AI dating app avoids robotic tone with specific extraction and negative constraints

A developer created an AI dating app called hintder that generates opening messages based on screenshots of dating profiles. The core challenge was not the AI itself, but ensuring the generated messages sounded human and not robotic. This was achieved by separating the process into two stages: first, using a vision model to extract specific, actionable details from the profile, and second, using an LLM to craft openers based on these details while adhering to strict negative constraints to avoid common AI tells like em-dashes or overly generic phrases. The app also addresses the crucial second message in a conversation to improve user retention. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates how to overcome common AI output tells, potentially improving user experience in AI-generated content applications.
