ChatGo is an application designed to combat loneliness by encouraging meaningful human interaction and connection. It helps users meet new people randomly, but in a safe and intentional way.
This project was part of a design challenge focused on addressing social isolation. Through multiple iterations, the interface was refined to fully capture the intended functionality and user experience.
On startup, the application requires users to verify their identity with BankID to confirm their age group and match them with
others in the same demographic. Once verified, users are presented with two main options: Chat and Meet.
In Chat mode, the user is randomly paired with someone else who is also looking to chat. Both users have the ability to report
inappropriate behavior or end the conversation if they feel unsafe. If both parties are comfortable, the chat can be elevated
to a real life meetup.
The Meet option takes users to a map view where they can see nearby public meetup locations or create their own.
This feature encourages safe, real world interaction while maintaining user control and safety.
Users also have access to a fidget keychain featuring physical Meet and Chat buttons, which mirror the functions within the app. Designed for those who prefer a tactile experience, the keychain offers a sense of control over social interactions and helps foster a feeling of connection through physical engagement. It’s available in two sizes to accommodate different user preferences.
