The world is home to 7.8 billion people. Roughly one in 14 of these people (530 million) are on Tinder. Badoo, the second most popular dating app, has ‘only’ 318 million users. Tinder is the most popular dating app in the world, by far.
Now, though, a new challenger appears to be emerging. Unlike Badoo and other less robust dating apps, all of whom try to offer a variation of what Tinder provides, this competitor offers something completely different. You see, this new dating app, a next generation dating app, plans to inject artificial intelligence into matchmaking.
Boasting a punchy tagline, ‘less talk, more action,’ Teaser AI, due to be released this month, will allow users to chat with an AI bot designed to replicate their prospective match before actually conversing with the real person. So far, so sci-fi. So does Teaser AI have any real hope of succeeding?
There is already an app called Replika that offers romantic companionship to users via AI chatbots.
