Amata replaces swiping with an AI matchmaker that actually gets to know you through conversation. It learns your preferences, personality, and dealbreakers, then introduces you to people it thinks you'll genuinely click with. When there's a match, the app books a date at a vetted restaurant — no texting back and forth, no ghosting. You just show up.
How it works
Download the app and start a conversation with your AI matchmaker. It asks about your lifestyle, values, what you're looking for, and what you're not — building a real picture of who you are beyond a photo grid. When the AI finds someone it thinks is a strong fit, it introduces you both. If you're both interested, Amata handles the logistics: it checks your availability and books a table at a curated restaurant. You show up, have the date, and then debrief with your AI afterward. Every piece of feedback sharpens future matches.
Who it's for
People who are tired of swiping and want someone else to do the filtering. Singles who value intentionality and would rather have fewer, higher-quality introductions. Anyone who's busy enough that having an AI book the restaurant and coordinate schedules sounds like a dream. People in NYC, Sydney, or Melbourne looking for something more curated than the usual dating app grind.
What works
The AI matchmaker learns from every conversation and date, getting smarter over time. Eliminates the worst parts of dating apps: swiping, small talk, and ghosting. Handles all the logistics — availability, restaurant booking, everything. Feels more like being set up by a friend than using an app. Focus on intentional dating filters out people who aren't serious.
What doesn't
iOS only — no Android or web app yet. Limited to NYC, Sydney, and Melbourne for now. Relies heavily on AI judgment, which won't always get it right. Small user base compared to mainstream dating apps means fewer potential matches.
Søren's Take
Amata is doing something genuinely different in a space that badly needs it. Instead of handing you a deck of profiles to swipe through, it acts like a matchmaker who actually listens. The AI conversation approach is smarter than a personality quiz — it picks up on nuance. The fact that it books the date for you removes so much friction. The catch is availability: with only three cities and an iOS-only app, your dating pool is limited. But if you're in one of those cities and you're done with swipe culture, Amata is worth trying.
