Working with geolocation technology and augmented reality, the 'Grifidi' social experience app enables users to create [location-based conversations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/local-social-chats) and more for all to see. Users are able to isolate specific conversations to certain locations such as keeping a topic at one friend's place or chats about politics to the [White House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-castle-3) and so on.

The 'Grifidi' social experience app works like Pokemon Go to let users [explore their neighborhoods and communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperlocal-social-networks) to find various conversations. Users can then like, comment and share for others to see; this makes it almost like geocaching with a social media spin.

The 'Grifidi' app offers an intuitive interface for users to explore and makes it simple to explore new areas and get involved in different conversations.
