For teens and young adults this paradox is playing out every day. Rates of loneliness, anxiety, and depression have never been higher. And even as social media fills every free moment, studies show users feel worse after scrolling, not better.
This isn’t a glitch. It’s a design outcome. Most social platforms today were built to maximize engagement — not relationships. They reward spectacle over sincerity, comparison over connection, and passive consumption over active participation. In trying to feel more connected, many users are actually feeling more isolated.
That’s the problem we created Woopdo to solve.
Using generative AI, we create shared experiences called "Woops" that are playful, purpose-driven, and designed to spark real-world interaction. Whether it’s two friends wandering through a market, a sibling pair creating their own trivia night, or a group of teammates breaking the ice before a meeting, Woopdo delivers connection in the form of action.
We're not doing gamification for its own sake. We're using our expertise in the “science of permission” and behavioral design to reduce the friction of being together. To help people reconnect with one another, and with themselves.
Our first users are Gen Z creators and experience-hunters. But the problem we’re solving is much bigger and far more universal. Humans everywhere are losing the muscle memory for how to show up, be present, and bond in meaningful ways. We believe technology can help restore it.
Keep doing wonderful! The founders.
