Apps like Tinder, Hinge, Bumble require effort if you want to match - and meet - the hottest women. Who's got time to figure out what works and what doesn't?

There's a reason AI dating assistants like Cupidbot AI, Roast, YourMove, and Keys are hugely popular. So how does Rizz compare?

 

The Rizz app uses AI technology to suggest pick-up lines based on screenshots of your online matches and conversations. It will generate messages you can use as conversation starters or to elevate your chat.

The app is meant to be your AI dating assistant (or ‘wingman’) that offers guidance to improve your online flirting. Its goal is to move things off of the dating app as quickly as possible.

Rizz was co-founded by Roman Khaves and Joshua Miller in 2022. Since the app launched, over 7.5 million users have tried the app, as Khaves told Forbes:

“We’re seeing unprecedented engagement levels. Our users have generated close to 100 million AI-powered messages, which speaks volumes about the value they’re finding in our platform.”

The app’s name comes from the slang term, Rizz, which means charm or attractiveness and the ability to attract a partner. In a nutshell, the word rizz is just a modern term for someone having ‘game’. 

To begin using Rizz, you can either upload a screenshot of your conversation or the profile photo of your match. The app will provide messages you can use to kickstart a conversation or continue the one you’ve already got going.

These messages might be fun and charming, but they can sometimes miss their mark. (We’ll talk about this further down!)

Since Rizz uses AI algorithms and data to craft replies, its suggestions will improve the more you use it. Basically, it begins to mirror your personality through screenshots of your conversations.

Moving forward, Khaves has plans to take the Rizz app a step further by turning it into a matchmaking platform. In his words:  

“We’re developing an AI matchmaking platform that will leverage our deep understanding of user preferences and communication styles to suggest highly compatible matches.”

Rizz is free for the first week, but it will charge you $7 per week moving forward. You can save a bit of money by signing up for the monthly subscription which costs around $20 a month.

Rizz has been featured in several media outlets like Cosmopolitan and Time, including what some individuals had to say about their experience.  

This writeup in Cosmo mentions that the app can feel more like a “slightly unhinged sidekick who occasionally has a good idea.” It goes on to say that they’d still use the app as a brainstorming tool and consider it to be more of a “jumping off point” for conversation rather than copying and pasting each message exactly. 

Another app user told Time that they turned to Rizz three or four times during an online dating app conversation. However, they said it helped them feel inspired more than anything.

“Often, I won’t even use what Rizz suggests, but it’ll inspire me and it’ll get my creative juices flowing.”

Other users voiced their Rizz experiences on platforms like Reddit, the App Store, and Google Play.

On the app store, Rizz has a 4.8 out of 5 star rating based on over 23k reviews. The majority of reviews rated the app 5 stars.

Most of the reviewers shared positive experiences using Rizz, with some mentioning the app’s pick-up lines:

And some people shared that it was a good app overall, but asked for more ‘rizzes’ per week:

Whereas, other users felt like improvements could be made to make the experience run smoother:

On Google Play, the app has earned a 4.4 out of 5-star rating based on over 83k reviews. 

While many of these reviews don’t offer context on why they rated the app 5 stars, some do go into detail about their experience. For example, these two reviewers commented on the app’s effectiveness:

And others claimed that it helped them grow their confidence when talking to girls:

However, some users were upset that they were charged after canceling their subscriptions:

Rizz can offer suggestions on how to lead a conversation with singles who you find attractive. This can be a bonus if you feel stuck in a lackluster conversation. It also provides advice on how to build “rapport” with your match so they’ll be more likely to meet with you in person, which is typically the end goal of online dating. 

The downside is that you can’t guide it in the type of responses you are looking for. Rizz does not allow multiple screenshots to be uploaded at a time, plus there’s no option to provide written context. This means you can only upload a single screenshot and wait for the suggestions.

Rizz can help you say something worth responding to. But a great opening line only matters if everything else is working too — a profile that draws in the right people, screening that filters out the wrong ones, and follow-through that actually converts matches into dates.
