Tinder Launches AI-Powered 'The Game Game' for Flirting Practice

The feature, available for U.S. iOS users, uses voice interactions with AI personas to simulate rom-com scenarios and encourage real-life connections.

Tinder's 'The Game Game' allows users to practice flirting through voice-based interactions with AI personas in playful, exaggerated scenarios.
The feature leverages OpenAI's GPT-4o and speech-to-speech AI technology to provide real-time feedback on conversational skills like warmth and curiosity.
Tinder emphasizes that the tool is a lighthearted, judgment-free experience meant to encourage real-life conversations, not replace human interactions.
The game includes safeguards to ensure appropriate interactions and assures users that voice data will not be used to train AI models.
This initiative is part of Tinder's broader strategy to integrate AI features and attract younger users, addressing dating app fatigue and declining growth.
