AI Dating Photo Rater / Crush App
Monetize an AI that scores dating-app photos and coaches users on which shots convert.
In plain English
Dating photos get a score in this phone app, along with coaching on which shots work better. You upload pictures, and the AI rates them and gives practical tips. A free level can turn into weekly or monthly purchases inside the app. People pay because choosing the right photo is hard, and before-and-after clips on TikTok are how many of them hear about it. The AI does almost all of the scoring, the tips, and the purchase handling, while the person running it still makes those clips, checks that results stay tasteful, and works on keeping users coming back.
