Show HN: An AI social networking app that treats hallucinations as a feature

https://friendtest.fun/
1•funldsaw•2h ago
I’ve been seeing a lot of ideas around LLM agents acting on your behalf in networking or dating apps. I wondered: what if this were much simpler—almost NGL-simple?

In this app, you create a private profile that only your own agent can read. Other people never see it directly. Instead, you find a friend’s name card, let your agent chat with their agent, and have the agents evaluate your compatibility.

Because profiles are only visible to each user’s agent, hallucination ends up playing an interesting role. It becomes a way to express things you might want to share, but feel too awkward to put on a public profile. The agent conveys that information indirectly and ambiguously.

I built this mostly as an experiment. If you try it, I’m curious to see what kinds of funny or unexpected results come out of it.
