A Ukraine-wide service uses an AI questionnaire and Telegram to match strangers by values, arrange a restaurant table, and send them a code word for the meeting.

Why it surfaced

Randevu removes the usual weeks of messaging: participants answer 15 adaptive questions, receive physical, mental, household, and overall compatibility scores, then arrive at a public restaurant under a shared booking code. The combination of AI matching, privacy defaults, Telegram logistics, and blind dinners gives this polished landing page a distinctly specific social mechanism.
