Grindr ’s AI wingman is currently in beta testing with around 10,000 users.

CEO George Arison sees the addition of a generative AI assistant and machine intelligence tools as an opportunity for expansion.

Grindr CEO: “This is not just a hookup product anymore.” It's all part of a barrage of AI features being added by developers to most dating apps.

Grindr 's new AI assistant is scheduled to have a complete rollout until 2027 .

Users will be presented with the option to allow their data to be used to train the company’s AI tools.

Some users will be uncomfortable with an AI model reading their private chats to learn more about them, choosing to avoid those features.
