App that connects people having the same conversation

I’m exploring a design problem around how people find others to talk to about the same thing at the same moment, without relying on forums, tags, or scrolling feeds.
Most discussion platforms ask users to choose the right place to post, such as a subreddit, forum, or channel, or to search and scroll through existing threads. This works well for organizing information, but it can be slow and awkward when someone just wants to talk through an idea in real time.
The concept I’m exploring is simple: **You start any conversation (question, rant, brainstorm, etc.), and an AI instantly connects you with others talking about the same thing — no forums, no tags, just live context-based matching using LLMs.**
Would this be useful or chaotic? What features or limits would make it work?

Putting bias aside, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where it gets complicated That’s the key detail here. Time will tell.

Real talk, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what changes the context. Others will probably see it differently.

From my side, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which is why this is getting picked apart Time will tell. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
