AI That Helps Real People Connect
Orrbbit uses AI to help make discovering the right people nearby easier, safer and more relevant — while keeping real human connection at the centre of the experience.
AI helps identify the opportunity. You decide whether the connection happens.
Technology Should Support Human Connection — Not Replace It
Orrbbit was created to make real-world connection easier.
AI is used to help reduce some of the friction involved in finding relevant people, understanding shared interests and creating safer interactions. The goal is not to replace conversation, friendship, networking or community with technology.
Instead, Orrbbit uses technology to help create the introduction — while the real connection still happens between people.
Technology creates the opportunity. People create the connection.
AI Best Nearby Match
Orrbbit's AI Best Nearby Match helps surface people nearby who may share your interests, vibe, intentions or reasons for connecting.
Rather than simply showing the closest person, Orrbbit can consider multiple signals to help identify potentially relevant connections.
Today, this works through smart, signal-based matching: Orrbbit weighs the information below to bring the most relevant people within your Orrbitt to your attention — it's considered, not random.
Why This Match?
AI recommendations should feel understandable, not mysterious. Where possible, Orrbbit explains some of the reasons a connection may have been recommended.
These reasons are based on actual profile information you and the other person have chosen to share — never randomly generated explanations.
Why did Orrbbit recommend this person?
You share 4 interests
You're both open to networking
You're both interested in fitness
You're currently nearby
You're both open to meeting new people
Illustrative examples — real reasons reflect the information on each profile.
AI-Assisted Photo Verification
Photo Verification helps users feel more confident that the person behind a profile appears to match the photos they have uploaded.
Add your profile photos
You upload the photos that appear on your Orrbbit profile.
Take a live verification photo
You're asked to take a new photo in the moment, using your phone's camera.
The system compares
The verification system checks whether the live photo appears to match the person shown in your profile photos.
Get the orange tick
Successfully verified profiles receive an Orrbbit orange Photo Verified tick.
Photo Verified is not legal identity verification.
The orange tick means the user has completed Orrbbit's photo verification process. It does not mean Orrbbit has verified someone's legal identity.

You Stay in Control
Orrbbit AI can recommend a person. It cannot decide who you meet.
It can identify similarities. It cannot determine whether you will become friends.
It can create an opportunity. It cannot replace human judgement.
AI recommends. You decide.
AI, Your Data and Privacy
AI features should only use the information required to provide that feature — nothing more.
Matching
Best Nearby Match works from information you've chosen to share that's relevant to discovery — such as your selected interests, vibe, status, connection intentions and approximate proximity.
Photo Verification
Your live verification photo is used to complete the comparison with your profile photos. We're finalising the exact processing and retention details with our verification provider — these will be confirmed in our Privacy Policy as features roll out.
Third-party providers
Where a third-party provider processes information on Orrbbit's behalf — for example during photo verification — this will be described in our Privacy Policy.

Responsible AI at Orrbbit
Six principles guide how AI is used across the platform.
Human Control
People make the final decision about who they connect with.
Transparency
Orrbbit explains where AI is being used.
Privacy
AI should only access information necessary for the relevant feature.
Safety
AI should support existing safety systems rather than replace them.
Relevance
AI should help surface meaningful connections rather than encourage endless engagement.
Human Connection
AI exists to help create more real-world interaction — not more screen time.
Matching People With More Than People
Orrbbit isn't designed around one type of connection.
The same technology can help people discover someone to network with, meet a new friend, find professional support, join an activity or discover something happening nearby.
Breaking Down the Barrier to Connection
Sometimes the hardest part of meeting someone new is simply not knowing whether they want to be approached.
Orrbbit helps make intention visible. AI then helps identify potentially relevant people within that environment. Together, these features help remove some of the uncertainty that can prevent conversations from ever starting.
What if meeting someone new started with already knowing they were open to meeting you?
