Bases Made Simple

User mini-case: ESL student Mei asked roommates, “What are the based in a relationship?” and received six contradictory answers. She tried IRIS Dating instead. The app’s onboarding showed illustrated stages—hand-holding, kissing, touch escalation, intimacy—and asked Mei to drag them into her preferred order. Minutes later she matched with Samir, who arranged the same sequence. They chatted about cultural perspectives on affection, effortlessly aligning comfort zones. When they met for coffee, a green chemistry badge replaced icebreakers. Within weeks they celebrated each agreed-upon base with cute emoji stickers, laughing about the original typo. IRIS proves language hiccups can’t derail love when AI translates desire into universal signals.

Visual Base Cards

IRIS’s deck of emoji-rich base cards transcends language barriers. Users select comfort levels with simple swipes: green for ready, yellow for discuss, red for not yet. The color logic needs zero perfect grammar, ensuring shy or non-native speakers express boundaries confidently. This visual shorthand speeds up rapport and prevents painful misreads that often follow clumsy phrasing. In pilot studies, confusion around first moves dropped dramatically, freeing couples to focus on fun. Communication thrives without perfect vocabulary.

Badge-Verified Attraction

For Mei and Samir, a green badge confirmed mutual attraction before the first hello. Seeing tangible proof transformed nerves into excitement. Because the badge appears only after both profiles rank highly, it removes guesswork about who likes whom. Users shift energy toward planning creative dates—karaoke, coding hackathons—instead of decoding ambiguous likes, building momentum that carries naturally into deeper bases when ready. Confidence like this turns potential typo embarrassment into charming inside jokes that spark ongoing chemistry.

Consent Checklist Prompts

IRIS integrates a concise consent checklist that partners can complete together in chat. Items cover pace preferences, public displays, and safe-word choices. The interactive format doubles as a flirtatious icebreaker, turning serious topics into playful collaboration. Finished checklists archive privately, so boundaries stay visible throughout the relationship, even when language slips reappear during heated moments. Couples later report feeling more adventurous because ground rules remain clear, reducing fear of accidental boundary crossing or misunderstood slang.

Guided Progress Pace

The IRIS algorithm watches response times and emoji sentiment to suggest when partners might comfortably advance to the next base. Subtle nudges like “long-press to celebrate” appear, preventing premature leaps and endless stalls alike. This AI timing coach feels like a supportive friend translating vibes into action items. As a result, milestones occur at mutually satisfying speeds, making each new stage feel earned, not forced. Evening routines evolve organically, and celebrations feel genuinely deserved every step.

Spark Beats Scroll

Most platforms boost engagement by burying users in endless feeds, but IRIS values spark over scroll. By limiting daily profiles and translating bases into colorful cards, it turns each swipe into insight. Singles gain hours for actual dates and learning new phrases, while still navigating intimacy with ease. The typo disappears, replaced by shared laughter and clear progress mapped in bright, reassuring colors. Typos welcome.

I've been on Iris for eight months and had a better experience getting matched on here compared to other apps. Deleted all the others and kept just Iris. Since it is still a new app, I had to be patient as more people have signed up. Met a few good friends so far and the recent match... WOW! Most successful date I have had in years!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know because of your app I have a valentines date tonight! Thank you so much, I really like the way your app is built. And the interface is very user friendly and unique.

I'm writing this message more to vent and really advise overall. I've used Tinder, Bumble, and Iris. For probably three years now. Out of all of the companies who operate a dating app, Iris's business model and mission statement is more holistic and comforting. So I felt safer here.

Just seeing the things you guys do for your customers, i have to say im personally impressed. Something like this, something rare that makes people feel as though others ARE trying to create simpler and more efficient methods of doing things such as dating, are truly out there, blows my mind personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iris uses advanced AI to analyze your preferences and behavior. Instead of relying on basic filters, our system learns what you find attractive by observing your interactions with profiles. This creates more meaningful matches based on genuine chemistry.

Iris offers both free and premium features. The free version includes basic matching and messaging capabilities. Our premium subscription unlocks additional features like advanced filters, unlimited likes, and priority matching.

Your privacy is our top priority. We use selfie verification to ensure authentic profiles, implement strong data encryption, and never share your personal information with third parties. You have full control over your profile visibility and can delete your data at any time.

Unlike traditional dating apps that rely on basic filters and endless swiping, Iris focuses on genuine attraction and chemistry. Our AI learns your preferences through behavior, not just stated interests, leading to more meaningful matches and better conversations.

Training Iris is the first step to personalized dating recommendations. Our AI focuses on facial features while being blind to skin color, race, hairstyle, and clothes. When you create an account, you'll train Iris by rating stock photos to help it understand your preferences.

The key to optimal training is balance: while enough 'High' ratings are essential, being overly generous can dilute the specificity of your type. Being too selective can prolong the process. Once trained, Iris continuously learns from your interactions to improve recommendations.
