Introducing Chill
The easiest way to get together
It isn’t easy getting friends together on a whim. Oftentimes people are busy, out of town, or just not interested, and each “No” takes a little wind out of your sails. But when you find a friend that says “Yes, I want to do that too!” everything else falls into place and off you go.
Finding that friend is often more work than it’s worth, leading to too many moments spent alone when the right person is just around the corner. We need a way to tell our friends what we want to do without really asking them; a way for the right person to come to you. With Chill, now they can.
No invites, no pressure
You put yourself out there every time you invite a friend to do something. If they say no or are slow to respond you can’t help but feel some level of rejection, even if they have a perfectly good reason not to join you. With Chill, you never explicitly invite people to meet up. Just indicate what you feel like doing, and nearby friends will reach out to you if they’re interested.
Location is important, but not that important
Proximity alone doesn’t mean you want to meet up with your friend around the corner. Think about the last time you ran into a friend at the grocery store. You probably didn’t put aside the rest of your plans to do something together, either because you had more errands to run, made a promise to someone else, or just wanted some time to yourself.
When it comes to a friend’s location, you only need to know if they’re close enough to meet up. That’s why there’s no map in Chill to track your friends’ every step; you simply see what a friend feels like doing if they’re close by.
It takes two to get the ball rolling
It’s much easier to get a group of friends together once two people have committed to something. “Andy and I are going to lunch, want to join us?” is a yes/no decision, while “Anyone want to go to lunch?” has many possible outcomes. Chill makes it easy for two people to make plans, which in turn makes things simpler for others when you let them know what you’re up to.
I don’t want an “experience”
I want to spend time with my friends in real life, and I’ll only use an app to help me do that if it’s less work than group texting. That’s why with just two taps Chill tells nearby friends that you want to meet up, letting you carry on with your day while your friends consider reaching out to you.
