SAN FRANCISCO — Artificial intelligence is moving into the dating world, with Bumble announcing a new tool designed to help users find matches more effectively.<\/p>\n

The company said it is introducing an AI assistant called Bee as part of its matchmaking process. Bumble said the feature aims to give users a more personal way to connect on the platform.<\/p>\n

The company has also announced it will remove the swipe — a key feature of the app for users to express interest in potential matches. Swiping right meant you were interested and left meant you were not.<\/p>\n

If two users swiped right on each other, they were matched and could start a conversation.<\/p>\n

The company has opted to phase out the swipe function in favor of AI-driven matchmaking that the company says will more effectively match potential members.<\/p>\n

With the update, members will be able to share more detailed information about themselves beyond basic profile details.<\/p>\n

The company said that additional information will allow the AI assistant to suggest matches more closely aligned with users’ hobbies and interests.<\/p>\n

The update also includes a notable shift in how conversations start on the platform. Women will no longer be required to send the first message, marking a change from Bumble’s previous format.<\/p>\n

The company said the additions reflect an effort to evolve the app’s approach to helping people connect.<\/p>\n
