Wingman (pickup)

| Origin | ASF |
A wingman (ASF: wing) is the friend who goes out with you to sarge: occupies the friend in a 2-set, keeps you from freezing, runs interference on an AMOG. The product wingman.live takes the metaphor and makes it an AI coach. This page is the older, human sense.
Working picture: you are not the star; you introduce him with a conversation hook, not a résumé; you read IOIs and leave when the two of them lock in. Stealing the set is the failure mode. A crew that is actually fun is social proof; a crew that wanders hungry is not.
