The Problem with Generic Openers

We've all seen them: "Hey," "What's up," or the dreaded "You're beautiful." These messages get lost in the noise. On average, only 10-15% of generic opening messages receive a response. But there's a better way.

How AI Creates Better Openers

DateCoach's AI analyzes each match's profile—their photos, bio, interests, and prompts—to generate personalized conversation starters. Here's what makes them effective:

1. Personalization

Every opener references something specific from their profile, showing you actually read it and are genuinely interested.

2. Open-Ended Questions

Instead of yes/no questions, AI openers invite detailed responses that naturally lead to back-and-forth conversation.

3. Tone Matching

The AI adapts to your communication style, ensuring messages sound authentic to you—not like a robot wrote them.

Real Examples

Here are examples of AI-generated openers that got responses:

  • Profile mentions hiking: "I saw you're into hiking! What's the best trail you've done recently? I'm always looking for new spots to explore."
  • Profile shows dog photo: "Your dog is adorable! What's their name? Mine is always trying to steal food off my plate."
  • Bio mentions cooking: "Fellow foodie here! What's your signature dish? I'm trying to perfect homemade pasta."
