Bumble doesn’t just help you find a date, it also helps you date.
Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, who recently stepped down as CEO, appeared at the Bloomberg Technology Summit last week and addressed how the dating app will use artificial intelligence.
She revealed that the app uses advanced technology to help swiping singles narrow down their mates and not only improve people’s flirtation, but also do it for them.
“There’s a world where your dating concierge can date another dating concierge for you,” Wolfe Herd said. According to the Independent.

“That way you don’t have to talk to 600 people. It scans all of San Francisco and tells you, ‘These are the three people you really need to meet.’ That’s the power of AI, if harnessed correctly. ”
This new feature could help the wave of singletons reporting dating fatigue, exhausted by the disposable date culture of never-ending encounters.
Earlier this year, Hinge CEO Justin McLeod revealed in the following article: Financial Times interview Dating app fatigue is usually due to one of two reasons.
“One is that you get overwhelmed. There’s so much activity, so many people, and everyone starts to look the same and conversation dies down,” he says. explained.

“At the other end of the spectrum, many users have very little activity. They get burned out trying to get matches, send a lot of likes, but still don’t get enough.” not [reciprocal] Activities to go on one date. ”
Bumble hopes its AI will help address these issues by not only helping users find a better match, but also allowing them to have better conversations when found.
AI could help this increasingly lonely and depressed dating demographic improve their dating game by increasing their confidence and communication skills.
“It’s okay to share your concerns. [with the dating concierge]” explained Wolfe Herd. “‘I just got up from a breakup. I have commitment issues.’ And that might help you develop a better mindset about yourself, so you can communicate better with other people.” It may give you some productive tips to take.
Bumble, which shocked the dating scene by becoming the first app to only allow women to make the first move, is making updates to help daters navigate the seemingly murky dating scene.
The app recently changed things up by allowing women to add prompts to their profiles for men to respond to, updated the “Dating Intent” badge, and encouraged users to include more photos and information.

But leaders of the female-centric dating app believe these changes will allow Bumble to continue, saying, “Instead of denigrating men, we’re always putting women in the driver’s seat and actually empowering all of us.” We recalibrate how we treat each other,” Wolfe Herd said.
“So AI is going to follow the same values. And we’re going to lean fast and furious.”
Bumble’s “AI Dating Concierge” is just one way technology is being used to improve people’s dating lives.
Some are using this technology to help match you with an AI matchmaker, while others are using AI to help match you with an AI girlfriend.
