Genie (Lamp)
Genie is Lamp's built-in AI dating assistant — it suggests bios, openers and date ideas; it never sends on your behalf.
Genie is the AI dating assistant built into Lamp. Its job is to smooth the parts of online dating that most apps leave you to manage alone: writing a profile bio that sounds like you rather than like a LinkedIn summary, crafting a conversation opener tailored to a specific match rather than a generic "hey", and generating date ideas suited to what you and your match actually have in common. It is there when the blank message box is intimidating and when the bio feels impossible — a useful starting point and a creative nudge, when you need one.
The critical line is control. Genie only ever suggests. It drafts, it offers options, it gives you a starting point — but you write, edit and send every message yourself. Genie never sends on your behalf, never pretends to be you, and never takes over any part of a real conversation. Every word that reaches your match comes from you. The assistant removes the friction; the authenticity is entirely yours.
Genie is one piece of the Lamp system, not a replacement for it. The AI compatibility engine finds the people who genuinely fit; Wishes let you direct the model with your own words; and Genie handles the moments where the blank page is the obstacle. The three features are designed to work together, covering the matching layer, the intent layer, and the conversation layer — so the whole journey from first introduction to first date has support at every stage. Free on the App Store for iPhone.
