Question 1

What is Clique?

Accepted Answer

Clique (cliquehub.digital) is an AI-powered social platform that matches people in the UAE by shared interests. It connects residents, expats, and community builders through Interest-based Circles, curated events, activities and experiences, and an app supported by Cleo, Clique's AI Social Concierge. Clique is not a dating app. It is the place where people in Dubai actually find their people.

Question 2

How does AI power the Clique platform?

Accepted Answer

Clique uses AI for member matching, automated moderation, personalised content recommendations, engagement insights, and community health scoring. Cleo, Clique's AI concierge built into the app, powers matching and discovery across events, activities and experiences. The more a member engages, the smarter the recommendations become.

Question 3

Who is Clique built for?

Accepted Answer

Clique is built for anyone living in the UAE, including new arrivals, long-term residents, locals, and community builders, who want to build genuine social connections based on shared interests rather than nationality or demographics.

Question 4

How is Clique different from InterNations, Meetup, or other expat platforms?

Accepted Answer

Unlike InterNations or Meetup, Clique matches members by interest and behaviour rather than nationality or location alone. Every connection is intent-based and community-driven. Clique also features dual-consent connections, UAE Pass authentication, Clique Coins rewards, and Cleo, an AI concierge built into the app, none of which exist on legacy expat platforms.

Question 8

What are Interest Circles on Clique?

Accepted Answer

Interest Circles are AI-curated community groups organised around shared passions such as padel, entrepreneurship, wellness, food, or tech, rather than nationality or demographics.

Question 9
