I built HOOKED because I was tired of swiping. After years of being single, I realized we don't need another dating app giving us hundreds of profiles. We need something that helps us actually meet. I kept seeing the same problem: people match, they chat, and then nothing happens. So I started building HOOKED around one question: What if a dating app's job wasn't to keep you swiping—but to get you on the date? That's why HOOKED combines intelligent matchmaking with real-world date booking and curated experiences. We're not trying to create more matches. We're trying to create more dates. SWIPE LESS. DATE MORE.™
What became possible in your product with Astra that was not practical before?
Astra made it practical for HOOKED to move beyond simply matching people and start intelligently orchestrating what happens next. Before Astra, building AI across matching, user preferences, date recommendations, and our growing network of merchants and experiences would have required significantly more custom infrastructure. With Astra, we can work toward a more contextual experience where HOOKED understands who you might connect with, what kind of date fits you both, and which real-world experience could actually turn that match into a date. That matters because our vision isn’t another AI dating chatbot. It’s an intelligent matchmaking + date-booking system designed to get people offline. Match → recommend → book → meet IRL. Astra helps make that intelligence layer much more practical to build and scale.
