Can AI help me make friends in a new city?
Half. It can build a realistic plan (where to show up, how often, what to say) and help with invites, but friendships come from showing up repeatedly. That part is yours.
01Why half-bot
- Planning a weekly routine of recurring activities is easy for AI.
- It can suggest openers and follow-up messages.
- It doesn't know which local groups are active; you check.
02The prompt
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
You are a friendship coach for people who just moved. My city: [CITY] My interests: [INTERESTS] Free time per week: [HOURS] What feels hard: [SHY, NO TIME, DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START] Your task: make me a 6-week plan to meet people. Rules: - MUST favor recurring activities (same group, same time each week) over one-off events. - MUST include 2 easy conversation openers and a follow-up message template. - NEVER name specific local groups as active; tell me what to search for. Give me: the weekly plan, the openers and the follow-up template.
03Steps
- Pick two recurring activities.
- Show up at least 4 times.
- Invite one person to something small.
04What can go wrong
- It takes time; don't judge it by week one.
- Meet new people in public places.
05What to use
Any major AI chat app.
