What it does

Duo replaces swiping with compatibility-first matchmaking. Instead of browsing profiles, it learns how you think, communicate, and what you value—then evaluates matches before you meet. You get a small number of curated introductions with clear explanations of why they work, and you decide whether to connect. Runs entirely through iMessage, no app required, and improves over time as it learns from you. If you would like to experience DUO in real time, text "Sign me up" to 645.206.3419

Text a number. Tell us what you're looking for once. Our AI finds curated matches and sends them to your iMessage . Takes only a few minutes. We'll text you when we find your match. Three steps, all in iMessage. No swiping, no scrolling, no profiles to perform — just a thoughtful conversation, a compatibility model, and a steady stream of real matches. A real conversation about what you want, what you've learned from past relationships, and the patterns that matter most. Let our AI get to know you — it's the only work you'll ever do. After this, DUO takes it from here. We model compatibility across hundreds of dimensions and surface matches only when there's a real, mutual fit on both…from textduo.ai

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
