conversation meetup plan at South Pointe Park Miami Beach

You're in.The plan: where, when, how to get there.

Step by step

A sample plan,
written by the AI.

This is what a Gatheringer morning could look like. Every plan is written fresh for your own group — where, what, when, and how to get there.

Sample plan: Coffee and Conversation at South Pointe Park, Miami Beach

Your plan, in your pocket.

  1. 9:15 AM

    Your group is ready.

    The AI found three kind people near you who love slow morning walks. Everyone said yes.

  2. 10:00 AM

    Meet at the park entrance.

    Stand by the low stone wall, facing the water. Look for the big blue umbrella — that is where your group gathers.

  3. 10:05 AM

    Walk the shoreline path.

    Twenty minutes, easy pace, ocean on your left. The AI chose this route because it is flat, shady, and beautiful.

  4. 10:30 AM

    Coffee at the pier kiosk.

    A quiet little spot with shade and good cortaditos. Time to sit, sip, and talk.

  5. Getting there

    0.4 miles · about 8 minutes.

    Head east on 1st Street, then right toward the water. Leave at 9:50 and you'll arrive with time to spare.

A sample, to show the shape of it — yours will be written for your city, your pace, your people.

Parks, piers, cafés on busy streets — the AI only chooses places where life is happening.

Verified humans

Every email is verified before anyone can join a group. Real people, real addresses.

You see where, when, and who before you say yes. Changed your mind? One gentle tap and you're out.

Stories

The stories we're
building it for.

Gatheringer hasn't launched yet — so these are dreams, not memories. But they are the reason we're building.

Friends laughing on a spring walk among cherry blossoms

Maya, 29 · new in Miami

"She knew no one. By her third walk, she had a favorite coffee spot — and four people to share it with."

Questions

Wondering something?

Very soon. Leave your email below and we will write to you the moment it is ready — you will be among the very first to gather.

New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles at launch. More cities will follow as more people join the waitlist.

You tell the app when you are free. It looks for two or more kind people near you with shared interests, then writes a simple step-by-step plan: where to meet, what to do, what time, and how to get there.

Yes — that is the heart of the design. Groups always have at least three people, meetups happen in public places, and you see the whole plan before you agree to anything.

Joining the waitlist is free, and the app will be free to try. A walk with new friends should never cost the earth.

Especially for you. There is no small talk to invent — the plan gives you a place, a time, and a reason. Most people arrive a little nervous and leave a little taller.
