On the other hand, Sitch offers an AI chatbot experience where users answer questions about their interests, values, and backgrounds, and the AI suggests potential matches. Amori, a dating advice app, plans to introduce a similar feature. However, professional matchmaker Nick Rosen expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of these apps, arguing that friends and family might not fully understand a person's romantic history and needs. He suggests that professional matchmakers should adapt to the changing times by developing their own apps.
