Write your message in an Octo Group — Octo clarifies the details first, then posts and keeps matching you with the right people.
For people who just moved to Amsterdam and want to find their Dutch social circle. Find canal-side friends, cycling companions, and people who understand that the Dutch are friendly but their calendars are already full
New in Amsterdam on OctoSay is a community for people who just moved to the Dutch capital — but unlike Amsterdam expat groups where cycling advice replaces real friendships, here Octo helps you find genuine connections first. You chat with Octo to sort out what you need — whether it is a canal-side walking companion, a cycling buddy, someone to explore Jordaan with, or just a friend who understands that the Dutch are famously friendly but their social calendars are booked months in advance. 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 BSN number or your housing hunt. No spam, no room rental scams, no posts left unanswered. Just real people in Amsterdam, 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.
