manifesto
social tech has failed us.
we're supposedly more connected than ever, yet young people have never felt lonelier.
because loneliness is the absence of meaningful connection.
3 in 4 gen z are feeling lonely, with heavy social media users experiencing the highest rates of isolation and anxiety.
we need to shift our focus from superficial interactions to intimate conversations and authentic representation.
to strive for meaningful connection.
at vibe.social, we're on a mission to deepen human connection through socially-intelligent AI. and we have three core beliefs about how we'll get there:
one.
reflection unlocks connection.
we spoke to 5000+ of you. it's clear that the deeper connection we seek requires us to reflect on our relationships, values, emotions, personality and aspirations. research shows that reflection is the first step to deeper connection.
two.
AI can be our trusted sidekick for connection.
recent research found that conversational AI systems are effective at stimulating deeper human-to-human interactions, simply by nudging people to reflect on themselves and their social life.
three.
AI should be socially-embedded.
ChatGPT can’t be embedded into your social life. to support you, AI needs to be integrated into the places you’re already socializing — WhatsApp and Instagram.
that's why we're launching VIBE — the AI that cares about your relationship health, integrated into WhatsApp and Instagram.
join us on our journey to deepen human connection.
with infinite possibility,
the VIBE team
