- A different session each time
Specific without the work
You set the direction. Builder handles the sequence.
Every choice changes what belongs in the session and how the conversation should develop over time.
Match the relationship
Tell Builder whether the conversation is for strangers, acquaintances, friends, family, or partners.
Tune it for the room
A duo, a small group, and a crowd need different pacing. Group size helps Builder choose questions that work aloud.
Choose the emotional arc
Go for icebreakers, a balanced chat, deep talk, party energy, or a date — each mode shapes intensity and flow.
Fit the time you actually have
Compare live duration and question-count estimates before choosing a short, medium, or long session.
A session made in moments
Five choices become one coherent journey.
Builder is structured enough to be predictable and flexible enough to feel personal each time.
- 01
Describe the room
Choose the audience, number of people, desired vibe, available time, and whether sensitive topics may appear.
- 02
Builder composes the flow
It selects matching questions, arranges them along an intentional intensity curve, avoids repetition, and can use your past likes to improve the fit.
- 03
Start with a session that is ready to use
Open the first question immediately. The sequence, pacing, and occasional conversation prompts are already prepared.
Personalization with purpose
A session that adapts without feeling algorithmic.
Builder uses structure behind the scenes so the experience in front of you feels simple, varied, and human.
Preferences that become useful
When enough signals are available, your liked questions help Builder understand the topics and styles you respond to.
Easy to repeat, never exactly repeated
Run the same configuration again for a fresh selection, or change one ingredient to create a different kind of evening.

Before you finish, Builder estimates a time range and question count for each duration. The estimate reflects the audience, group size, chosen vibe, and normal differences in speaking pace.
Yes. Sensitive categories are opt-in. You can leave all of them out or explicitly include only the categories your group is comfortable discussing.
