### WHAT IS THE EVENT ABOUT

This is an online event in which participants get paired 1-on-1 randomly and anonymously to talk for 15-minutes in a voice chat room (no camera, only audio).
The topic is free - work, hobbies, daily life and etc. - just avoid sharing personal, identifiable information.
It is super chill and casual - no need for any experience or preparation, we only ask you to use headphones and microphone, and sit in a quiet environment.

Here is what we expect of participants:
- Fluent in English (dialects, accents OK)
- Speak clearly, use microphone and headphones.
- Make friendly conversation (any topics OK).

Please note: The conversations are recorded and will potentially be used for AI training, which is the reason we will compensate participants. Join only if you are comfortable with this.

### WHO ARE WE

We are a voice AI startup founded in Tokyo, Japan (now based in San Francisco, California), and we regularly host voice sessions online, where you get paid to talk to other people. We collect the voice data by audio recording to develop the next-generation AI.
Our focus is spontaneous, natural conversation, so all of our sessions are relaxing and casual, where we also encourage participants to get to know each other and make friends.

### FAQ - Frequently asked questions.

→ I am a bit worried about privacy. What if I say something that could identify me?
We take privacy seriously. If you don’t want your conversation data to be used, you can choose to delete or withhold it. Participation is always under your control.
And don't worry - if you accidentally say something that you don't want recorded, it is possible to delete part of the voice chat by clicking the "Delete last 10 seconds"-button in the chat room. If you have any further issues or worries - feel free to contact us, and we will see what we can do :)

→ I am not located in The United states. Can I still join?
Unfortunately, at the current time, the chatrooms are only available for US residents. This is due to delay occurrences in audio if located too far away.
We also do sessions for residents of Japan - please click here if you are located in Japan.
We are working on expanding to other countries as well, so please stay tuned.

→ I had a great talk session with the other person, but is it possible to stay in touch afterwards?
Yes! We have a new function that lets you add the other person as a friend, where you can also continue to message each other afterwards. You are welcome to add each other on other platforms (Discord, Instagram, etc.) as well after the session.

If you have any further questions, please contact us through Discord or here on Meetup.
