Soulmate

Superintelligent dating

Soulmate is a dating app with no swiping. Instead of scrolling through profiles, you talk with an AI matchmaker by voice. Over a series of short conversations it gets to know you, then makes introductions, each with a note on why the two of you might get along.

For small talk labs, we designed and built the iOS app, the website, and the voice and matchmaking systems behind them.

Try it, it’s worth it.

If you are single and burned out from swiping, you gotta try just one more app. I was skeptical that it was going to be like other AI dating experiences I tried, and it’s totally different. It ask you questions like therapist getting to know you, and then matches you slowly as other ppl engage with the app. It almost feels too easy, compared to all the time I put into other dating app profiles, but the match results speak for themselves. Try it.

In-depth and forward-thinking

The concept of conversational matching making is really interesting- the recaps it gives taught me a lot about myself as well in the process of finding a match!

Easy and Fun

After nine enjoyable two minute conversation with Soulmate, my account was ready to match me with likeminded friends. A very cool system and pleasant AI experience. I can’t wait to see who it finds...Thanks Soulmate!
