Built on research about how people connect
In speed dating, people who asked more follow-up questions got more second-date yeses.
Huang et al. (2017), Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
After a first conversation, people underestimate how much the other person liked them.
Boothby et al. (2018), Psychological Science
Deeper conversations with strangers go better, and feel less awkward, than people expect.
Kardas et al. (2022), Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
Every lesson lists its studies. Research describes what tends to happen on average, not how any one date goes.
How it works
- 1
Learn one move
A two-minute lesson on one thing research links to liking and connection, like asking follow-up questions or going one level deeper.
- 2
Practice it out loud
Your AI date warms up when you get it right and cools off when it feels like an interview. Type it instead whenever you can’t talk.
- 3
Get feedback, keep going
One tip on that move, quoted from what you said. Do it well and the next level opens, with a date who gives you less. Weak spots come back for review.

From the first hello to the dates after
Each lesson ends in its own practice scene, and every scene has three levels. Your date gets harder to read as you go, so there’s always a next rep. Tell your coach what you struggle with, and it points you to the lesson that covers it.
- BeginnerYour date is warm and gives you openings. Learn the move.
- IntermediateYour date is friendly but gives less, so you carry more of it.
- AdvancedYour date starts guarded and throws a curveball. Do the move under pressure.

Questions
Is it a real person?
No. Your partner is an AI voice playing your date. It reacts the way a person would, but nobody else hears you, and it never pretends to be a real match.
Is this a dating app?
No. There are no profiles and no matches. It’s practice, so the real date goes better.
Can I try it first?
Yes. Lesson 1 is free, with no account and no card: read the move, answer your date’s first line, and get a tip on what you said.
What do I get?
Lessons from the first hello to second dates and beyond, each practiced at beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. 13 practice scenes, 90 voice minutes a month in scenes of up to 4 minutes, typed practice any time, feedback after every scene, and an AI coach you can tell what you struggle with.
What happens when I finish?
You keep going. Each lesson has three levels, and each level up gives you a date who’s harder to read. Moves that slipped come back for review, and with the AI date on, no two scenes play out the same way.
Is it really based on research?
Each lesson starts from published studies on conversation and closeness, like the research on follow-up questions and on how much people like us after we talk, and lists its sources. The few lessons that are coaching practice instead say so. Research shows what tends to help on average, not a promise about any one date.
How much is it?
$19.99 a month, or $99.99 a year, which works out to $8.33 a month. It renews automatically until you cancel.
How do I cancel?
One tap in Account settings, or from the link in your receipt email. No email or call needed. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
Can I get a refund?
Plans aren’t refundable. You can turn off auto-renewal in one tap any time, and you keep access until the period you paid for ends. If we ever charge you by mistake, we refund it.
Do you keep my audio?
No. Audio streams to our voice provider during the scene and isn’t saved by DateReps.
Every first date has an awkward minute. Have yours here, where it doesn’t count.
