Friendly small groups, at your tables, at the times you choose
TruFriend.ai helps grown-ups in Dubai, Riyadh and Kuwait City make real friends. Our members meet in small groups of 3 to 10 people for coffee, food, games, walks and padel, always in public places. Partner venues are the places we point them to.
Free for Founding Partners. No contract, stop anytime.
How it works
- You tell us your perk and your quiet hoursA small thank-you for members on a TruFriend plan, like a free pastry, a coffee refill or 10% off for groups. You choose it, and you can change it anytime.
- We list you first and send groups your wayYour venue appears first in the circles that fit it, marked “★ TruFriend partner”, with your perk and a link to book. Hosts see your best times for groups.
- Groups arrive and mention TruFriendMembers show their plan at the counter. Everyone pays for their own order. Once a month we email you how many TruFriend plans and members came, and on which days.

Questions from venues
Do we pay anything?
No. Being a Founding Partner is free. There is no contract, and you can stop at any time.
Do members get free food?
No. Members pay for their own orders. The perk is the small thank-you you choose, and only for members on a TruFriend plan that day.
Who are the members?
Grown-ups living in Dubai, Riyadh or Kuwait City who joined by invitation to make friends, often people new to the city. Friendship only, not dating. Members follow our community rules and safety guidelines.
How big are the groups?
Between 3 and 10 people, usually 4 to 6. TruFriend doesn’t organise or ticket the plans: a member hosts each one.
