Laila

Laila’s mission is to get people together more in real life. Laila uses AI to predict which of your friends would be available to get together and makes a recommendation of the where, what and when based on the group dynamic and learned preferences. Laila is unique among services because it not only coordinates the details of the get together, but it finds the opportunity for a get together in the first place without users having to initiate. Laila is the assistant for your social life. Problems Laila solves: *Everyday there are countless missed opportunities to make real-world connections with your friends. *Current business models rely on keeping users on screen as much as possible. This has turned loneliness into a new epidemic among young people. *The increasing prevalence of social anxiety is making the act of initiating get togethers daunting (the fear of rejection). *It takes effort to identify the people, place, and time for a great get together which is a barrier to entry. A growing proportion of millennials are dissatisfied with the side effects of social networking; users instead desire more authentic, real-life experiences. Offline businesses are missing an on-demand customer acquisition channel. The current social climate, AI technology, and a glaring business need gives us a tremendous opportunity to better serve technology users and SMBs.
