Jake Kozloski, founder and CEO of Keeper (a new AI marriage site), joins me to explain why he believes modern dating apps are structurally broken—and how AI could radically change the way people find long-term partners. We discuss Hinge’s attempt to acquire Keeper, why the deal fell apart, the incentives keeping users swiping, and what Keeper’s data reveals about attraction, compatibility, sex, and marriage. Jake also breaks down how his AI matchmaking system works, why most dating apps optimize for quantity over quality, and whether technology could eventually become better than humans at finding our ideal partner.
