Built For City Transplants

New city, no circle yet?

OMI is made for people who moved somewhere new — for work, for school, for a fresh start — and found that adult friendships don't just appear. If you've ever scrolled a feed full of other people's plans in a city where you know three people, you're exactly who we built this for.

Our founder, Summer, moved to the US alone nine years ago. As an introvert, she learned the hard way how heavy social life can feel for a newcomer. Over the past year she curated monthly community events and watched real friendships form at those tables. OMI exists to scale that impact — so every city transplant can find their people without the awkward planning.

The OMI Journey

Three steps from a late-night thought to a real table with real people.

1

Vent Your Vibe

Type out your raw thoughts, daily stress, or current mood to an AI persona that actually listens and validates you.

2

Instant Invite

Once your mood is recharged, the AI acts as an autonomous planner and coordinates a low-stakes meetup — a casual coffee, a neighborhood walk, a local happy hour.

3

Show Up Local

Get an instant RSVP to a small microgathering (3–5 people) at a curated local spot in your neighborhood. Just show up and unlock real connections.

Philosophy

The Noise is Getting Louder

"Life happens in the gaps"

Coffee after work. A sunset walk. Late-night ramen. A pickup volleyball game. The best memories aren't planned months ahead — they're decided in a group chat. OMI helps those moments actually happen.

— The OMI Team

Our Goal

Less screen time. Better real life.

  • Zero Awkward Planning
  • Low Stakes, High Comfort
  • Neighborhood First

Curated, Not Crowded

Why OMI gatherings feel different

Most event apps hand you a giant RSVP list. We do the opposite: fewer events, selected organizers, and a hard cap on the table.

Every event is curated

No open-invite chaos. Each gathering is reviewed for vibe, location, and group size before it goes live in your neighborhood feed.

Organizers are selected

Hosts are hand-picked neighbors and creators who care about the room — not follower counts. We keep the ones people come back for.

Capped at 3–5 people

Microgatherings by design. Small enough that everyone talks, low-stakes enough that showing up alone feels normal.

Happening within 24 hours

Open the app and see what your neighbors are hosting tonight or tomorrow. Spontaneous beats another calendar invite.

Questions

Everything about OMI

What is OMI?
OMI is an app that turns a chat into a real-life hangout. You talk to an AI persona about your mood, and it plans a low-stakes meetup nearby and publishes it to your neighborhood — usually happening within 24 hours.
Who is OMI for?
City transplants above all — people who moved to a new city for work, school, or a fresh start and don't have a circle yet. OMI is built so showing up alone feels normal.
How do I see what my neighbors are hosting?
Open the app and your neighborhood feed shows the small gatherings happening near you within the next 24 hours. Tap one to RSVP — no group chat, no scheduling thread.
How big is an OMI meetup?
Every OMI microgathering is 3–5 people at a curated local spot, so it stays relaxed and easy to join.
Are OMI events curated?
Yes. Every gathering is reviewed before it goes live and organizers are hand-selected neighbors and creators, so the quality of small gatherings stays high.
How long does planning a hangout take?
Seconds. You describe your vibe in chat and OMI coordinates the time, place, and RSVPs for you — no group-chat scheduling.
What is OMI Flash?
OMI Flash is where locals nominate the TikTok and Instagram creators they'd love to meet. When enough people name the same creator, we invite them to host a 5-person flash meetup at a hidden-gem spot nearby.
