You didn't sign up for the internet to feel lonelier.
There's a quieter way to do this.
million people
We want to connect a hundred million people in real conversations — the kind you actually remember. Aveola is a place where you can meet someone face to face, in real time, across any language or border, and decide for yourself whether you want to keep talking. Every connection is chosen. Nothing is assigned to you.
People come first
Every feature on Aveola starts with one question: does this make a real conversation more likely? If the answer is no, we don’t build it. We’d rather ship one thing that helps you actually be heard than ten that pad a metric.
Different is the point
A retired teacher in Lagos and a welder in Osaka can find each other and have something to say. Aveola is built so that meeting across cultures and languages feels easy, not edgy. The mix is the gift.
It has to just work
Bad video kills good conversations. We work hard so the call connects fast, holds steady, and gets out of the way of what you’re actually here for.
We help people stick around
Aveola is for finding the people you keep coming back to: the friend in another time zone, the regular who waves hello on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Not one chat and gone.
We keep moving
New ways to talk, new ways to choose, new things to try together. The Aveola you join today won’t be the same one you use a year from now, and we like it that way.
People who want to meet someone new without losing the evening to a feed. People who like the energy of a live conversation, but only when it’s one they chose. If any of that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
The 19-year-old in Bogotá who logs on to wind down after work.
The student in Cairo who wants to practice her Italian with someone who actually speaks it.
The retired teacher in Lagos curious about what a Tuesday looks like in Tokyo.
The night-shift nurse in Manila who finally has an hour to herself.
You’re in charge.
A chat starts when you say yes, and it ends when you say so. We never connect you with anyone you didn’t pick.
If something feels off, tell us.
You can report or block anyone, in any conversation, without explaining why. We’d rather hear about it once too often than miss it once.
We listen, then we change things.
A lot of what’s good about Aveola came from someone telling us what wasn’t working. Keep telling us.
We don’t pretend to be perfect.
Things break. People sometimes behave badly. When that happens, we want to know about it, and we want to fix it.
Choose who you talk to.
No random matching. Every video chat is a request you can accept or decline. Video starts blurred — the picture clears when you both decide it’s on.
Find the right people.
Filters let you sort by interests and gender, so the people you see line up with what you’re actually here for.
Share a slice of your day.
With Stories, post a short moment from where you are: a sunset, a song, a coffee in a city most of us haven’t been to.
Keep talking when the call ends.
Messaging picks up where video left off. Time zones get easier when you don’t have to be live to stay in touch.
We use Hive — the same AI moderation behind Discord and Reddit — to scan video, photos, and Stories for nudity, violence, and signs that someone under 18 is on the other end. Anything flagged gets blocked, and the call ends.
Your chats, calls, and photos stay yours. The moderation runs automatically — no one on our team reads your messages or watches your calls.
We won’t promise perfection. We promise we work on it, every day.

We're a small team building Aveola in the open. We're spread across several countries, and most of us joined because we wanted a place like this and couldn't find one. We don't always get it right, but we care about the same things the people on Aveola care about: finding each other, talking honestly, and making the room a little kinder.
We're around. Come say hi on whichever one you already spend time on.
