Always three
Short enough that the thread lands on one instead of scrolling.
Message in · dinner out
Find where to eat,
together.
Viand sits in your group chat. Tell it roughly where you are and what everyone’s feeling, and it comes back with three spots — then counts the votes so nobody has to.

The table
Nobody wants to plan dinner.
Everybody wants to be at it.

How it works
It lives where the arguing happens.
No app, no link, no third tab. Viand just answers in the thread you’re already ignoring each other in — and it only asks the two questions that actually narrow things down.
- Right in your threadA real iMessage number, not a bot account or an invite link.
- Just talk normally“Mexican, under $25, one of us is vegetarian” is a perfectly good answer.
- Real places, real walking distanceEverything comes from live map data around wherever you said.
The shortlist
Three options.
Not three hundred.
A search box hands you a list and a brand new problem. Viand hands you a shortlist your group can actually agree on — close enough to walk to, cheap enough to say yes to, open when you want it.
Everyone’s stuff counts
One vegetarian and a $25 ceiling are filters, not footnotes.
Voting
The vote settles it.
Everybody replies with a number. Viand keeps score as the answers land and calls it once the room has spoken — no spreadsheet, and nobody stuck deciding for five people.
- Reply 1, 2, or 3That’s the whole interface. One digit.
- Counted as they come inThe tally updates right in the thread.

Hungry now?
Text Viand and it takes it from there. Works one-on-one, and works even better once it’s in the group chat.
