The filter also applies to copy, download and printing. Pairings follow a round robin: no pair repeats. This does not plan table seating or dietary needs. Everything runs in your browser.

Questions & answers

What does this generator create?

Build round-robin conversation pairings with a bye when the group has an odd size.

What are its limitations?

Pairs rotate without repetition until the round robin is exhausted. This pairs people; it does not optimize table seating or dietary needs.

Are the outputs saved automatically?

No. Results stay in the page until you clear, regenerate, change settings or leave. Download anything you need to keep. Settings files contain your inputs only.

Can I use my own content?

Yes. Edit the available fields before generating. List inputs use one item per line; exact duplicate list entries are removed.

What can I export?

Filtered results as TXT, CSV or JSON, plus a printable HTML file. Some development generators also offer a complete payload file. CSV cells that could be interpreted as spreadsheet formulas receive a protective apostrophe.
