With dating app fatigue on the rise, a Chinese matchmaking startup has come up with a unique business model to keep users interested. Liangpei AI, which charges users an annual membership of Rs 28,155 (2,000 yuan), is promising a full refund if the user does not get married within three years. To ensure that connections last, the app limits users to one-on-one matches, unlike traditional apps that encourage users to chat with several people at once.<\/p>\n
Founded by\u00a0Zeng Xinxun, former head of AI search technology at Moonshot AI (Kimi), Liangpei is an AI matchmaking application where users complete a 20-minute AI chat to build their profile. Once complete, the profile contains details on family background, education, career, interests, personality, lifestyle and expectations of a partner.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne-on-one allows both parties to invest more focus and effort into building a relationship,\u201d Zeng was quoted as saying by Sixth Tone.<\/a> \u201cEven if it doesn’t work out, it’s a conclusion reached after genuine communication.\u201d<\/p>\n The app also features an \u201cAI Strategist\u201d that assesses relationship issues using user profiles and chat logs. According to a report in South China Morning Post<\/a>, Liangpei AI has more than 35,000 registered users, a conversion rate of about 9 per cent and Rs 21.11 crore (15 million yuan) in angel funding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
