SciMatch: AI Dating Matchmaker 17+

it actually “got” me

I’ve tried a lot of dating apps, but scimatch is something else. From the start, it felt like actually “got” me. The matches aren’t just random; they feel real, they really seem to fit my personality and I connected with someone amazing within few weeks. I also really like that with scimatch, I can start chatting with people who are already a good match for me, without the whole waiting-for-a-like thing. And the concept of finding someone who resembles my ‘face mate’ is seriously impressive. If you’re over the usual swiping, give it a shot.

Absolute nonsense

The ai is effectively built to “cold read” people and it got me completely wrong. I went through a few profiles - there were literally 4 in my area because I’m currently in the middle of nowhere. Then I chose to expand my range a bit, immediately was presented with an obvious model, definitely a planted highly attractive profile to inspire people to purchase subscriptions. A lot of dating apps do this and it’s such a manipulative business tactic.

There’s an option to have the ai determine how compatible you are. I ran it with the model. Her pictures are of her on private jets, boating in expensive bikinis, has facial work, works out at equinox. The ai said “you are only 41% compatible because she will not understand your idealism and superficial needs, and you will not accept her love of freedom” …this couldn’t be more off base and had me rolling my eyes.

Cool idea I guess but people with any depth can’t be judged by an algorithm reading their photos. I can do far better with intuition and observation, ai doesn’t even come close to accurate.

Dear Franke,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences with SciMatch. I sincerely apologize that the AI didn't meet your expectations.

While our AI strives for a high accuracy rate, I understand that it can sometimes miss the mark. We're constantly working to improve the accuracy and relevance of our AI's predictions, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us do so.

Regarding the profiles you encountered, I want to assure you that we do not plant profiles to encourage subscriptions. We are committed to ensuring a fair and authentic experience for our users.
 
Your intuition and observation are invaluable in dating, and while AI can provide meaningful insights, it should serve as a tool to enhance your own judgment, much like having a panel of relationship psychologists offering their advice.

If you're open to it, I'd love to discuss your experience further and see how we can improve. Please feel free to reach out directly at info@scimatch.com if you'd like to continue this conversation or if there's anything else we can do for you.

Thank you again for your honesty. We're here to listen and learn.

Best regards,
Yanina
CEO & Co-Founder, SciMatch

This app is buggy and won’t allow me to delete my account

The app tried to describe my personality based on my photo, but it was way, way off. I hit the “not accurate” button and it still proceeded to try to match me based on what it thought was my personality.

I didn’t find anyone who had a bio or any information other than a head shot, which is not enough to determine what someone looks like. And of course the matches were useless because they were based on personality traits I don’t have. But you can’t remove anyone from your list of matches so you have to keep looking at the same people you’re not interested in.

So I go to delete my account and every single time it give me an error message and tells me to log out and back in, which didn’t help. Then a link pops up to send me an email, but this results in another error message because I’m already logged in. I’m confounded by the positive reviews because the app is garbage from a technical standpoint and doesn’t even work as intended.

Hi Agabar, 

I'm genuinely sorry to hear about your experience with our app. Our goal with the algorithm has always been to provide accurate personality descriptions, and while the majority of our users resonate with their descriptions, we acknowledge that it's not perfect and mistakes can happen. Additionally, self-reflection and perceptions vary greatly among individuals.

Even if you felt the personality assessment wasn't accurate for you, the app still offers conventional dating features. Like many dating apps, we match based on likes and preferences. We offer unlimited unlikes and seeing who likes you feature for free. You can engage in speed dating games, and even have a chance to find someone resembling your favorite celebrity.

Regarding the issues you faced with account deletion, I apologize for the inconvenience. To ensure security, we do require a login for account authentication before deletion. If you're still facing difficulties, please reach out to us directly at info@scimatch.com - we're here to assist you.

I sincerely hope you consider giving us another chance as we continuously strive to improve. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we're committed to enhancing both our technical functionality and user experience.
