In the movie *Her*, Joaquin Phoenix plays a heartbroken writer who falls for his virtual assistant.

While an AI-powered partner may feel a tad futuristic, the technology may play a critical role in the future of love very soon.

Tidio, a customer service platform, [surveyed](https://www.tidio.com/blog/ai-dating-apps/) ~1.2k people and uncovered a treasure-trove of data about how they see AI fitting into their love lives.

#### **The verdict?**

People want AI’s help. Around 63% of single respondents said they would use an AI-powered dating app to find a partner.

Some of the most popular use cases for the technology include:

- **In-app chat:** 56% would like AI to offer recommendations for in-app messaging (e.g., replies, new topics, general direction of conversation)
- **Profile improvement:** 69% would let AI analyze their profile and offer recommendations to make it more attractive

#### **But people don’t trust AI with everything**

Some of the areas where most people draw the line include:

- **DNA sharing: **Only 13% would share their DNA to help find the perfect partner
- **Breakups:** Only 7% would end a relationship if AI recommended it

But the promise of a perfect partner carries serious weight.

While most respondents originally said they wouldn’t share personal information, **70%** said they would change their mind if it meant finding the perfect match.

#### **And virtual partners…**

… may not be as far off as they seem. Though 52% of respondents would prefer a real-life partner, interest in the virtual variety are gaining steam:

- 31% believe a perfect virtual partner sounds great
- 16% want both a virtual and real-life partner

The takeaway? Soon enough, watching *Her* might not feel so futuristic.
