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 Austin and want to find their Texas community. Find live music friends on Sixth Street, BBQ companions, and people who understand that Keep Austin Weird is better with someone to be weird with
New in Austin on OctoSay is a community for people who just moved to the Texas capital — but unlike Austin Facebook groups where everyone is a tech transplant, here Octo helps you find connections beyond the industry bubble. You chat with Octo to sort out what you need — whether it is a live music companion on Sixth Street, a BBQ tasting partner, someone to float the river with, or just a friend who understands that Keep Austin Weird means finding your weird people, not just living in a weird city. 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 left California. No spam, no startup pitch events, no posts left unanswered. Just real people in Austin, 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.
