THE SWIFT CLUB: THE OFFLINE DATING APP The Swift Club is a private, members-only dating community. Membership is by application or referral. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and every member is verified before joining. Swift is designed to make the path from matching to meeting simple. Messaging is limited to keep conversations moving, while integrated date planning makes it easy to choose a time and place and confirm plans directly in the app. In-app confirmations, updates, and date check-ins keep plans on track and the back-and-forth to a minimum. Swift handles the details, keeping the focus where it should be — in person. Swift is currently available in New York, Southern California, Miami, the Bay Area, and Austin, with new cities coming soon.

DateBot is AI for your dating life. Modern dating is messy. Dating apps. Mixed signals. Situationships. Your ex texting like nothing happened. DateBot helps you figure out what’s going on, what to do next, and what to say. It gets to know you, the people you’re talking to, and what’s happened between you. What you want matters. So does what they did last time. Send a screenshot. Ask about a text. Tell it how the date went. FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON Is that a red flag, or are you overthinking it? They say they want to see you, but you’re always making the plans. They’re a dry texter, but they keep showing up. Your ex wants another chance. Has anything actually changed? DateBot looks at the messages, the effort, and what’s happened before. It helps you spot mixed signals, notice when someone’s words don’t match their actions, and see when things might be going better than you think. If it needs to know more, it’ll ask you. ADVICE THAT GETS YOU Looking for a relationship? Keeping it casual? Still figuring it out? DateBot gets to know what you want, how you handle things, and where you tend to get stuck. Maybe you give people too many chances. Maybe you talk yourself out of making a move. Maybe you keep ending up in the same kind of situation. DateBot helps you notice those patterns and figure out what to do about them. IT REMEMBERS THE PEOPLE The person from the dating app. The one you’ve been seeing for months. The ex you said you were done with. DateBot remembers what you’ve told it about them and what’s happened so far. The dates. The canceled plans. The mixed signals. The things you’re still trying to figure out. Come back after the date, when they finally reply, or when they pop back up out of nowhere. Pick up where you left off. KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT DateBot will tell you straight. Sometimes you need a push to ask them out. Sometimes you need to clear things up. Sometimes you need to hear “do not text your ex.” It can point out when you’re doing all the work, when you might be making excuses for someone, or when it’s time to stop overthinking and go for it. AND WHAT TO SAY New to dating? Not great at texting? Staring at their message with no idea what to say? DateBot can help with that too. Get help starting a conversation on a dating app, replying to a DM, flirting, asking someone out, or saying something that’s hard to say. It helps you find words that sound like you and fit what’s going on between you. From the first match to “what are we?” and everything after. New person. New message. New date. Same DateBot.
