Two people sharing a warm, candid moment together

The dating app that actually understands you.

AI-powered matchmaking based on who you truly are — your values, your personality, your vision for the future. Not another endless swipe.

AI-curated matches

People you’ll actually want to meet.

No more scrolling through hundreds of profiles. Lamp’s AI handpicks a small number of people who match your energy, your values, and what you’re genuinely looking for — so every introduction is one worth your time.

How it works

Three steps to something real.

A person thoughtfully filling in their profile

Be yourself.

Share your interests, values, and what you're genuinely looking for — no curated highlight reel required. Lamp builds a deep understanding of who you are that goes far beyond your photos.

We do the matchmaking.

Our AI compares compatibility across dozens of dimensions — personality, lifestyle, goals, and the things that quietly matter. You get a handful of handpicked matches, not an infinite stack to swipe.

Start conversations with help from Genie, your AI dating assistant — thoughtful openers tailored to the person you're talking to, so the first message never feels like a cold start.

Not another dating app.

Four things that make Lamp feel less like a slot machine and more like a thoughtful introduction.

Meet Genie.

Your AI dating assistant and wingman. Genie helps you write a bio that sounds like you, suggests icebreakers for each match, and offers genuine advice whenever you're stuck.

Make a Wish.

Describe the person you're hoping to meet in your own words — "someone who reads, hikes, and wants kids one day." Lamp turns that natural-language Wish into matches.

A safer community.

AI moderation reviews photos and messages, and you can block, unmatch, and report at any time. We design for respect, not just reach.

Know before you chat.

AI-generated compatibility insights show you what you have in common and why you might click — before you ever send a message.

Our story

We believe dating should feel human.

We built Lamp because we were tired of dating apps that reduce people to a photo and a pickup line. Real connection runs deeper than a swipe — so we taught our AI to look deeper too.

Genie, our AI assistant, learns what makes you you and introduces you to people who genuinely complement your life — then helps you turn a match into a first conversation.

  • Matches based on values, not just looks
  • AI icebreakers that start real conversations
  • Moderation and reporting built in from day one

Questions, answered

Frequently asked

How does Lamp's AI matchmaking work?
When you build your profile, Lamp turns who you are — your interests, values, lifestyle, and what you're looking for — into a compatibility profile. Instead of filtering people by a few checkboxes, our AI compares that profile against others to estimate genuine compatibility, then hands you a small set of curated matches rather than an endless stack to swipe.
What is Genie, the AI dating assistant?
Genie is Lamp's built-in AI wingman. It helps you write a bio that actually sounds like you, suggests icebreakers tailored to each match, offers date ideas, and gives you a nudge when you're not sure what to say. You stay in control — Genie only ever suggests, never sends anything on your behalf.
What are Wishes?
A Wish lets you describe the person you'd love to meet in plain language — for example, "someone creative who loves the outdoors and wants a family one day." Lamp reads your Wish and factors it into who it introduces you to, so you can ask for what matters to you without wrestling with rigid filters.
Is Lamp free?
Yes. Lamp is free to download on the App Store and you can use its core features at no cost. We may offer optional premium features over time, but matching, messaging, and Genie's everyday help are part of the free experience.
Which countries is Lamp available in?
Lamp is built for daters in the United Kingdom and the United States. The app is available on the Apple App Store, and our website and support are written with UK and US users in mind.
How does Lamp keep me safe?
Safety is built in: AI moderation reviews photos and messages, and you can block, unmatch, and report anyone at any time. We're transparent about how your data is handled in our Privacy Policy, and we publish practical safety guidance for meeting people from the app.

Your next great conversation is one download away. Join people who decided that real connection is worth more than a swipe.
