General Questions
1. What exactly does Matchcraft AI do?
We're a strategy firm built exclusively for dating and matchmaking businesses. We use AI to redesign how your platform matches, converses, and converts members — so the goal shifts from more swiping to more real dates.
- Dating-Industry Focus
- AI + Strategy Combined
- Hands-On Implementation
2. Who do you typically work with?
We work with stagnating dating platforms looking to reignite growth, niche and regional dating startups entering a crowded market, and offline matchmaking agencies looking to add AI without losing their personal touch.

- AI + Strategy Combined
- Hands-On Implementation
3. Do you work with early-stage startups or only established platforms?
Both. Startups get an AI Strategy Roadmap built before they write a line of code, so AI is core to the product from day one. Established platforms typically start with a Date Conversion Audit to find out exactly where AI can move the needle.

4. How long does a typical engagement take?
A Date Conversion Audit usually takes two to three weeks. A full AI Strategy Roadmap and business model redesign typically runs six to ten weeks, depending on the complexity of your platform. Ongoing advisory continues on a quarterly basis.

5. Do you build the AI, or just recommend it?
We're a strategy partner, not a dev shop. We define the spec, select the right AI and matching-engine vendors, and coordinate the build — but the actual implementation is done by your team or a technical partner we help you choose.

Pricing Package
1. How is your pricing structured?
We offer fixed-fee engagements for the Date Conversion Audit and AI Strategy Roadmap, project-based pricing for business model redesign and implementation support, and a monthly retainer for ongoing advisory.
- Flexible Engagement Models
- Transparent Pricing
- No Hidden Fees
2. What's included in the Date Conversion Audit?
A full funnel and drop-off analysis, a matching quality review, benchmarking of your conversation-to-date rate, and a scored diagnostic report with a prioritized list of where AI can have the biggest impact.
- Flexible Engagement Models
- Transparent Pricing
- No Hidden Fees
3. Are there any setup or hidden fees?
No. Every engagement starts with a fixed quote covering scope, deliverables, and timeline, agreed before we begin. If scope changes mid-engagement, we'll flag it and re-quote before doing any additional work.
- Flexible Engagement Models
- Transparent Pricing
- No Hidden Fees
4. Do you offer outcome-based or success-fee pricing?
For select engagements, yes. We can structure part of our fee against a measurable lift in date-conversion rate, so our incentives are aligned with your platform's actual outcomes rather than just deliverables.
- Flexible Engagement Models
- Transparent Pricing
- No Hidden Fees
5. Do you offer ongoing retainers?
Yes. Once your roadmap is implemented, most clients move to a quarterly advisory retainer — we monitor performance, refine the strategy, and keep you ahead of shifts in the market and in AI capability.

- Transparent Pricing
- No Hidden Fees
Approach
1. What makes your approach different from a generic AI consultant?
We only work with dating and matchmaking businesses. A generic AI consultant knows AI; we know AI and your industry — matching dynamics, trust and safety concerns, and what actually gets a member from a match to a date.
- Data-Driven Diagnostics
- Outcome-Based KPIs
- Tailored to Your Platform
2. What is a Date Conversion Audit?
It's our signature diagnostic. We map your full funnel — from signup to first date — and pinpoint exactly where members drop off, so you know precisely where AI can have the biggest impact before you invest in building anything.
- Data-Driven Diagnostics
- Outcome-Based KPIs
- Tailored to Your Platform
3. How do you measure success?
Dates booked — not matches, not messages, not time-on-app. Every recommendation we make is tied back to that single outcome, and we track it before and after implementation so the impact is measurable, not anecdotal.
- Data-Driven Diagnostics
- Outcome-Based KPIs
- Tailored to Your Platform
4. Do you help with implementation, or just strategy?
Both. We don't stop at a slide deck — we help you write the technical spec, select the right AI and matching-engine vendors, and coordinate rollout, so the strategy actually reaches production.
- Data-Driven Diagnostics
- Outcome-Based KPIs
- Tailored to Your Platform
5. How do you tailor strategy to our specific platform?
No two dating platforms have the same funnel, audience, or market position. Every engagement starts with your specific data and constraints — a niche faith-based app and a regional matchmaking agency get very different roadmaps.
- Data-Driven Diagnostics
- Outcome-Based KPIs
- Tailored to Your Platform
Privacy Policy
1. What information do you collect from us?
Only what's needed to deliver the engagement — funnel and product analytics, aggregated member behavior data, and business information you choose to share with us. We don't request more access than a given deliverable requires.
- Strict Confidentiality
- No Data Resale
- Secure Handling
2. Do you access our members' personal data?
Wherever possible, we work from aggregated and anonymized data. If deeper access is genuinely required for a specific analysis, it's scoped, agreed with you in advance, and covered under an NDA and data processing agreement.
- Strict Confidentiality
- No Data Resale
- Secure Handling
3. Do you share our data with third parties?
No. We never sell or share client data with third parties. The only exception is when you explicitly ask us to loop in a vendor or implementation partner as part of the engagement — and even then, only what's necessary is shared.
- Strict Confidentiality
- No Data Resale
- Secure Handling
4. How do you protect sensitive platform data during an engagement?
We sign mutual NDAs before any sensitive information changes hands, limit access to the people directly working on your engagement, and delete working data at the end of the project unless you ask us to retain it for ongoing advisory.
- Strict Confidentiality
- No Data Resale
- Secure Handling
5. Do you use cookies on your website?
Yes, we use a small set of essential and analytics cookies to keep our site running smoothly and understand how visitors use it. You can manage or disable these at any time through your browser settings.
- Strict Confidentiality
- No Data Resale
- Secure Handling
Service & Solutions
1. What services do you offer?
Five core services: the Date Conversion Audit, AI Strategy Roadmap, Business Model Redesign, Implementation & Vendor Strategy, and Ongoing AI Advisory — each can be booked on its own or combined into a full engagement.
- End-to-End Support
- Niche Market Expertise
- Vendor-Agnostic Guidance
2. Can I book a single audit without a full engagement?
Yes. The Date Conversion Audit is designed to stand on its own — many clients start there, see the diagnostic, and decide from that report whether to move forward with a full roadmap.
- End-to-End Support
- Niche Market Expertise
- Vendor-Agnostic Guidance
3. Do you work with niche or regional dating apps?
Absolutely — niche and regional platforms are some of our best-fit clients. You can't out-resource the giants, but you can out-strategize them, and that's exactly where a focused AI approach gives you the edge.
- End-to-End Support
- Niche Market Expertise
- Vendor-Agnostic Guidance
4. Can you help with trust & safety AI, like deepfake or catfish detection?
Yes, trust and safety AI is part of our AI Strategy Roadmap. We help you evaluate verification and fraud-detection tooling, since member trust is directly tied to whether they'll actually agree to meet in person.
- End-to-End Support
- Niche Market Expertise
- Vendor-Agnostic Guidance
5. Do you help redesign our business model, not just our tech?
Yes — that's our Business Model Redesign service. AI strategy is most effective when it's paired with KPIs and monetization that reward outcomes like dates booked, not just engagement or time-on-app.
