Idea 22 ยท Rooms, a working name
Say "let's start a group" and it exists, open, right there in the browser. No app to download, for you or anyone. Share a QR or a link, they join in a tap. Spin one out of a Zoom call, a meetup or a match, no phone numbers, no swapping WhatsApps.
"Let's start a group."
One click. No app, no number, for you or anyone.
They opened the link in their own browser. No download, no phone number, no contact details.
A scripted demo: one click, a QR and a short link, and people drop in from their own browser. No app, no numbers.
Instead it means everyone downloading the same app, or collecting numbers, or nobody sharing their WhatsApp, so the group never happens.
On a Zoom call, at a meetup, across a cohort, the moment to connect passes, because there is no one-click, no-app "let's have a group".
Group chats never die, they haunt. Nobody knows what a group is for or when it is over.
Your work self and your football self are forced to share one phone-number identity everywhere.
A group in one second.
A group exists instantly, open, no app and no setup. You get a QR code and a short link.
Scan the QR or open the link, no download. It pops out of wherever you were, a Zoom call or a chat. Friends and friends of friends first, through a two-question form. No phone number, personas over one account.
Voice is like walking into a room mid-conversation. Groups can be anchored to a live moment and fade when it ends, or the ones that matter vote to stay.
Voice is a room, not a call.
A group should take one second, need no app, and cost you no contact details.
It lives on the web. A QR or a link is the whole door, for you and for everyone you bring in.
Personas over one verified account. Be your work self here, your cohort self there. No phone number required.
Voice is a room, not a call. Walk in, walk out, nothing recorded.
Groups can end. The ones that matter choose to stay.
The form is the velvet rope. Two questions, instant accept, no strangers by default. Promo groups are invited, never injected.
52% of Gen Z prefer DMs, and around 70% of Gen Z Instagram engagement is private. Team research, July 2026.
A Zoom call ends and the connection dies, a cohort scatters, a meetup never becomes a group. Nobody makes that one click.
Nobody has to install anything to be in.
Nobody serves it to adults without the admin and the culture.
The incumbent cannot offer multiple identities without breaking itself.
Free for people. Companies pay for promo-anchored groups, a launch, a drop, a match sponsorship, discoverable opt-in only. Sponsors as participants, never as interruptions.
No. They scan a QR or open a link and they are in, in the browser.
Your DMs stay where they are. This is where groups start, in one click.
No. One account, your personas, no number, no WhatsApp swap.
Yes: one click, and a QR and link pop out of the call so anyone can join in their browser.
No. Voice is a room: walk in, walk out, nothing kept.
A QR or a link is the whole door, for you and everyone you bring in.
