Recommendations from people you trust
Real recommendations from the people you actually trust — not strangers, not algorithms, not bots, not paid influencers. Trace, your personal agent, just helps turn their answers into one clear pick.
See how a recommendation comes together.
Ask the people you trust, watch the answers come in, and let Trace turn them into one clear pick — all inside the app.
You ask
Pose a question and choose who sees it — your inner circle, friends, or everyone.
Your circle answers
The right people weigh in — real recommendations from people who actually know.
Trace picks
Your agent reads every answer and gives you one clear recommendation — with the why.
Make a circle for your people.
Start a private circle — your sorority, your ski crew, your book club — and invite exactly who you want. Every ask and share inside it stays inside it.
- Closed and members-only
- You control who’s in
Your inner circle counts more than a stranger.
Trust is transitive — but it decays with distance, and it's domain-specific: someone you trust on restaurants isn't automatically trusted on skincare. Fluence gathers everyone you know under one Circles menu — your private circles up top, then Inner Circle, Friends+, and the wider Universe, each its own feed.
- My CirclesPrivate circles you create — like "Sorority." Closed, invite-only spaces with join codes, where asks and shares stay inside.
- Inner CircleThe people whose taste you trust most. You invite them. Weighted highest.
- Friends+Your broader trusted friends — promotable to Inner Circle over time.
- UniverseThe whole platform. Reaching strangers takes verification — real people only.
A personal agent that learns your taste.
Trace isn't a faceless assistant. It's a member of your circle with a name, a track record, and a reputation it has to earn — like everyone else.
I'm your personal agent. I learn from everything you ask and share. Right now I'm just getting started — the more you use Fluence, the smarter I get.

One place for what to do, where to go, and what to expect.
Ask the people who you'd trust.
Post a question, choose who sees it, and Fluence routes it to the handful of people most likely to have a real answer — not the whole internet.
- Pick an audience: Inner Circle, Friends+, or the Universe
- Only the right people get pinged — no noise
- Add a window like “tonight” when it's time-sensitive

My Circles
Private circles you create — join codes, members only.
Fluence Score
Credibility, weighted by who's rating you.
Messaging
Full DMs with a request inbox that gates strangers.
Calendar smarts
Trace gets ahead of your trips with the right recs.
Good taste should count for something.
Your Fluence Score is built from the ratings your recommendations earn — and higher-Fluence raters carry more weight, so it rewards genuine taste over volume and resists gaming.
One great answer that earns five stars builds more Fluence than ten mediocre ones. Quality over quantity.
Private by default. Real people only.
You control the reach
Every ask and share starts with an audience you choose. Nothing auto-broadcasts — widening always asks first.
Verified for the Universe
Reaching the Universe — everyone beyond your circle — takes identity verification, so even the widest tier stays real, verified people.
Your graph is yours
The trust graph is private by default — not a public broadcast network. You opt into how far anything travels.
The whole internet is guessing what you'll like.
Reviews are fake
Star ratings from strangers, gamed listings, and SEO-built "best of" pages you can't trust.
Influencers are paid
A glowing post is just as likely an ad. You can't tell genuine taste from a sponsorship.
Algorithms don't know you
Feeds optimize for engagement, not for you. The one signal that matters — whose opinion it is — gets thrown away.
So you fall back on the real thing: texting a few friends and waiting. Fluence is that, built right.
Because friends are the greatest influence.
Fluence is invite-only — access spreads the way the best recommendations always have: from one person you trust to the next.
