Link: Grindr is testing an AI "wingman" that would let users track conversations with their "favorite" users, recommend long-term relationship candidates, and more (Belle Lin/Wall Street Journal)
According to market research firm Gartner, mainstream integration of AI agents in businesses is about a decade away.
Dating apps like Bumble, Tinder, and Hinge are implementing AI to enhance user interactions but have not fully committed to autonomous AI agents for activities like setting dates.
Grindr is developing an AI wingman that assists users in managing interactions and suggesting date spots, with plans to achieve more complex tasks such as making restaurant reservations.
Chief Executive George Arison of Grindr highlighted the importance of preserving user privacy, especially for users in regions where expressing their sexuality is hazardous.
An AI model trained on romantic dialogues by Ex-human has been adapted by Grindr to better reflect the queer community's language and needs.
While exploring the capabilities of chatbots and AI agents, Grindr is focused on enhancing user experience and addressing issues like loneliness within the LGBTQ community through its AI wingman. #
