Engineering "Tough Love": The Prompt Stack behind Astute Kitty.
Most AI assistants are too "nice." If you ask ChatGPT for dating advice, it gives you a polite, generic list of tips that rarely works in the real world. For LoveActually.ai, we had a different challenge: How do we engineer an AI to be brutally honest without breaking its RLHF safety rails? Enter Astute Kitty. We built her personality stack using: -Negative Constraints: Explicitly forbidding...
Simulation Log: I let a "Toxic" Agent date a "Therapist" Agent for 24 hours. Here is the chat log.
I was tired of testing my dating app manually. So, I automated it. I set up a loop between our two distinct AI personalities: Astute Kitty (The Strategist): Logic-driven, high critical thinking, slightly mean. Loving Kitty (The Companion): High empathy, supportive, long-term memory enabled. I gave them one prompt: "Get to know each other and decide if you want a second date." The Highlights...

Drop your standard opening line (or the worst one you've ever received)...

A Letter to Dating Apps Swiping Survivors: Why 2026 will be the year of meaningful connection
Hi Product Hunt community! As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on a term our team uses often: "The Swiping Survivor." If you’re like me, your 2025 dating retrospective might look like a graveyard of "Read" receipts, "Hey" opening lines that went nowhere, and the exhaustion of repeating your life story for the 20th time. We built LoveActually.ai because we realized that traditional...
Why I spent a year building an AI to save me from the "Swiping Burnout" cycle
Hi Product Hunt! I’m Nicole, co-founder of LoveActually.ai. Like many of you, I spent 2024 staring at "Read" receipts and feeling like dating apps were optimized for my engagement, not my connection. After hitting a wall with Tinder and Hinge, our team decided to build a "Relationship Companion" rather than just another dating app. We created two AI mascots: Astute Kitty (the brutally honest...
