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 Edinburgh and want to find their Scottish social circle. Find castle walk friends, festival companions, and people who understand that this city is magical but doing it alone gets lonely
New in Edinburgh on OctoSay is a community for people who just moved to Scotland capital — but unlike Edinburgh meetup groups that only meet during the Fringe, here Octo helps you build year-round connections. You chat with Octo to sort out what you need — whether it is an Arthur Seat hiking companion, a Fringe festival friend, someone to explore the Old Town with, or just a friend who understands that Edinburgh is magical but Scottish social circles are famously hard to break into as an outsider. 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 why you chose Edinburgh over London. No spam, no tourist trap recommendations, no posts left unanswered. Just real people in Edinburgh, 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.
