If you’ve ever stared blankly at your Hinge profile, unsure of what witty, charming prompt answer will entice the most compatible matches, this new Hinge feature is for you.
The dating app announced on Wednesday that it’s introducing a new prompt feedback tool that uses AI to help you refine and bolster your profile. It’s available now for English-speaking users.
The new AI feature pushes you to write more detailed answers and avoid common or boring responses. It gives you different levels of guidance depending on your answer, suggesting small tweaks or bigger changes. The AI isn’t entirely rewriting your answers. Instead, it can suggest changes, give you ideas for other details to include or guide you away from clichéd responses.
The goal is for the AI tool to inspire you to dig deeper and spark more interesting conversations with matches.

While you don’t have to do anything with the feedback Hinge gives you, you also won’t be able to turn the feature off. Hinge confirmed that the feature is powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4o mini model.
“The feature is instructed to evaluate a dater’s profile answers to help ensure that their answers are personal, specific, and authentic,” a Hinge spokesperson said. The company uses its own research and data as part of the instruction it gives the AI model.
This new feature marks Hinge’s first stab at AI-powered coaching, an area that online dating apps have been moving into over the past year. So far, most of the AI innovation has been around bolstering security, but Hinge’s prompt feedback feature and Tinder’s photo selector tool show progress in integrating other forms of AI beyond their matching algorithms.
