FORBES – Feb 10 – Dating apps are already exploring the ways in which AI can help with revenue generation. AI can assist users in making decisions in their real-world relationship, based on their interactions on dating apps. AI can suggest gifts users can purchase, and companies like Uncommon Goods are already implementing these types of tools. AI can also suggest activities for the dating user to help them engage with their partner. Dating apps can partner up with third-party apps in order to generate additional revenue and aid in each other's growth. Loveflutter, a British dating app, analyzes chats to establish the inherent compatibility of two users before offering places to meet. It can suggest relevant meeting places. Such suggestions can be redirected to custom-apps of the restaurants or restaurant aggregator apps, like Uber Eats or Grubhub.

Dating App LoveFlutter Hits the Deadpool
OPW – Mar 20 – It looks like the end has come for LoveFlutter, the "Twitter dating" app. LoveFlutter first launched in 2013 as a dating app powered by Google's Knowledge Graph, and used Foursquare to suggest ideas for first dates. The app relaunched in 2017 and implemented Twitter feed into users' profiles. "Your tweets say a lot about your personality and therefore are good online dating fodder," said Loveflutter co-founder Daigo Smith back in May 2017. Last year, the app was found on sale on Flippa for $150K. The LoveFlutter.com website is now down and the app is no longer available in the app stores.
What Will Online Dating Be Like in 2030?
MASHABLE – Feb 14 – Online dating isn't going away any time soon. If anything, it's likely to become further integrated into even more people's lives. "Online daters are exhausted," said Dawoon Kang, co-founder and co-CEO of Coffee Meets Bagel. "Machine-learning and AI may be able to help. People, a lot of times, don't know what they want. Better machine-learning could tailor your matches to your actions, rather than your stated desires", Kang said. Loveflutter, a UK dating app, has AI that matches people based on personality traits it decodes from their tweets. It also plans to use AI to coach users through meeting offline after analyzing their chats. Jean Meyer, the founder and CEO of European dating app Once, doesn't think the dating industry will crack the AI code. "The optimum for a dating service is to show you profiles of people that might be good enough, but not perfection," Meyer said. Pheramor, DNA Romance, and Instant Chemistry all analyze users' DNA to make matches. Video will play a larger role in dating apps, execs said, but how, exactly, is still unclear. Virtual reality in dating apps will also take cultural change.

Dating Apps Turn to AI to Help Users Find Love
AGENCE PRESSE-FRANCE – Nov 9 – The online dating sector is turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to help arrange meetings in real life and act as a dating coach. These new uses for AI – the science of programming computers to reproduce human processes like thinking and decision making – by dating apps were highlighted at Web Summit in Lisbon. eHarmony is developing an AI-enabled feature which would nudge users to suggest meeting in person after they have been chatting in the app for a while. "There is a lot of activity on dating apps but by and large there is not a lot of dates," said eHarmony CEO Grant Langston. "Guys don't know how to ask. It's astounding really how many people need help and we think we can do that in an automated way." British dating app Loveflutter plans to use AI to analyse chats between its users to determine their compatibility and suggest when they should meet. "We will ping a message saying 'You are getting along really well, why don't you go on your first date'," said Loveflutter co-founder Daigo Smith. Tinder founder Sean Rad said AI would "create better user experiences" and predicted iPhone's Siri voice assistant would in the future act as a matchmaker. An entirely voice-operated dating app called AIMM which uses AI to mirror a human matchmaking service is already being tested in Denver where it has ~1K users. Badoo is now using AI and facial recognition technology to let users find a match that looks like anyone at all, including their ex or a celebrity crush.

Loveflutter Thinks Tweets Are the Key To Perfect Match
MOTHERBOARD – June 21 – Originally founded in 2013, London-based dating app Loveflutter was relaunched in May this year after formally partnering up with Twitter. "Tweets show the real you," said cofounder Daigo Smith. The idea first came to him after reading material by language scientists, claiming that there is a direct relationship between tweets and users' personalities. "By the end of 2017, we'll be implementing an LSM [Language Style Matching] compatibility score which shows compatibility based on users' writing styles," said Smith.
Dating Via Twitter
WASHINGTON POST – May 26 – Twitter doesn't bill itself as a dating service or even a place to meet people. Since its founding in 2006, however, it has emerged as an unlikely matchmaker for singles who share highly specific interests, made searchable using hashtags. The hashtag #WeMetOnTwitter, which has been used in ~500 Twitter posts suggests there are many couples who found lasting romantic partnerships on Twitter. UK dating app Loveflutter works just like Tinder but displays users' Twitter-like bios, which must be 140 characters or less. It has recently launched a feature that embeds users' 10 most recent tweets into their profiles.
