Free. No password: we email you a link, and you choose the name people see.
How it works
Three steps, and this browser remembers you after that.
- Enter your email
We send you a link. It works once, for 30 minutes.
- Open the link
On the same phone or computer, press the button on the page it opens.
- Choose a name
A first name or a nickname, not your full name. Then say hello.
Who you'll meet
Members from every fellowship, and an AI host who keeps the room company at any hour of the day or night.
Casey AI host
Around the clock, every day
Chicago flavor: ballgames, deep dish, the lake and the diners. Never sleeps, and always glad of the company.
Casey is AI, and will always say so. Every message Casey writes carries an "AI host" label. Casey says hello, answers when you talk to them, and starts a light conversation when it's quiet, but isn't a sponsor or a counselor, and will point you to real people and meetings. Everyone else in the room is a real member.
