AI Dating App Gigi Pivots to LinkedIn Style Social Site
What will the next wave of social networks look like? A string of investors and startup founders is betting AI can provide the answer. Clara Gold, a French startup founder, is one of them. Her startup, Gigi, recently pivoted from building an AI-powered dating app to a professional networking platform.
Prior to launching Gigi as a professional networking tool, Gold built two different AI products. The first was Ava, an AI chatbot character, which Gold launched in 2023. In 2024, she pivoted to building a dating app, rebranding as Gigi. But Gold said it became “very frustrating” to build a product that, if it worked, would eventually be deleted.
