Miami-based dating app Ailo is using artificial intelligence to help users find compatible matches through intentional profile building and compatibility thresholds. The app requires at least 70% compatibility before showing potential matches, addressing widespread dating app fatigue as younger generations increasingly abandon traditional swiping platforms.
How it works: Ailo uses AI to create authentic profiles based on a comprehensive assessment rooted in relationship expertise.
- Users complete an initial assessment crafted with “two decades of relationship expertise,” according to founder Haleh Gianni, a professional matchmaker.
- The AI analyzes compatibility across categories including magnetism, attraction, shared thoughts, experiences, and lifestyle preferences.
- Users can only see and match with profiles that meet the 70% compatibility threshold, filtering out potentially incompatible connections.
What they’re saying: Users and the founder emphasize the app’s focus on authentic connections over superficial attraction.
- “Swiping left, swiping right, nothing is ever good,” said 29-year-old user Lesley Reyes. “Dating here in Miami is harder than any other city.”
- “They’ve really formulated around attractiveness and likes and gamified algorithm – you can’t do that with matters of the heart,” Gianni explained about traditional dating apps.
- “There’s just so much research done beforehand that you know whoever you match with is a good match for you,” Reyes added about her Ailo experience.
The bigger picture: Dating app burnout is driving innovation as platforms seek new approaches to matchmaking.
- Millennials were “the first to jump on dating apps and are also the first to get off them,” while Gen Z uses dating apps even less frequently.
- Established platforms like Tinder and Bumble are also incorporating AI features, with Tinder using AI-powered matching and Bumble suggesting profile photos through artificial intelligence.
What’s next: Ailo is expanding rapidly with plans for nationwide coverage by year-end.
- The bilingual app is currently launching in New York City and Los Angeles after its Miami debut.
- The company aims to reach nationwide availability before 2025 concludes.
