Isolation feels like
Eating lunch alone in a dining hall full of people who all seem to know each other.
likeu
You’ve looked. The results are club fair flyers, campus counseling waitlists, and articles about “putting yourself out there.” There’s no search bar for what you actually need.
Maybe it's grief. Maybe it's identity. Maybe it's something you can't name yet. Your friends are great — but this isn't something you can drop at lunch.
CAPS is always seeing people — but that's not the same as having someone who gets it. The clubs are for interests, not for the things that actually matter to you.
Find people at UCLA — or beyond — who care about the same things. Not a club. Not a therapy replacement. Not another app that asks you to build a profile and scroll.
Just someone who gets it — privately, gradually, on your terms.
Every platform builds a social graph. Who you already know.
likeu builds an isolation graph.
The people you should know but never would.
Your first conversation here is with Dora. She's our AI. We built her because a form can't hold what you carry — but a conversation can.
How it works
You tell Dora what you carry
A conversation with our AI. She’s not a form. You tell her what matters to you — not your major, not your year.
She finds your people
People who care about the same things. Could be at UCLA, could be somewhere else. The connection is about what matters to you, not where you are.
A private room
A quiet, private feed. You share at your own pace. Nothing is public.
Is she recording me?
No. Dora doesn’t record audio or video. She’s text-only. Your conversation is used to build your profile — nothing else.
Who sees what I share?
No one in your room sees your conversation with Dora. They only see the profile you approve.
Is this therapy?
No. likeu is not a therapy platform. Dora is not a therapist. This is a place to find people who carry something similar — not clinical support.
What if I get stuck?
You can switch between Dora and a real person at any time. Same system, same privacy.
Dora
your first conversation
From what you share, Dora builds a profile in your words. You control what's visible, and when.
what you carry
moved across the country and still haven’t found my people
what you need
one person who’s also figuring it out, not a club, just a person
Garden — what your room sees
@kira.on.bruinwalk
probably in Powell right now pretending to study
Greenhouse · Roots
More becomes visible as trust grows
Then we find someone who carries what you'd recognize. You get a private room.
your room
You’re both here.
Say something when you're ready.

What’s something about being here that you haven’t told anyone yet?

I eat lunch alone most days. Not because I want to. I just don’t know how to walk up to a table of people who already know each other and say ‘can I sit here’ when you’re twenty.

The person sitting next to you in lecture might care about the same thing.
We’re building a place where they can find each other — without having to post about it publicly first.
You tell Dora what you carry. No forms, no profile to fill out. What you share becomes how we find your people.
Dora is AI. Your answers are private and never sold.
