Summary

The "AI Online Dating Profile Upgrade" app, developed by online dating coach Greg Schwartz, helps singles enhance their dating profiles by analyzing profile pictures using Clarifai's visual recognition AI, aiming to increase successful matches during peak dating seasons like late December through Valentine's Day. The app identifies common mistakes such as wearing sunglasses, including ex-partners in photos, or showcasing objects instead of oneself, which can negatively impact first impressions and match quality. Built on Ruby on Rails and hosted on Heroku, it offers free analysis and improvement suggestions via email for platforms like Tinder and OkCupid, with plans to expand to Bumble and text analysis in the future. By refining profiles for a broader audience, the app seeks to make online dating more enjoyable and effective, leveraging Clarifai's API to efficiently tag image attributes and enhance user interactions.
