Soki: A Social Experience

Soki turns the venues you walk into: restaurants, bars, cafés, apartments, hotels, campuses, co-working spaces, events: into live communities you can actually join.

The moment you step inside, the venue's digital layer unlocks: see who else is there, jump into the live chat, share Real Moments captured with both cameras at once, vote in polls about tonight's lineup, RSVP to upcoming events, and connect with people who share your interests. No setup. No friction. Just walk in and you're in.

DISCOVER VENUES NEAR YOU
Browse the Soki Discover tab to find venues hosting live communities near you. See which spots are active right now, check the local weather, and preview the scene. Tap any venue to see its menu, photos, recent reviews, payment info, and guest activity before you decide to head over.

JOIN THE LIVE CONVERSATION
Every Soki venue runs a geo-fenced group chat that only people physically there can join. Chat with the table next to you, ask the bartender about tonight's special, or find out what's on the schedule. Conversations stay tied to the moment: they don't follow you home and they aren't mined for ads.

CAPTURE REAL MOMENTS
Soki's dual-camera Real Moments captures front and back at once: your reaction and what you're seeing: and shares it with everyone at the venue. No filters, no heavy edits, no curated highlight reels. Just real life at this venue, this week.

CONNECT WITH PEOPLE WHO SHARE YOUR INTERESTS
Vibe Explorer surfaces guests in the same space who share your interests. Friend Finder helps you make a first connection: private on both sides until you each choose to connect. Real introductions in real places.

RATE, REVIEW, RSVP, VOTE
Leave geo-verified, first-name-only reviews that the venue actually sees. RSVP to upcoming events with one tap. Vote in live polls about wing nights, open mics, or which DJ is on next. Read honest feedback from real guests who were actually there.

PRIVATE MESSAGES
Met someone interesting in the venue chat? Connect one-on-one through secure DMs that survive beyond the visit.

VENUE OWNERS HEAR YOU IN REAL TIME
Your reviews, polls, and feedback land on the venue's dashboard the moment you post — so they can fix what's broken, double down on what's working, and welcome you back next time.

SAFE COMMUNITY
Soki is designed for trust and accountability. Every guest profile uses a first name, content is filtered, and you can report or block any user directly from chat, DMs, or reviews. Our moderation team removes objectionable content and abusive users within 24 hours. Soki is intended for adults using public hospitality and community spaces.

HOW SOKI WORKS

Open the app at any participating venue.
The app detects you're in range and unlocks the live community.
Chat, share, vote, and connect for as long as you're there.
Keep the friends you make.

PRIVACY + RANGE-BASED ACCESS
Soki only unlocks a venue's community when you're physically there. We don't track your movements, we don't sell your data, and your conversations don't follow you beyond the spaces you join. Reviews display first name only to protect guest privacy.
