Ayo is your AI scout for better connections

I've just moved to the central London area and would love to find someone to play tennis with. Anyone up for a game?

I can help you find a tennis partner around Central London. A few quick questions to help find the right match: - What skill level are you at, and are you looking for someone at a similar level or open to anyone? - Are you looking for casual rallies, competitive match play, or open to either? - When would you ideally like to play (for example, weekday evenings or weekends)?

I am a novice player with about 3 years experience either casual or competitive matches sounds great. I'm available most weekends

Here is a summary of what you are looking for: - About you: Novice tennis player with about 3 years of experience, based in Central London, available to play on weekends. - Who you'd like to meet: A tennis partner in Central London available for weekend games. - Style: Open to casual rallies, competitive matches, or both. - Partner level: Open to any level, or let me know if you'd specifically prefer someone around your level. Does this look right, or is there anything you would like to adjust before I start searching?

That looks right to me!

Your search for a tennis partner is underway. I'll keep looking, including as new people join, and message you here as soon as I find someone suitable. In the meantime, you can start another search or ask me for an update whenever you like.

I think I have found someone you’d get on with. James Baldwin, 32, Male. They are also based in London and are keen to meet other beginner level tennis players. Want me to introduce you? If you both say yes, I’ll share your contact details so you can start chatting.

They look great to me, let's connect!

Ayo lives in WhatsApp

Chat to Ayo in the app you already use every day. Nothing new to download or learn.

Ayo gets to know you

Ayo remembers what you've shared, so the next time you're looking for someone, you don't have to start from scratch.

Ayo does the looking for you

Tell Ayo who you are looking for, then get on with your day. It'll keep searching and let you know when it finds someone.

One thoughtful intro at a time

No endless profiles to scroll through. Ayo finds someone who fits what you're looking for and introduces you to one person at a time.

Know why you might click

Every intro comes with a little about the person and why Ayo thinks you'd get on. If you both say yes, you can start chatting

Straight to the conversation

No public profile, no strangers browsing. Everyone’s 18+, and you only start chatting once you’ve both said yes.

Swiping is a part-time job you never applied for

Four hundred swipes, three unread openers, zero people met. Most other apps are built to keep you scrolling, not to get you out of the house and connecting with people in real life.

There's a different way to find your people. Meet Ayo.

Endless scrolling

Hundreds of profiles to browse, filter and figure out. The searching never seems to end.

Decision fatigue

A long list of strangers and an interview process

Conversations that go nowhere

The awkward openers, the small talk, the chats that fizzle out before you've even made plans.

There's a different way to find your people.
Meet Ayo.

Straight answers to fair questions

New to Ayo? Here's everything you need to know about finding your people.

Who is Ayo for?

Anyone 18+ who’d like to meet someone new in the UK: a new mum friend, a study partner, a flatmate, someone to go hiking with, with or to practise a language with.

What happens when I chat to Ayo?

You tell Ayo what you’re after in your own words, and it asks a few questions to understand what you mean. Then it goes looking. When it finds someone who fits, it introduces you both with a short bio and why it thinks you’d get on.

If you both say yes, Ayo shares your numbers so you can start chatting.

How is Ayo different from others out there, like meetup or bumble?

Most apps give you a list or a feed and leave the searching to you.

Ayo works the other way round: you say what you’re after, it does the looking, and it introduces you to one person at a time.

How much does it cost?

Ayo is free.

Save your money for the coffee with your new connection.

How does Ayo check people’s age?

Everyone on Ayo is checked to confirm they’re 18 or over before they’re introduced to anyone.

Ayo partners with a third party provider Yoti to check this. You can find out more in our Support Hub.

Is my information private?

Yes. There’s no public profile for anyone to browse. When Ayo introduces you, the other person sees your first name, a short bio, your photo and what you have in common. Your number is only shared if you both say yes, and if either of you says no, the other person isn’t told. You can ask us to delete your data at any time through the Support Hub.

How do you say Ayo?

Ay-yo. Rhymes with mayo, and goes with just about anything.

Is Ayo a real person?

No, Ayo is an AI. The people it introduces you to are real.

How long will it take for Ayo to find someone for me?

Good connections are worth taking the time to find. Ayo looks for someone who fits what you're after, even if it's something quite specific. Rather than endless profiles to scroll through, you'll get one thoughtfully chosen introduction at a time, with a reason why Ayo thinks you'd get on. Finding the right person can take a while, but there's no searching, swiping or constantly checking your phone. Ayo will let you know when someone's found.
