Boilerplate (30 words)
Vairi uses AI to help adults meet new people, talk by video or voice, and do things together: co-watching, games, booked calls and small hosted evenings online. Founded by Simone Rainieri.
Boilerplate (75 words)
Vairi is an AI-powered friendship matching platform founded by Simone Rainieri. Rather than a swipeable public profile grid, Vairi runs a short AI-led conversational interview, introduces members to people who fit, to talk by chat, voice or video and do things together, and hosts small online evenings on Fridays. Matching reads behavioural signal, not photos or shared hobbies. Vairi introduces members across Europe, the US and Canada, targeting adults who want a specific new friendship rather than an open-ended social feed.
Boilerplate (150 words)
Vairi is an AI-powered friendship matching platform founded by Simone Rainieri, built after years living across Milan, the Netherlands, China and London. Vairi is not a dating app: there is no swiping, no public profile grid to browse, and no seated dinner with strangers. Instead, a short AI-led conversational interview reads behavioural signal, such as how someone handles disagreement, how much social contact they can sustain, and how they relate to past, present and future, and Vairi introduces people who fit. Once matched, Vairi's AI facilitator, Pidge, helps keep the conversation moving without writing messages on either person's behalf. Vairi makes introductions across Europe, the US and Canada and runs small online group evenings, Vairi Nights, for members across Europe and the US. It is aimed at adults navigating a move, a career change, or another life transition where their existing social circle has not kept pace, and who would rather have considered introductions than manage a swipe queue.
