A new AI productivity tool will help you write emails and generate pickup lines. Its creators are 4 college students who struggle to 'converse with people'

• Rizz is an AI productivity tool that can generate pickup lines and food reccomendations.
• It's currently available both as a keyboard extension and a standalone app.

There's an AI tool for virtually anything you can think of — from attending virtual meetings on your behalf and transcribing many languages to generating unique images and writing essays.

On January 2, a group of college students launched Rizz, an AI productivity tool available for download on App store and Google Playstore. Rizz now has over 130,000 users after it went viral on social media, per The Washington Post.

Available as both a custom keyboard extension and a standalone app, Rizz helps to generate anything from a last-minute excuse to a quirky pickup line with just a prompt.

Rizz was founded by four college students. Charis Zhang, 20, Oliver Johansson, 20, Tobias Worledge, 19, are all sophomores at the University of California at Berkeley, while Daniel He, 20, is a sophomore at the University of Southern California, per The Washington Post.

All four creators are computer science majors "who stay in their rooms all day coding," per The Washington Post citing Zhang.

Their personal experience with struggling to chat with people was what inspired them to create the app. "The reason we created this app is that we're experiencing the pain of not fully knowing how to converse with people," Zhang told The Washington Post.

Zhang also recently announced the launch of another AI product — wyd.ai — an "empathetic AI friend" that "sounds eerily human and remembers previous conversations it has had with you," per his Linkedin post.

Coincidentally, there are currently two viral AI apps called Rizz. Three entrepreneurs in New York are behind the other Rizz app and it has 250,00 users, according to The Washington Post.

Correction: April 28, 2023 — An earlier version of this story did not mention that there are two viral AI apps called Rizz.
