Problem
Coordinating social meet‑ups often requires multiple back‑and‑forth messages to share availability, choose a venue, and secure a reservation, leading to wasted time and missed connections, especially across different calendar systems.
Solution
Circleup is a free mobile app that consolidates availability sharing, venue selection, and invitation sending into a single interface. Users can publish their free time slots, view friends’ overlapping windows, and pick a restaurant directly within the app. An AI‑driven booking agent then calls the chosen venue to secure a reservation automatically, eliminating phone calls and manual forms. Calendar integration syncs confirmed events to all participants’ calendars, ensuring the meetup appears in their schedules without additional steps. The platform maintains privacy by allowing users to control which availability details are shared while providing reminders and notifications to keep plans on track.
Target Audience
Circleup targets individuals and small groups in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria who regularly arrange casual meet‑ups, such as friends, family, or colleagues seeking a streamlined way to schedule and book gatherings.
