The Intent

intent matching for the right moment

Find the room that matches what you want right now.

No feed. No followers. No algorithm deciding what you see. Declare an intent — "find co-founders in Bengaluru", "learn tabla", "ship a game jam this weekend" — and you're matched into the right live room in seconds.

Communities that exist because you asked for them

Every room on The Intent is created by two or more people declaring the same intent at the same time. When the intent fades, the room can too. Nothing is engineered to keep you scrolling.

Declare

One sentence about what you want to do right now. That's your entire profile.

intent_type: join_group

Match

Live intents are matched on meaning — confidence scored, never inferred from your history.

profile_similarity ≥ 0.34

Land

A room opens the moment a match clears the policy gate. Real people, right now, same goal.

decision: ALLOW → visible

Infinite feed

Engagement-optimized ranking, parasocial follower graphs, and content you never asked for.

Finite rooms

You came for something specific. You got it. You leave. That's the product working, not failing.

02 · monetized — without surveillance

Ads that answer an intent, not stalk a person

Search built the biggest ad business in history on inferred intent. The Intent runs on declared intent — the strongest commercial signal there is — with zero behavioral tracking. Brands bid on intent clusters, never on people.

Intent-matched sponsors

CPM + CPA / per cluster

One labeled sponsor slot per room, matched to the room's declared intent. Placement only in ALLOW-state rooms — brand safety is enforced by the policy engine, not a moderation queue.

The only social network with an audit trail

Every match, block, and sponsored placement is evaluated by a deterministic policy engine and written to a hash-chained log. Regulators, brands, and users can verify why something was shown — or why it never was.

// intent_audit.log — hash-chained, replayable
