You're not here to swipe. You're here to find your person. Matchmaker AI is the first and most advanced AI-powered matchmaking platform designed exclusively for high quality people seeking serious, long-term relationships. Combining cutting-edge artificial intelligence with the intuition of expert human matchmakers, we deliver a concierge-level experience built around deep compatibility, shared values, and meaningful human connection. You can use our iOS app, or text our SMS number to interact with our matchmaking agent. **Why Matchmaker AI?** **Safety and Transparency** We are the FIRST dating app to require ID verification and background checks for all members. This deters scammers and bad behavior and makes sure all profiles are real. This also means no one lies about their age or height (you're welcome!). **Quality Over Quantity, Always** We hand pick all of our users, and are first app to enforce a $100K minimum income requirement for men. **Know Yourself First** All members undergo personality tests that are proven to predict compatibility. Our AI continuously learns about all members to learn about their life story, past relationships, and what they want. Learning about the person who you're matched with is an in-depth experience that no other app rivals. **No Small Talk or Chitchatting** You don't have to worry about dozens of 'hey hows your day going' messages anymore. Once you match with someone, the AI coordinates the date - whether it's in-person or a phone call. The AI answers all questions and is designed to make the process of making real-world contact easier and frictionless. There is no direct chatting allowed in the app. **No Ghosting Allowed** If a member is taking too much time to get back to you, our AI proactively attempts to reach them in-app and via SMS to understand why. Repeated ghosters get booted. **If it doesn't work out with someone - we got you** No phone numbers are needed to be exchanged for an in-person date. Members leave feedback after the date, and if positive, unlock their phone numbers. If you don't like the person, the AI lets the other person down easy. --- *Authentic connections. Curated matches. No swiping required.* Download Matchmaker AI and meet the person you've actually been looking for.

Real plans. Real people. See where it goes. The Reserv starts with a plan, not a profile. A host books the table, picks the night and opens seats. You request one. The host says yes. You show up. Some plans are social: new friends, people in your field, a group table at a bar you've been meaning to try. Some are dates. Every plan says which, so nobody's guessing. How it works 1. Find a plan. Browse real Austin plans: dinners at restaurants that are actually booked, group tables at bars and clubs, and seats at concerts, games and shows. 2. Request a seat. See who's hosting and who's going, then ask to join. Chat opens once the host accepts, to sort out the night, not to replace it. 3. Show up. Meet at the table. Or host your own. A dinner plan starts with a real reservation that's verified before the plan goes live, so every table on The Reserv exists. Dating, if you want it Dating is opt-in. Turn on "Open to dates" to see date plans from hosts who match what you're looking for, and mark your own plan "Make it a date". Leave it off and The Reserv is all social. Built for Austin first We're starting in Austin. Other cities will follow. Safety and respect You can block or report anyone from their profile in two taps. We review every report, and blocks take effect immediately. You must be 18 or older to use The Reserv. By creating an account you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at thereserv.io.
