By blending emotional AI with user preferences and geolocation, happn helps singles plan their ideal first date with personalized, real-world suggestions.
Mumbai, June 25, 2025: happn, the real-life dating app, has introduced Perfect Date, an AI-powered feature designed to help singles effortlessly plan their first meet-up. Using emotional AI and large language models (LLMs), Perfect Date analyzes user habits, interests, favorite places, and real-time geolocation to recommend tailored date venues that suit both individuals.
The launch responds to a major pain point in modern dating—planning the perfect date. According to happn, 69% of singles find it difficult to pick the right spot, with 35% calling it extremely stressful. As singles increasingly turn to AI tools, happn’s new feature arrives at the perfect moment. Once two users start a conversation and define a geographic zone, Perfect Date suggests up to five venues based on shared interests like culture, food, nightlife, and more.
Unlike basic AI suggestions, the tool uses contextual compatibility, going beyond preferences to understand the full “vibe” of each user—through hobbies, Teasers, and profile data. The goal: personalized suggestions, not generic lists. While the AI provides smart venue ideas, the final decision always stays with the users, maintaining happn’s low-pressure, user-first approach.
Ethical by design, Perfect Date activates only when prompted by the user, preserving privacy and offering a companion-like experience. It is transparent, non-intrusive, and emotionally intelligent—showcasing happn’s commitment to authentic, real-life connections.Karima Ben Abdelmalek, CEO & President of happn, said:”The perfect first date spot can make all the difference. Today’s singles want something authentic, relaxed, and true to who they are. Perfect Date combines smart technology with human understanding to deliver that. We’re redefining what it means to connect—with less pressure, more meaning, and a whole lot more ease.”By prioritizing intuition, emotional insight, and shared experiences, Perfect Date affirms happn’s position as a leader in using AI to enhance—not replace—genuine human connections.
