What we look for

The Pod Eight Experience
Step 1 · Talk to Pod
Pod is the AI guide at the heart of Pod Eight. There’s no long profile to fill out. Just talk, by voice or text, about your week and what you’re looking for, and Pod uses that to find people worth introducing you to.
Step 2 · Get introduced
Every introduction comes with the reasons you might connect: what you share, where you differ, and what to ask about. Take your time, and ask Pod anything before you decide.
Step 3 · See more than a profile
Every member has a room, a space they’ve decorated with the things that matter to them. Each object carries a story, so you can explore their interests, curiosities and the moments behind them before you ever say hello.
Step 4 · Close kindly
If you’re no longer interested, tell Pod and it will let the other person know. A kind, clear answer is how things are done here, and Pod is there if anything ever feels off.
Our mantra
We want to understand you before introducing you to someone. And we don't disappear after the introduction. We follow up, learn from your experiences, and believe in treating everyone with respect.
