Dating App Hily - One of the Fastest Growing Dating App
IRISH TECH NEWS - Mar 27 - Within just 1.5 years after the launch, Hily's team got the app to the top in its category on Apple Store, getting more daily downloads than Bumble in the US and Tinder in the UK. Hily's developers are paying attention to their users' opinions, allowing them to take part in the app development. Hily is very similar to any other dating app out there; however, taking a closer look, you will see plenty of things that make it stand out among its competitors:
- All users are verified by moderators
- Apart from swiping, users can also watch stories.
- The app offers icebreakers to make the start of the conversation easier.
The unique feature of the app is the usage of artificial intelligence. The machine analyses users, likes, matches, and dialogues to create a personalized and best-matching set of potential partners. The more the users swipe, the smarter the machine gets, and the higher are their chances to find someone.
Hily is now planning to launch in Australia, New Zealand, France, and others. This takes a lot of time and effort. At the same time, we are working on the app a lot – adapting it to new countries, making it more inclusive and user-friendly. Very soon we are also planning to make it compatible with different gadgets like smart watches for example.

How A Matchmaking AI Conquered And Was Exiled From Tinder
MOTHERBOARD - Nov 7 - Bernie was the latest technological development in boosting human connection, until the AI-enhanced app was kicked off Tinder. It all started in a bar in 2014. Weary of watching his friends spend their nights swiping left or right on dating apps like Tinder, Justin Long of Vancouver decided to automate the process. He developed Tinderbox that used simple facial recognition software to find a match and craft an introductory message. By 2016, he launched Bernie AI to the public, an improved version of Tinderbox named after a friend who died in 2009. Bernie abruptly shut down in June. Tinder simply decided they didn't want Bernie around anymore. The app used artificial intelligence, deep learning technology, and more advanced facial recognition than its Tinderbox predecessor. It eventually learned to identify other objects in the photo aside from the person's face and could develop introductions based on those objects. While Bernie may have shut down, other apps have stepped into the void. Hily takes a slightly different approach in that it disregards visual attractiveness as the basis of its search and instead looks for similar interests, word choice, and mutual likes. It had ~35k users in a closed beta earlier this month.
