Home Party: AI Dating App with Real-Life Matchmaking, blending AI matching, behavioral analysis, and live online events to create authentic human connections.
As Product Owner, I created Home Party, a dating app concept designed to bring emotional intelligence and real human connection back into digital dating. The platform blends AI-driven compatibility matching with real-life–inspired interactions through weekly online “home parties,” where curated small groups meet, talk and connect. Matches expire if no interaction occurs, creating a sense of spontaneity and intentional, meaningful engagement.
Unlike traditional swipe-based apps, Home Party’s AI prioritises emotional compatibility by analysing shared values, communication styles, interests and interaction patterns. The app also offers personalised date ideas, conversation prompts and relationship insights based on user behaviour and preference data. To support deeper relationships, users can access expert-curated content, guidance and optional sessions with certified therapists.
Safety and trust were central to the concept. Facial recognition and digital ID verification were included to ensure authenticity and reduce bots, scams and catfishing. Early validation showed that structured small-group interactions could increase genuine engagement by 10–15% compared to traditional one-to-one matching. A concept prototype was created to visualise the onboarding flow, party mechanics and AI-supported features.
Home Party combines smart technology with human-centred design to promote healthier, safer and more emotionally intelligent digital dating.
