Overview
- When a user likes a profile, the feature surfaces three tailored tips beneath each photo and prompt to inspire a first message.
- Settings allow the tool to be toggled on or off, and Hinge says it does not generate copy‑and‑paste replies so messages stay in the user’s voice.
- Hinge cites internal data showing 72% of daters are more receptive when a like includes a message and that comments double the likelihood of arranging a date.
- Convo Starters is available in the United States now and draws on generative AI plus input from Hinge researchers and behavioral scientists.
- The launch aligns with Match Group’s $20–30 million AI push and industry moves by Bumble and Tinder, even as surveys report greater Gen Z discomfort with AI in dating.
