Olly▲12I've been building a personal AI assistant for my self that's accessible over iMessage.

ember▲5Hi HN, I'm William. ember is a matchmaking app I built because after 10 years of using every major dating app, I'd close each one feeling worse than when I opened it. To me they all look the same and feel the same. The apps reward looks over substance and swipes over conversations. I crave deeper connection and wanted to see if a personality-first format can work. It's a "Love Is Blind" structure: you do an interactive onboarding that builds a persona, get compared automatically against other users, and connect through conversation before ever seeing a photo.
