Inspiration (Black Mirror - "Hang the DJ")

Dating apps can be overwhelming. It's often difficult to create genuine responses to every message, so we've noticed a couple of key problems with modern apps:

Creating an engaging profile that authentically represents you
Identifying compatible matches
Starting meaningful conversations that lead to real connections
Great date ideas

Inspired by these challenges, we created ¬ Catfish (Not Catfish) - an AI-powered dating assistant that helps users optimize their dating profiles and interactions while maintaining authenticity.

What it does

¬ Catfish provides four key features:

Automatic Profile Curation: Analyzes your Instagram photos, Spotify songs, and app personal information to create a tailored dating profile bio, and personalized responses to profile questions. Sync with Tinder in one click, no need to open Tinder ever again - just show up for the good matches.
Match Compatibility: Analyzes your profile and potential matches, and shared values to identify top matches.
Smart Openers: Generates personalized opening messages for each match. References specific details from match profiles images/bio. Send in one click, no need to open Tinder ever again - just show up for the good matches.
Date Ideas: Suggests personalized date activities based on shared interests in bios. Integrates with Tavily search API for real-time local event recommendations. Provides venue links and relevant details.

How we built it

Technical Stack:

Frontend: Next.js, TailwindCSS, Radix UI
Backend: Flask and Next.js on Vercel Serverless. Integrates with Instagram OAuth and official API + Tinder's reverse-engineered unofficial API (hehe)
AI Integration: Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet for natural language processing
Search Integration: Tavily API for real-time date recommendations
