History

akc is an acronym for "aji, ki, and chi". But what do those words mean?
They are terms some of my teammates and colleagues at the company use to refer to a friend with a specific level of closeness. An aji is a very close friend. Then comes a ki and finally a chi, indicating a close and normal friend, respectively.

Note: In Persian, aji means sister (my teammates and colleagues who invented the terms are girls, so they used aji instead of male equivalent "dada", meaning brother in Persian), ki means who, and chi means what.

Usage

akc works by keeping your friends' names, suggesting you connect them based on their closeness. The closer and less suggested by akc they are, the more chance akc suggests you connect them. It's that simple.

By default, there are 3 levels of closeness as described in history, called aji (very close), ki (close), and chi (normal). In addition, there are 4 default connection methods: Hanging out, video call, call and text. These don't have an equal effect on the chance of the same friend being suggested again. If you hang out with a friend, akc will probably re-suggest him/her with far less probability than if you texted him/her. In other words, hanging out, video call, call, and text have the highest to lowest cost respectively.
