Due to the physical and spatial disconnect, online learners frequently experience social isolation that negatively impacts students' well-being and learning experiences. We present an AI agent named SAMI (stands for Social Agent Mediated Interaction) that can read and analyze online learners' self-introduction posts on the class discussion forum to connect students with similar interests together. In the poster, we describe how SAMI works and what the online learners think of SAMI. We then discuss the potential of human-AI interaction research under the theoretical framework of Mutual Theory o
