AskMeOut!

What it does

AskMeOut! is an innovative online dating coach and skill builder app that leverages the power of AI to revolutionize the online dating experience. Users engage in simulated conversations with AI-generated "dates" tailored to their preferences to practice and build their social skills and confidence, and then receive feedback on how to improve.

At the core of AskMeOut! is the integration of the Gemini API. When a user interacts with their AI date, each message is stored in a Firestore database. This triggers a Firebase function that sends the conversation history to the Gemini API along with specific prompts. Gemini then generates a realistic and engaging response, which is subsequently added to the personalized conversation.

After at least 25 back and forth messages, the user can ask for feedback. At that point we send the entire conversation via the Gemini API with a prompt asking Gemini AI to create feedback for the user. The user receives three things they did well and three things they could improve, plus an overall summary of how well their conversation went. The user then has the option to start again with a different date persona.

By providing practice in a safe environment and then personalized feedback and guidance, AskMeOut! empowers users to build confidence, improve communication and social skills, and increase their chances of finding genuine connections. This can lead to increased self-esteem, improved relationships, and ultimately, greater happiness.
