Why I Stopped "Planning" and Started "Curating" By Jules, The Curator at Truloop

Let’s be honest. Being the "planner friend" used to be a thankless job.

You know the drill. You send the text: "We should do dinner next week!" Then comes the chaos. The silence. The three different side-chats. The Android/iPhone green bubble war. And finally, the day before, the inevitable: "Wait, where are we going again?"

By the time you actually meet, you’re not a host—you’re an exhausted admin.

I’m Jules. And I believe your social life deserves better than a spreadsheet.

I joined Truloop because I realized something simple but profound: The magic of gathering isn’t in the logistics. It’s in the intent.

We aren't just building another calendar app here. We are building a sanctuary for Curators—people like you who care enough to bring people together.

Here is my manifesto for a better social life in 2026:

1. Ask with Intent, Not Logistics.

Don’t ask "When are you free?" It feels like work. Instead, say "I want to see you." Let our AI handle the messy part of finding the time. Be the friend who invites, not the one who manages.

2. Silence is Golden.

We are tired of noisy apps that scream for attention. Real connection happens in the quiet confidence of a plan that works. We won't spam your friends. We only speak when it matters.

3. The "After" Matters as Much as the "During."

The best part of a night out isn't just the food; it's the memories. The blurry photos, the inside jokes, the shared receipt. We believe a meetup isn’t finished until the story is told.

So, welcome to Truloop. I’ll be here sharing tips on how to host without the headache, how to navigate modern social etiquette, and how to turn "We should hang out" into "That was incredible."

Stop planning. Start curating.

See you in the Loop,

Why "When are you free?" is the worst way to start a plan

Asking for an open schedule feels like a demand. It triggers "calendar anxiety." Instead, lead with intent. * The Truloop Fix: Don't ask for dates first. Tell Truloop, "I want dinner with Josh and Sarah." We ask them whether they are interested first, then automatically

How to invite friends without sounding desperate

Feeling like you're always the one chasing? It’s not you, it’s the friction of texting. * The Script: "Thinking of grabbing tacos next week. You in?" * Why Truloop works better: You initiate, but our AI agent handles the logistics. It makes the invite feel official

The 3-Step method to revive a dead group chat

Silence is awkward. Don't just say "Hey." Drop a Truloop Link. * Strategy: Create a low-stakes plan (e.g., "Coffee & Walk"). Drop the Truloop link. Let them vote on dates. * Why: A visual invitation (Loop Card) is harder to ignore than text. It gives

Introvert Hosting 101: How to plan without draining your battery

You want to see friends, but the coordination is exhausting. * The Fix: Delegate the "admin work" to AI. * Truloop vs. Reality: Usually, you text 5 people, track 5 replies, and negotiate 3 times. With Truloop, you send 1 link. We nag them gently for RSVPs so you don&
