Soki: A Social Experience

Soki turns the venues you walk into: restaurants, bars, cafés, apartments, hotels, campuses, co-working spaces, events: into live communities you can actually join.

The moment you step inside, the venue's digital layer unlocks: see who else is there, jump into the live chat, share authentic Real Moments captured with both cameras at once, vote in polls about what's happening tonight, RSVP to upcoming events, and meet people who share your interests. No setup. No friction. Just walk in and you're in.

DISCOVER VENUES NEAR YOU
Browse the Soki Discover tab to find venues hosting live communities near you. See which spots are buzzing right now, what the weather is like there, and the energy on the ground. Tap any venue to preview its menu, photos, recent reviews, payment info, and the people already there: all before you decide to head over.

JOIN THE LIVE CONVERSATION
Every Soki venue runs a geo-fenced group chat that only people physically there can join. Talk to the table next to you, ask the bartender about tonight's special, find out what's actually happening. Conversations stay tied to the moment: they don't follow you home, they don't get mined for ads.

CAPTURE REAL MOMENTS
Soki's dual-camera Real Moments captures front and back at once: your reaction and what you're seeing: and shares it with everyone at the venue. No filters, no edits, no curated highlight reels. Just real life at this venue, this week.

MEET PEOPLE WHO MATCH YOUR VIBE
Vibe Explorer surfaces the people in the same space who share your interests. Friend Finder helps you make a first connection: anonymous until you both say yes. Real-world meet-cutes that almost never happen on their own.

RATE, REVIEW, RSVP, VOTE
Leave anonymous, geo-verified reviews that the venue actually sees. RSVP to upcoming events with one tap. Vote in live polls about wing nights, open mics, or which DJ is on next. Read what other guests really think: no fake-review pile-ups, no account barrier.

PRIVATE MESSAGES
Met someone interesting at the venue chat? Connect one-on-one through secure DMs that survive beyond the visit.

VENUE OWNERS HEAR YOU IN REAL TIME
Your reviews, polls, and feedback land on the venue's dashboard the moment you post: so they can fix what's broken, double down on what's working, and welcome you back next time.

HOW SOKI WORKS
1. Open the app at any participating venue.
2. The app detects you're in range and unlocks the live community.
3. Chat, share, vote, meet: for as long as you're there.
4. Keep the friends you make.

PRIVACY + RANGE-BASED ACCESS
Soki only unlocks a venue's community when you're physically there. We don't track your movements, we don't sell your data, and your conversations don't follow you beyond the spaces you join. Anonymous reviews stay anonymous: optional first name only.
