- New dating app aims to fight ghosting
- The idea is to engage users in a discussion with their new partner… in an artificial intelligence version
- This innovative concept illustrates the desire of services to offer features that engage to start the conversation
This is an observation that many Internet users can make. On applications such as Tinder or Fruitz, it is not uncommon to match with a new partner without having a conversation.
It can also happen to exchange a few words before the interlocutor gives no more news. This ghosting is not necessarily annoying in itself, but it tends to tire some users. So much so that the platforms are looking for the parade.
An original answer, to say the least, is provided by the new Teaser AI dating app, which is developed by All Summer Long, Inc. The latter has not yet been launched, but its description can be found on the App Store. Its slogan immediately announces the color: “less talk, more action”.
Replace humans with AI
Very concretely, once two people have matched, a conversation begins… with an AI version of the new partner. Teaser AI is described as follows: “When you start Teaser AI, our AI starts getting to know you – through your profile and your chats, it gets smarter every time. »
And the developers add: “Potential partners can chat with your AI, and you can chat with theirs… When a meeting happens, we show the AI conversation in the chat, and then you take over. »
It remains to be seen if this feature will be really effective. It is indeed feared that once the discovery effect has passed, Internet users will tire of chatting with a machine.
Either way, Teaser AI has every intention of leveraging advances in artificial intelligence moving forward. Thus, these technologies will be used to fight against scams and toxic users.
As a reminder, we feel that this problem of ghosting worries dating applications. To get its members to chat, a service like Tinder has notably added features to match Internet users by affinity.
The dating services giant is also working on an ultra-premium offer that would be billed at $500 per month. We still do not know the precise outlines of this new subscription, but the idea is to bet on “quality” meetings as opposed to interactions deemed too superficial.
