Personality-based matching
Personality-based matching pairs people on values, temperament and goals — who they are, not how they photograph.
Personality-based matching is the idea that the things which make two people click — humour, values, temperament, the way they picture the future — matter far more than height, distance or a good photo. Instead of filtering on surface traits, it pairs people on the deeper signals of who they actually are.
Two people can both tick "likes hiking" and still be a terrible match; they can disagree on a checkbox and be wonderful together. Personality-based matching is built to notice that difference. In an AI dating app it works by modelling those deeper dimensions from your profile and weighing them when deciding who to introduce you to.
It's the foundation of how Lamp matches. Paired with natural-language Wishes and a compatibility view that shows where your values line up, it means the people you meet fit your life — not just your filters.
Key points
- It matches on values, temperament and goals rather than photos or rigid filters.

- Lamp models these dimensions and shows where your values line up before you say hello.
