AILO is built to replace swiping with the science of compatibility - through intentional matching, and as a standalone compatibility tool with someone of your choosing. Instead of relying on surface-level preferences, compatibility is evaluated across multiple pillars, including Spark, Connection, Comfort, Perception, Objectives, and Timing, offering a structured and interpretive view of relational alignment. AILO uses proprietary assessment technology to recognize natural dispositions, innate motivations, and communication styles. The assessment results are integrated with AI to generate a personalized Profile Preview, Personal, and Insights, highlighting core areas of authentic self-expression and relational needs. Backed by more than 20 years of integrated and practical relationship science, AILO addresses a central challenge in modern dating: the illusion of choice. Rather than presenting thousands of profiles, AILO prioritizes matches that meet higher compatibility thresholds, designed to support more complementary and aligned connections. Core Components - Proprietary compatibility assessment - AI-generated Profile Preview & Insights - Personal Analysis for each user - A more detailed compatibility analysis across every pillar - In Real Life - personalized Dynamics & Tips for each match, showing how your compatibility unfolds day to day - Only Matches with 70%+ Overall Score presented to each other. - Match Lounge for intentional connection - In-app chat - AILO Duo, a standalone compatibility analysis for two people Access & Features AILO is free to download. Free users can complete the assessment, view a Profile Preview, access selected Personal and Insights features, and explore a Sample Match Lounge experience. Full access to AILO's matching features and tools is available through AILO Unlimited, which requires an in-app application, approval, and a one-time payment. AILO Duo - Standalone Compatibility AILO also offers AILO Duo, a standalone feature available to all users with an AILO profile. Generate a code, share it with someone of your choosing, and both participants receive a detailed compatibility analysis. AILO Duo can be used independently of matching, with access available per report or through monthly Duo access included with AILO Unlimited. Availability AILO is a bilingual app, available in English and Spanish. Matching is currently available through AILO Unlimited in South Florida. AILO Duo is available nationwide. Join the Priority Launch List inside the app as AILO expands to new regions.

About

1% IRL

Read full description

1% IRL is a pre-event social-connection app for people who want fewer introductions, but better ones. Built for curated dinners, members-only nights, founder gatherings, and the kind of events where the room matters as much as the agenda. You register, get cleared from the waitlist, and walk into the venue already knowing who's worth a second drink. THE ROOM BEFORE THE ROOM Once you're cleared for an event, you see the other cleared attendees. Read their bios, their vibes, the things they're into. Send a Signal — a low-pressure intro — to anyone you'd actually like to meet. They accept. You arrive at the venue with a handful of people already expecting you. LOCK-IN: PROOF OF MEETING When you and another attendee actually meet at the event, you both enter each other's 4-digit PIN to "Lock In" the connection. It's a small ritual that confirms a real-world introduction happened — and earns you IRL Keys you can redeem at future events. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT You don't browse strangers in your area. You connect with people already confirmed for the same event. You don't pay to slide into someone's DMs. You pay (with attention, time, and a Lock-In) to be in the room. You don't accumulate matches. You accumulate real introductions. WHAT'S IN v1.0 Curated event browsing and registration Pre-event Signal flow with verified, cleared attendees Vibe-tag matching surfaced as AI recommendations In-venue check-in with location verification Lock-In ritual to confirm real-world meetings IRL Keys reward ledger Encrypted messaging unlocks in v1.1 (after your first Lock-In) WHO IT'S FOR Founders, operators, creatives, and anyone tired of meeting "online" before meeting in person. If you've ever shown up to an event not knowing who else would be there — and wished you could fix that 24 hours before the door opened — 1% IRL is the app. Membership is invite-led. We grow by attendance, not by acquisition. Questions, feedback, or partnership inquiries: hello@onepercentirl.app
