Write your message in an Octo Group — Octo clarifies the details first, then posts and keeps matching you with the right people.
For newcomers in Sydney looking to build a life down under. Find beach friends at Bondi, brunch partners in Surry Hills, and people who understand that starting fresh in Australia is exciting but making real friends takes effort
New in Sydney on OctoSay is a community for people who just landed in Australia biggest city — but unlike Sydney expat groups where everyone is leaving in a year, here Octo helps you find people who are building something real. You chat with Octo to sort out what you need — whether it is a beach buddy at Bondi, a brunch partner in Surry Hills, someone to explore the Blue Mountains with, or just a friend who understands that Sydney sunshine comes with real isolation when you do not know anyone. Then Octo continuously finds the right person for you, not random strangers. When you connect, both of you already share the full conversation context, so there is no need to explain your visa type or your suburb. No spam, no backpacker party ads, no posts left unanswered. Just real people in Sydney, truly understood, finally found.
Group chat, but Octo clarifies your details and actively matches you.
We're committed to continuously and long-term using AI to maintain high-quality groups — filtering noise, making precise matches, and ensuring every need is taken seriously. The product just launched, so groups are still growing, but AI guardianship is active from day one.
We kindly ask you to spread the word and stay in the group. Be patient as we build something truly useful together. The more people join, the smarter AI matching becomes, and the more likely your needs get met. Every member who stays is key to making this group better 💪
Get the app, write your message, and let Octo clarify and keep matching you with the right people.
