Meta announced on September 22, 2025, the introduction of several AI features to its Facebook Dating service in an effort to combat "swipe fatigue." The main new feature is a "dating assistant," a chatbot that helps users find partners using natural language queries (e.g., "find me a girl from Brooklyn who works in IT"), going beyond standard filters. The assistant can also offer tips for improving ones profile. The second feature, "Meet Cute," is a weekly "surprise match"—an algorithm suggests one unexpected but potentially compatible partner to the user to diversify their search. These tools, which have begun rolling out in the U.S. and Canada, are Metas response to a general trend in the dating industry, where Tinder and other major players are also actively implementing AI to enhance the user experience.
