Overview

• Facebook Dating began a gradual rollout in the US and Canada of an in-app chatbot designed to surface matches and suggest date ideas.
• Users can type specific prompts and access the assistant in the Matches tab to refine searches or improve their profiles.
• Meta says the assistant is powered by its Llama models and bases recommendations solely on publicly available profile fields, not inferred data.
• A new Meet Cute feature delivers one algorithmic match each week with an opt-out, and Meta is exploring other cadences.
• The update targets young adults with no paywall, as Meta cites a 10% rise in matches and plans a State Fair of Texas promotion in October.
