DatingBot

DatingBot deliberately steps away from the swipe deck. You start by writing a few words about yourself or what you are looking for, and the bot's AI helps turn them into a short story. Other people read these stories and respond to the ones that resonate, so a conversation begins from something you actually said rather than from a photo.

The project describes its goal as friendship and real conversations rather than quick matches, and the format supports that: it rewards people who like to write and read, and it is less useful if you mainly want to browse photos of people nearby.

Its website, datingtg.org, links to the bot and explains the money side. Creating and publishing stories is free. A premium layer is sold through Stickers on TON and adds unlimited stories, a visibility boost and profile customisation; the site does not list exact prices in tokens, so check them before buying.

The Telegram page shows about 12,000 monthly users, a modest but real audience for a young format. The interface is English only. Usual dating caution applies: no money transfers to people you have met through a story.
