Grindr Pivots to Anthropic, Amazon to Power AI Wingman Feature
This article is for subscribers only.
Grindr Inc. said it’s using artificial intelligence tools from Amazon.com Inc. and Anthropic to develop features for its “Wingman” product, rather than relying on chatbots from startup Ex-human Inc.
The LGBTQ dating brand is rolling out a feature from its product roadmap called “A-List,” an automatically curated list that surfaces “meaningful past connections, high-potential matches” and chat summaries. The goal is for users to pick up where they left off without digging through entire chat histories. “A-list” will be available to 25% of Grindr Unlimited subscribers by the end of April and is powered by Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 3.7 model and Amazon Web Services’ Bedrock tool.
