Our pledge
We find conversations. You show up as a human.
The internet is drowning in AI-generated replies. Bot accounts carpet-bombing Reddit threads with ChatGPT-flavored comments that say nothing. The conversations that used to make communities great are being buried under a layer of synthetic slop.
We think that’s broken. So here’s our commitment:
Conversations.so will never allow users to automatically reply to conversations via AI. Not today. Not ever.
We use AI for exactly one thing: finding the conversations worth your time. What happens after that? You click through, you read the thread, and you respond with your own words, your own expertise, your own voice.
That’s what makes it a real conversation.
How it works
Three steps. All human.
