The Full Answer
Not completely. "Random" means you don't pick the person, but most services — Genzigs included — narrow the pool using the interests and filters you choose and who happens to be online. Genzigs first looks for another person who is free. If nobody is available within a few seconds, you are connected to an AI chat partner instead, and a simpler scripted partner is the last fallback. So the person is unpredictable, but the process follows rules.
How to influence who you meet
- Add one or two interests for a shared opening topic.
- Use filters sparingly — each one shrinks the pool and lengthens the wait.
- Chat during the evening in your region, when the most people are online.
Follow-up Questions
Why do I sometimes get matched instantly?
Either someone else was waiting at the same moment, or no person was free and you were connected to the AI fallback.
Can I choose a specific person?
Only someone you already chatted with, using the reconnect feature.
