That's coming out later this year, but they've already started beta testing internally this product, an AI assistant within Bumble that they call Bee.

And she acts as a personal dating coach and a dating consultant.

And they're already testing that and that will also be released.

So with this, I think the reason for this was Bumble at the same time announced that its paid users had dropped by 21% from 4 million to 3.2 million.

And we've known for a long time, like AI started dating apps.

Like the whole thing is based on an algorithm where you're just getting the people that the AI thinks you're the AI.

That the robot thinks that you're most likely to date.

And that's literally based off a few things from your profile.
