AI Forward officially launched 'Nefri' on May 25, 2026, an anonymous group chat SNS that connects users exclusively with neighbors within a 15km radius.
Doing the opposite of 'connecting with anyone anywhere.'
While most SNS platforms promote connecting with the world, Nefri goes in the opposite direction. You can only connect with people within 15km. You simply cannot connect with anyone further away.
The concept is '15km radius, 5 people, anonymous.'
No real name, no photo needed. Just a handle name allows you to connect with 4 people nearby. That's the ideal sense of distance.
'Rain Chat' - Open only on rainy days
A special feature that lets you connect with someone nationwide for a few hours only when it rains. You can enjoy casual chat with a stranger in another city under the same rain.
Nefri is not a dating app
There are no gender filters, 1-on-1 direct messaging, or paid matching features. It is a wholesome app designed purely for making friends and casual conversation.
Safety by Design
Safety is ensured through email authentication, reporting/blocking functions, and AI-driven detection of inappropriate posts.
