Matchmaking for a lasting relationship
Meet someone to
build a life with.
Sift is your AI matchmaker. It gets to know you through conversation, then introduces one person at a time and explains why you might be a good fit for each other. You can ask Sift questions before deciding whether to connect.
Dating, with a matchmaker doing the searching.
Most dating apps leave the searching to you.
On most dating apps, you browse profiles, decide who to contact, and start finding out whether your lives could fit together. A good photo and a few shared interests only tell you so much.
With Sift, you start by talking to your matchmaker. It searches using what you’ve both shared about your personalities, values, daily lives and plans, then introduces you when it sees a possible fit.
First, Sift gets to know you
A conversation that goes beyond your bio.
Sift asks about your personality, values, daily life and plans for the future. Follow-up questions get into the experiences behind your answers, including what you need from a partner and what won’t work for you.
It’s a longer conversation, and you don’t have to finish it in one sitting. Take your time, go off on a tangent, and correct anything Sift gets wrong.
You, at your best.
Sift creates a unique profile page around your stories, photos and personality. The words and layout are made to show you at your best, rather than fit you into a standard template. You can customize it all and choose what to share.
Then, an introduction
Know why Sift thinks you should meet.
You each get a profile to explore and Sift’s explanation of the possible fit: where your lives line up, where they differ, and what it doesn’t know yet.
Ask Sift follow-up questions or talk through a concern privately. Would your schedules leave room for evenings together? Its answers use information the other person has agreed to share.
You only start talking to each other if you both choose to connect.
How Sift works
From getting started to seeing where it goes.
- 01
Have a conversation
Take your time talking with Sift about your life and what you want. Review what it learns, make your profile your own, and verify your identity before matchmaking.
- 02
Let Sift look for someone
When you’re ready to meet someone, join the matchmaking pool. Sift looks for a fit for both people, with at most one introduction a week. If it doesn’t find a suitable person, it waits.
- 03
Explore, ask, and decide
Read their profile and ask Sift questions privately. If you’d like to connect, let Sift know. If it doesn’t feel right, you can decline and return to matchmaking when you’re ready.
- 04
Connect and make plans
If you both want to connect, you can start talking to each other. Sift can help with conversation starters and finding a time and place for a date. You decide the pace.
- 05
Reflect on the date
Talk with Sift privately about how it went and what you learned. You can keep seeing each other, return to matchmaking, or take a break. Sift asks before changing any of your preferences.
A few fair questions
Before you give Sift a try.
Is Sift free?
Creating your profile is free. Matchmaking is paid: you buy introduction credits before joining the pool. A credit is used when Sift makes an introduction, even if either person decides not to connect. If Sift doesn’t find someone, your credit stays available.
Who is Sift for?
Sift is for adults looking for a long-term, monogamous relationship. It suits people who want help finding a partner and are willing to take time for a longer conversation and consider one introduction at a time.
What is getting started like?
You’ll have a longer written conversation with Sift about your life and what you want in a partner. It asks follow-up questions, and you can return to the conversation over several sessions. Before matchmaking, you review your profile and preferences and complete identity verification.
Can AI know whether we’ll have chemistry?
No. Sift looks for reasons you might be a good fit based on what you’ve both shared. It can explain those reasons, differences, and things it doesn’t know. Whether there’s chemistry is something you find out by talking and meeting.
What if Sift doesn’t find someone?
If there isn’t a suitable introduction, Sift won’t send one. It won’t ignore your deal breakers to make a match. You can keep talking with Sift and updating your profile in the meantime.
What will a match see about me?
You approve what appears in your introduction and what a match can ask Sift about. You can also share details for matchmaking without showing them to another person, or keep something entirely private and out of matching.
Will everyone be identity verified?
Everyone must complete identity verification before matchmaking. Your government ID is never shown to a match. Verification helps reduce fake accounts; it doesn’t establish someone’s intentions or guarantee safety.
What happens when I’m getting to know someone?
You have one active introduction at a time. While you’re exploring a connection, Sift doesn’t send you more people to consider. You can continue seeing each other, return to matchmaking if it doesn’t work out, or take a break.
