A gente vemos então.
‘Vemos’ is the first‑person plural form; it does not match the singular verb required by ‘a gente’.

Cultural Tip
‘A gente’ is the go‑to pronoun for ‘we’ in everyday Brazilian Portuguese, but it’s considered informal. In formal contexts you should use ‘nós’ with a verb in first‑person plural (e.g., ‘Nós nos vemos’). Also, ‘então’ can function as a filler word (like ‘so…’) – be mindful of tone when you use it to close a plan.
