Bots for matching - study buddies, lunch buddies, new friends, 1-for-1 deals, going to events and more:
If you’re feeling bored or want to meet more peers, you may check out these telegram bots for matching anonymously with other users! These were first started way back in 2021 across different universities during the Covid-19 pandemic and was viral on TikTok for a time ( https://www.tiktok.com/@nicolettecalliewe/video/6973191836521237762 , https://www.tiktok.com/@ninjabread_/video/6971050102278360321 ), gaining over 50k users!
These bots match you for an anonymous chat through the bot (which acts as a middleman), and you can choose to share your @ only when you are comfortable!
Note: This project originally received NUSSU Council Funding in 2022. NUSSU is not involved in nor responsible for any of the project’s operations.
The bot continues to operate today, and is student-run!
@nusmatchbot : opt to match only with verified NUS students, match by faculty/batch/major, and goals — such as grabbing lunch or getting 1-for-1 deals together! This may be used for making friends or getting helpful senior advice too. 🎓
@nuschatbot : older version; quick match but lack of student email verification means higher risk of spammers/scammers — use with caution!
—-
@cupidsgbot : this bot is geared more towards dating, and you can match by MBTI and specific dating goals! 💘
@simplymeetbot : match by location; chats reset at 10 am daily, and you can opt to meet with verified students who are already near you (e.g. also on campus). This is meant for meet-ups for lunch/dinner/activities etc. (you can set various goals) on the day itself. This is meant for wholesome meet-ups, and there isn’t gender selection by default. 🤝
Nonetheless, stay safe and limit the personal info you share when chatting!
