Aloha Inc. will begin early access for its AI matching app Feeel on August 25, 2026, with a full release planned for October 1. The app uses an AI pet companion to introduce users based on conversation, hiding photos and profiles until after matching to counter lookism and spec-based selection.
Aloha Inc. is launching early access for Feeel on August 25, with a full release set for October 1. The app's core design removes face photos, age, and income from the initial selection process. Instead, users register a personal AI companion, called a partner, and talk with it about daily life and romance.
The companion learns the user's values and personality from these conversations, then introduces compatible candidates. Introductions come with generated profile text and episode descriptions based on what the companion learned, so users are not judged on self-promotion skills. Photos and detailed profiles unlock gradually after matching, based on conversation volume between the two users.
Feeel also includes secret cards, traits the companion detects from conversation that are only shown when both users share the same card. The company argues that traditional apps, which display photos and criteria first, encourage users to discard potential partners before any conversation happens.
