TECH IN ASIA - Grindr has partnered with AWS and Anthropic to power its new AI-driven "A-List" feature. The feature, designed to help users reconnect with past matches and surface new ones via curated lists and chat summaries, will launch to 25% of Grindr Unlimited users by the end of April. CEO George Arison cited privacy, flexibility, and cost efficiency as key drivers for the shift, noting a 50% drop in per-user AI costs in four months. The move marks a broader industry pivot from geolocation-based matching to AI-driven personalization, as dating apps seek to improve engagement and retention. However, user skepticism remains high, with only 10% believing AI will improve dating outcomes, underscoring the tension between innovation and authenticity in modern matchmaking.
