Overview
What Meetup does
Meetup carries in-person events organised by local groups, and this app queries that catalogue from a conversation. Rather than scanning a feed by category, someone describes the sort of evening they are after and gets events that fit the description.
The examples run from a quiet board game session to networking drinks for people building careers, and results can be narrowed by interest, city, and date.
Each suggestion carries the detail that decides whether it is worth going: what the event actually involves, who has already said yes, which group is hosting, and how that group is rated. The app is published by Bending Spoons US Inc.
What stands out
Results include the attendee list and the hosting group's rating, not just the event description.

Where Meetup is listed
Meetup is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. Bending Spoons US Inc. has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
