Hullo Gets AI Matchmaking Upgrade with Nvidia, AWS and Google
Vietnam-based dating app Hullo has launched a substantial upgrade to its AI-driven matchmaking system, aiming to address common frustrations in online dating such as endless swiping and low-quality matches. The enhanced platform leverages advanced artificial intelligence to deliver more compatible match suggestions by analysing deeper behavioural and communication cues rather than just profile information.
Originally introduced in 2024, Hullo’s AI matchmaking engine has now been significantly improved through support from three major technology programmes – Nvidia Inception, AWS Activate, and Google for Startups. These partnerships provide Hullo with expanded technical resources, cloud infrastructure credits and access to AI development communities, which the company says are key to building a more nuanced compatibility model.
Unlike many traditional dating apps that rely on swiping and superficial criteria, Hullo’s upgraded system analyses micro-interaction data, communication styles, lifestyle indicators and even voice-first interactions to determine compatibility. The intention is to present users with a much smaller, highly curated set of potential matches that are statistically more likely to lead to meaningful connections, especially for those focused on serious relationships.
Founder Sam Tran emphasised the goal of reducing “swipe fatigue” that many singles experience on mainstream platforms. According to Tran, Hullo’s learning-based AI continuously adapts with each user interaction, improving match recommendations over time and making the overall experience feel more natural and less random. The company says the upgraded system supports its expansion into English-speaking and Southeast Asian markets, with plans for further growth in the U.S. in 2026. Future roadmap items include context-aware conversation tools, personalised date suggestions, and deeper emotional compatibility mapping, all aimed at guiding users from initial match to lasting connection.
