SmallTalks was born from my personal experience dating in NYC, where I struggled with the apps for quite a while before eventually figuring things out.

Initially, this app is focused on helping people build high performing Hinge and Bumble profiles by combining AI and human expertise, along with empirical data from content experiments.

Most online daters are not strategic about designing their Hinge or Bumble profiles but it's actually immensely important to be intentional about that process. Online dating is a power law distribution as far as matching goes (a small percentage of profiles attract an outsized amount of attention), so it's critical that you optimize your profile to fit your relationship goals.

If you sign up and go through the quick onboarding process, we'll review your existing dating profile for free using the same kind of general thought process as displayed here:

Combining AI and human expertise sounds like a robust approach. How do you balance the algorithmic recommendations with more 'human' relationship nuances?


Great question! Presently the AI is primarily used as a tool for our human experts and end users to generate ideas for prompt responses, captions, etc. It’s not meant to be entirely self deterministic but it’s quite useful practically speaking.
