AI-powered matching for every organization
Aphinity creates meaningful 1:1 introductions that boost engagement, strengthen culture, and reduce churn. Whether you run a company, community, or university—our coffee chat software and matching platform adapts to your needs.
Why 1:1 introductions are the most effective engagement strategy
When organizations grow, human connections don't scale on their own. Recognition fades, talent stays invisible, and learning stalls. Remote work compounds the problem—employees, members, and students miss the hallway conversations and spontaneous encounters that once built relationships naturally.
Research backs this up: companies with strong internal connections experience 4x higher revenue growth (Deloitte). Engaged employees are 17% more productive (Forbes). Community members who form early connections are 2.5x more likely to stay active long-term.
Aphinity solves this by automating the entire matching and introduction process. Our AI analyzes profiles, goals, interests, and roles to create intentional pairings—not random ones. The result: meaningful conversations that build lasting relationships, delivered directly into Slack, Discord, or email where people already communicate.

Frequently asked questions about community matching
What is a community matching platform?
A community matching platform like Aphinity uses AI to create meaningful 1:1 introductions between people in your organization or community. Unlike random pairing, Aphinity analyzes profiles, goals, interests, and roles to create intentional matches that lead to productive conversations and lasting relationships. It works across Slack, Discord, and email.
How is Aphinity different from random coffee chat tools?
Random coffee chat tools pair people without context, often leading to awkward conversations with little common ground. Aphinity uses AI-powered matching that considers shared goals, complementary skills, department, seniority, and personal interests. The result is 85% satisfaction rates compared to roughly 40% with random matching, plus stronger relationships that last beyond the initial chat.
What types of organizations use Aphinity?
Aphinity is used by companies (for employee onboarding, mentorship, and internal networking), online communities (for member engagement and retention), and universities (for student-alumni mentoring and peer connections). Any organization that needs to connect people at scale benefits from automated, AI-powered matching.
How long does it take to set up Aphinity?
Most organizations launch their first matching program in under 10 minutes. Connect your Slack or Discord workspace (or use email), define your matching criteria, set your cadence, and invite participants. Aphinity handles matching, introductions, reminders, and feedback collection automatically. No IT support or complex configuration required.
Can I run multiple matching programs at the same time?
Yes. Many organizations run multiple programs simultaneously—for example, a new hire onboarding program, a cross-department networking program, and a mentorship program all at once. Each program has its own matching criteria, cadence, questions, and analytics dashboard so you can track results independently.
What platforms does Aphinity integrate with?
Aphinity integrates with Slack, Discord, and email for introductions and communication. Matches can be delivered directly into the channels and DMs where your team already communicates, so there's no friction of adopting a new tool. Calendar integrations help participants schedule their conversations easily.
How much does community matching software cost?
Aphinity pricing starts at $15/month for small teams and scales with your organization. Unlike per-user pricing that gets expensive quickly, we offer flat rates based on program size. Most organizations see ROI within the first quarter through improved engagement, reduced turnover, and stronger culture. Enterprise plans with custom features are available on request.
Is Aphinity secure and compliant?
Yes. Aphinity uses enterprise-grade security with encrypted data storage and transmission. We follow industry best practices for data protection and privacy. You control exactly what data is collected from participants and how matches are made. Participant information is never shared with third parties.
