No swiping involved: the AI dating apps promising to find your soulmate

New AI-powered dating apps like Fate are emerging that use agentic AI (AI systems that can take actions and make decisions autonomously) and LLMs (large language models, the technology behind systems like ChatGPT) to match users based on personality similarity rather than superficial rankings, and some offer AI coaching to help users have better conversations. These startups aim to address problems with existing dating apps that use algorithmic ranking systems like Elo scores (ratings originally designed for chess) and are criticized for profiting by keeping users on the platform longer.
