What Is Airchat, the “Dinner Party in Your Pocket”?
what we know about naval's airchat, an audio-forward social app that blends features from clubhouse, snapchat, instagram, and tiktok

The social app Airchat, developed by @Naval, seems to be an asynchronous, audio-forward social platform that facilitates creative discussion among its users. Billed as “a dinner party in your pocket” in its teaser video, it looks like the app blends elements of Instagram stories (left-to-right tap-to-scroll), Snapchat (asnychronous content back-and-forth), Clubhouse (live audio), TikTok (vertical video that’s likable, sharable, commentable; filters), Twitter (short messages user can broadcast to a network that can be liked and commented on), and direct messaging, with AI-powered elements such as art and transcription and language translation.
Former Chief Product Officer at Tinder appears to be on board as founder.
Currently on waitlist, there’s little coverage of the app outside of a relative few high viewcount tweets, showcasing some of its more interesting features. From these tweets and the teaser video, I break out the app’s features below.
