Airchat's async audio approach takes away some of the scariness of putting your voice out there on the internet. In a 2023 Airchat-based interview with YourStory, Ravikant also says that "...the asynchronous nature of [Airchat] just allows me to talk to multiple people at the same time. Obviously, you could do the same thing on WhatsApp or Signal, but you couldn't do it with public forums."
Airchat is currently invite-only. Invites are shared via phone number. There are a few ways to get an invitation:
Let Airchat access your contacts: Download the app and allow it to access your contacts. The app will let you know if any of your contacts are currently on the app and can send you an invite.
Tap your larger network: Go beyond your phone contacts to find invites in your larger network. The easiest way to do this is by posting on LinkedIn, Threads, X (Twitter), or any other social network. Who knows – someone in your circle might be a super-connected early adopter? Maybe you know someone who knows someone who writes about tech?
Look for Airchat evangelists: Search for Airchat on X (Twitter), BlueSky, or LinkedIn and you’re sure to find a few early adopters who are excited about the app and want to share. That's how the Loomly Marketing team scored our first invites! Users get 20 invites to hand out, so it’s a game of exponential growth.
Reach out to the Loomly team! We have some invites to go around! DM Sarah or Ellie on LinkedIn and we’ll send an invite if we have any available. (We’ll remove this call-out once we run out.)
Should my business be on Airchat?
Time will tell how the app performs once it's made public and accessible to anyone who wants to join. For now you don't need to scramble to get your business on the app before it’s available to the public. It's always important to experiment with an app before you make a call about its place in your marketing mix, so if you work in marketing and can score an invite, we recommend you start with a personal account and poke around the app to see how it works.
