hangpal

the effortless way to see your friends.

hi! i'm hangpal.

i track who you haven't seen in a while, search for what's going on, help pick a plan you'll love, and even draft the invite text.

you just hit send. 🐒

you're probably wondering

why can't i just ask any AI?

ask both of them the same thing. one of them already knows your vibe.

a general AI

who could i see this weekend, and what could we do?

happy to help! to suggest someone, could you tell me a bit about your friends? who are you closest to, when did you last see them, and what do you like doing together?

also, what does your weekend look like?

checked 6 things
  • last saw Claudette Wilson 8 weeks ago

  • last saw Rami Ze 5 weeks ago

which person and plan feels right?

  • sat · 3pmplay pinball at The Ice Box Arcadewith Claudette WilsonThe Ice Box Arcade · Fremont46 pinball machines, cider and snacks
  • sat · 10amhike the Gold Creek Pond loopwith Sage TurnerGold Creek Pond · Snoqualmie Passflat one-mile loop, fall color reflections
  • sun · 3pmgo bouldering at Half Moonwith Rami ZeHalf Moon Bouldering · Greenwoodcreative routes in a friendly, uncrowded gym

Claudette is my pick: her birthday's monday, and pinball at The Ice Box Arcade gives you a proper game-filled catch-up before then. Gold Creek Pond with Sage is the fresh-air option, an easy flat loop with fall reflections; Half Moon with Rami gets you both on the bouldering wall again. the weekend forecast looks mild, though saturday’s evening will be cool. which one sounds like your kind of weekend?

  • it knows the people you care about. who you saw, when, and what they're into, automatically, from your calendar.
  • it notices first. it tells you who you haven't seen in a while, usually before you've realized.
  • it ends with a plan. that means: a real place, a real time, and even the text to send.

use whatever AI you like for everything else.

for seeing your friends, you're looking for the hangpal chimp.

everything you said you’d get around to.

all of the things that matter. checked proactively for you. in seconds.

what it actually does.

it utilizes your calendar history

most of what hangpal knows about you it has analyzed on its own. connect your calendar and it digs through years of history, finds the times you actually saw people, and builds your friend roster out of what already happened: who you see, how often, what the two of you tend to do.

it does this daily, so your social record stays current without you maintaining anything.

it maps everyone by how long it's been

it's hard to keep track of the last time you saw each of your friends. the people you care about are sorted by the last time you saw them rather than alphabetically.

it writes the invite

the actual text, in your voice, with the place and the night already in it. it lands in an editable box. you change whatever you want and send it yourself.

it helps you turn half-baked ideas into real plans

go ahead & save the half-formed ones: a restaurant, a show, that hike someone mentioned. hangpal holds them and offers them up when the night and the person actually line up.

it sends a weekly email with personalized hangout ideas

simple & optional, once a week: see who's drifting, what's on locally, who has a birthday coming up, and more. one email, and never a feed to infinitely scroll.

your friends are waiting.

or sign in if you're already in.
yours, hangpal 🐵
