How It Works
1. Discover Your Taste
Take the Taste Quiz or import your social media (Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest). Troviii analyzes your aesthetic preferences across 8 dimensions to build your Taste DNA — a living profile that evolves with every interaction. Dimensions include visual aesthetic, cultural depth, risk tolerance, era affinity, and sensory preferences.
2. Find Your People
Your Taste DNA connects you with people who share your aesthetic wavelength. Not followers — resonance. See taste overlap scores, discover niche shared interests, find your cultural tribe. At events, get matched with attendees who actually share your vibe.
3. Earn From Your Taste
Every recommendation, snap, and discovery earns attribution. When someone buys something you surfaced, you get credit. Your taste literally pays. The attribution chain tracks: Wearer (30-40%), Snapper (25%), Host (15%), Platform (30%).
Core Concepts
- Taste DNA
- A multi-dimensional profile of your aesthetic preferences built from your interactions, not self-reported surveys. Includes visual aesthetic, cultural depth, risk tolerance, era affinity, sensory preferences, and more.
- Snap-to-Earn
- See something you love at an event or in the wild? Snap a photo. Gemini AI identifies the product (brand, category, price). If someone buys through your snap, you earn attribution credit.
- Event Gatherings
- Events where attendees are matched by taste overlap, not just proximity. Before: set your intent (networking, dating, discovery). During: find your people through real-time taste matching. After: receive AI-generated artifacts from the collective experience.
- Attribution Chain
- Every purchase traces back through the discovery chain. Full transparency on who discovered what. Creator, wearer, snapper, and host all earn proportional credit.
- Archetypes
- Your taste profile maps to cultural archetypes (Parisian, Nordic, Mediterranean, etc.) that help match you with people, products, and experiences.
- Trust Escalation
- Trust is earned through behavior: Presence → Contribution → Encounter → Connection → Direct. Each level unlocks new interaction capabilities. No shortcuts.
Events and Gatherings
Troviii events are fundamentally different from traditional networking events. Instead of exchanging business cards with strangers, you're matched with people who share your actual taste — before you even meet.
Before the Event
- RSVP and set your private intent (networking, dating, friendship, mentorship, discovery)
- See taste previews of other attendees (anonymized)
- AI generates pre-event artifacts previewing the collective taste of the room
During the Event
- Real-time signal bar shows taste compatibility with nearby attendees
- Room DNA visualization shows the collective aesthetic of the space
- Mutual matches revealed only when both parties signal interest
- Photos stay blurred until mutual match — privacy-first, taste-first discovery
- Snap products you see being worn to earn attribution
After the Event
- AI generates collaborative artifacts: playlists, visual mood boards, recipe collections, constellation maps, theses, and more (10 artifact formats)
- Connection bridge: exchange taste cards, not business cards
- Missed connections: see who you almost matched with
- Next event suggestions based on your taste evolution
Features
Taste Discovery
- Taste Quiz: 8-dimension assessment covering visual aesthetic, cultural knowledge, sensory preferences, era affinity, and risk tolerance
- Social Import: Connect Instagram or TikTok. AI analyzes your content to extract taste signals
- Taste DNA Card: Shareable visual card showing your taste dimensions. Export as image or link
- Taste Wrapped: Annual summary of your taste evolution, top discoveries, and cultural connections (like Spotify Wrapped for taste)

Safety
- Age-safe defaults: Users under 18 have structural protections — no DMs, no photo reveal, no location sharing. These are architectural constraints, not content policies
- Trust escalation: Trust earned through behavior, not self-described
- Safe profiles at events: taste data only, no real names or photos until mutual match
- Blurred photos: Photos stay blurred until mutual match for privacy-first discovery

About
Troviii is created by Oriana Kraft. The platform was born from the insight that taste — not attention — should be the currency of social platforms. Your recommendations have real value. Troviii makes that value measurable, trackable, and earnable.
Companion platform: Vivere (vivere.world) — where stories become immersive, shoppable worlds.
