Industry First: AI Matchmaking Rehearsal Offers Simulated Matchmaking Conversations

IBJ Co., Ltd. has launched the AI Matchmaking Rehearsal for marriage agency services. This industry-first feature allows AI, trained on the expertise of experienced matchmaking counselors, to simulate 15-minute conversations and provide feedback on content and etiquette, helping to reduce anxiety and improve relationship success rates. The service was developed to address the growing number of young people with little dating experience who feel anxious about interpersonal communication and what to say during matchmaking. Users practice a realistic flow from self-introductions to hobbies. After the conversation, the AI analyzes the content and suggests improvements on the spot, highlighting inappropriate questions or bad conversational habits. The feedback algorithm incorporates IBJ's extensive matchmaking know-how. A survey showed that 89% of users found the AI advice helpful for actual matchmaking, praising its high accuracy and convincing feedback. The service is available to IBJ-affiliated agency members subscribed to the IBJS app Premium Pack.
