Facebook Dating is introducing an AI assistant to enhance user experience and improve match suggestions. Users can now ask the chatbot to find matches based on specific criteria, such as a “Brooklyn girl in tech,” or seek help in refining their profiles.
Meta has unveiled a new feature called Meet Cute on Facebook Dating to combat swipe fatigue. This feature offers users a weekly surprise match selected by an algorithm, aiming to make the matchmaking process more exciting and personalized.
The company reports a 10% increase in Facebook Dating matches among adults aged 18 to 29, with a growing number of users creating profiles each month. While Meta’s user base is smaller than competitors like Tinder and Hinge, the introduction of AI features is set to level the playing field in the online dating industry.
AI technology has become a standard in modern dating apps, with platforms like Sitch incorporating AI features to enhance user interactions. Match Group, the parent company of popular dating apps, has invested heavily in AI, introducing features like AI-powered matching and photo selection tools to improve user experience.
Bumble has also integrated AI features into its platform, with founder Whitney Wolfe Herd suggesting the possibility of personal AI concierges for users in the future. These advancements in AI technology are reshaping the online dating landscape and revolutionizing how people connect and interact.
