AI-Powered Introductions for Real-World Events
Show up to parties, meetings, conventions, gatherings, and other events already knowing who you may want to meet, why you may connect, and enough context to give the connection a real chance.
ThinkMatch uses AI to make real-world social interaction easier, warmer, and more intentional. Instead of leaving introductions to chance, it helps people find the right person, group, or table before they walk into the room.
ThinkMatch was built with one goal in mind: to use AI to transform real-world social interaction and make loneliness and the awkwardness of meeting new people obsolete.
ThinkMatch powers weekly events at 500,000+ venues nationwide, including restaurants, bars, schools, and places of worship, helping people meet in the real world every day.
You can find a ThinkMatch event near you and join instantly. Or, if you're hosting something, whether it's a dinner party, study group, campus event, meeting, convention, or local gathering, you can create your own ThinkMatch experience and invite your people.
Hosts choose questions tailored to their event. Guests answer them, and ThinkMatch uses AI to suggest compatible people, explain why they may connect, provide conversation starters, and enable chat and video before the event. It's like having a host who knows everyone and introduces you to the right people.
All communication happens inside the platform, and ThinkMatch never shares users' contact information. For added security, hosts can restrict events to verified email domains (for example, @stanford.edu), ensuring only members of a specific school or company can participate.
ThinkMatch is always free to use. Whether you're joining an event or creating your own, there are no fees, subscriptions, or hidden costs.
Understand Yourself From Both Sides
ThinkMatch now gives you two ways to better understand who you are: how you describe yourself, and how other people experience you.
Social Persona: Your Social Persona is built from your own answers and helps you reflect on your interests, preferences, and how you present yourself socially.
SearchWithin Survey: Your SearchWithin Survey is built from outside perspectives shared by family, friends, coworkers, teammates, or other groups. Use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or the AI of your choice to analyze patterns, identify strengths, and better understand how other people experience you.
Together, they give you a fuller picture of how you see yourself and how others see you.
