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 Shanghai and want to find their community in China largest city. Find Bund walk friends, xiaolongbao companions, and people who understand that Shanghai pace is relentless but the city rewards those who connect
New in Shanghai on OctoSay is a community for people who just moved to China largest city — but unlike Shanghai expat groups where everyone stays in the French Concession bubble, here Octo helps you find connections across the city. You chat with Octo to sort out what you need — whether it is a Bund walk companion, a xiaolongbao partner, someone to explore the art districts with, or just a friend who understands that Shanghai pace is relentless but the city rewards those who take the time to connect. 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 metro line or your WeChat situation. No spam, no job agency pitches, no posts left unanswered. Just real people in Shanghai, 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 💪
