"The new features include a "dating assistant" AI chatbot that allows users to find compatible matches, as well as a "Meet Cute" feature that automatically pairs them with an algorithmically matched profile once a week, all without users having to swipe a finger. Rather than searching through endless profiles, users can type out exactly what they are looking for in a romantic partner and the assistant will recommend compatible matches."
""The assistant allows users to go beyond traditional traits like height or education," a Meta spokesperson told Fast Company. For example, if a user typed out the prompt: "find me a finance bro who loves puppies and long walks on the beach," in theory, the assistant would pull up a match based on publicly available information drawn from their profile. The AI assistant can also be prompted for dating advice, including effective pickup lines or romantic first date ideas, and will be available in the Matches tab, continuing to roll out "gradually" across the U.S. and Canada, Meta says."
Facebook Dating adds AI features including a dating assistant chatbot and a weekly "Meet Cute" match that pairs users algorithmically without swiping. The assistant lets users describe specific preferences beyond standard profile fields and recommends matches using publicly available profile information. Users can also ask the assistant for dating advice such as pickup lines or first-date ideas. The feature is rolling out gradually across the U.S. and Canada and is intended to address reported swipe fatigue and dating app burnout. A recent study found over a quarter of singles use AI wingmen, up 333% from 2024, and surveys report 78% of users feel exhausted by dating apps.
