KuhuChatAbout KuhuChat
Kuhu is the call of the koel, the song that tells you spring has come home. KuhuChat is one app for the communities of India and for families who live far from their villages. You chat, see your family tree, find matches, share memories, run a business, plan a trip and book a hotel, all with your mobile number and in your own language.
Chat that stays with your people
Private chats with the contacts on your phone, and groups of up to 1,024 members. Send text, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, GIFs and your location, share live location for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours, set reminders on any message, and keep chatting offline: messages wait in an outbox and send when the signal returns. Chats are encrypted before they are stored.
Family Tree on a map
The Banyan Map puts your family on a map of India, with a pin for every relative at their village or home. Add relatives from your Samaj or by hand, confirm relations with each other, and see how families from different villages join up. 103 relation names, such as Dada, Nana, Chacha, Mama, Jeth and Devar, show in your own language.
Matrimony inside your Samaj
Make a biodata with photos, browse profiles from your caste group, filter by age, education and profession, and send an interest. Phone numbers are shared only after both people accept. There is no agent and no fee, and you can block or report a profile.
Gallery, Radar and Wall
Share photos, videos and documents in the Samaj Gallery, with admins approving what goes up. Leave memory pins on the Community Radar at the place where a photo was taken, and see what your people captured nearby. Every member also has a personal Wall for messages, voice notes, GIFs, spray art and small gestures such as doors.
Business Circle
A directory of shops, manufacturers, wholesalers and service providers. Owners build a Business Hub with products, prices, offers and FAQs, and verify PAN, GST and other government records. Customers can search by place or category, follow a business, get nearby alerts and rate it. Up to 3 businesses per person.
Mitra, Diary and AI helpers
Thread Diary keeps photos, videos, voice notes, documents and messages together in named threads, like a case file, and the AI answers only from what you saved. Relation Analysis reads one chat at your request and shows real numbers with a short, honest summary. Photo and Video Analysis describes what the AI can see and hear, and says when it is unsure.
Voice Status and Reminders
Record a short voice note that your Samaj or your contacts can play, or leave a voice message for one person. Set reminders, with an optional voice note, from a chat message, a Diary thread or on their own.
Trips and hotels
Pick a start and a destination and watch an animated preview of the road, with sights and hotels on the way, then save it and share the trip video. Search and book hotels anywhere in India by place, dates and guests, with filters, reviews, secure payment and a booking confirmation. Groups of 10 or more send a group request.
Toolbox
Everyday tools in one place, such as a document scanner, notes, a speed meter and a noise meter, so you do not need a separate app for each.
Your privacy
You sign in with your mobile number, with no password. Your contacts are matched using scrambled numbers, and live location runs only while you share it. You can delete your account yourself from inside the app, and what is deleted and what is kept is written out in the FAQ. Chat photos and videos, wall posts and voice notes expire automatically, so storage stays small.
Made for India's languages
The whole app works in 13 languages: English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese and Urdu. Names written in one script can be found by searching in another.
Built in India
KuhuChat is made by a small independent team. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
Your Samaj, your community
Everything above is built around your Samaj: the people of your caste and native village, wherever they live now. Admins of each village approve new members and posts, villages of the same caste can connect by vote, and families far from home stay close to the village they came from. KuhuChat is for the community first, and for the person inside it.
