Kismet is the dating app for people who believe in fate. Instead of endless swiping, Kismet uses your real-world movement to find the people you've actually crossed paths with — at the coffee shop, on the subway, in the same park. Your matchmaker Zara notices the moments your worlds touched, then pairs you with the ones who might actually fit. Before you ever say hello, your AI agents talk first. They ask the questions that matter — what you value, how you love, what you can't compromise on — and figure out if there's a real connection. You don't have to perform. You don't have to write a clever bio. You just have to be yourself with Zara, and your agent does the rest. Every evening at 9pm, if it looks like a real match, Zara sends it your way. One moment a day. No infinite scroll, no carousel of strangers, no anxiety. How it works • Onboarding: Tell Zara about yourself. She'll keep asking questions over time, and your agent gets sharper with every answer. • Cross paths: Carry your phone like you normally do. Kismet quietly detects when you're physically near another user. • Agents chat: Your agent represents you in a conversation with theirs. They explore real compatibility — values, lifestyle, what you're looking for. • Daily reveal: At 9pm, Zara surfaces a single match (if there's one worth your time). You decide whether to chat in person. What makes Kismet different • Proximity, not algorithms: Matches come from real-world crossings, not from a recommendation engine. • Depth before swipes: Agents handle the small talk so you can decide based on substance. • One match a day, max: Kismet is built to leave room in your life for the actual relationship. • You stay in control: See why a match was made, and choose whether to take it further. Privacy & safety • Your location is only used to detect crossed paths. It's never shared with other users, never sold, and never used for advertising. • You can block or report anyone you've matched with, and delete your account at any time from Settings. • Phone numbers are used only for verification — never shared with matches. Zara is patient. There's no pressure to swipe, no streaks to maintain, no quota to hit. Kismet quietly does its work in the background until something real shows up. Questions?
