Let’s talk
A full-stack mobile app build for Say Allo and DiHola, AI-powered dating platforms that reached nearly 1M downloads and earned Apple's Best Dating Apps recognition.
Say Allo and DiHola are AI-powered dating platforms that connect people through intelligent matchmaking and real-time video. Say Allo launched first, serving users across the United States and Canada with an advanced compatibility system that set a new standard for online dating. DiHola followed to address an underserved Hispanic and Latino community seeking meaningful connections, creating a culturally rich and inclusive dating experience. Both apps have been recognized for their cutting-edge technology, with DiHola earning Apple's "Best Dating Apps" distinction in the App Store.
A key differentiator for both platforms is the proprietary machine learning algorithm developed in collaboration with the Head of R&D at Ubisoft and a co-developer of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ensuring scientifically backed compatibility assessments for meaningful connections.
Say Allo and DiHola set out to redefine online dating, but needed a full-stack development partner who could think big and build to match. The challenge was creating intuitive, high-performance mobile applications that integrate advanced AI, machine learning, and real-time user interactions, while ensuring scalability and security for a growing global audience.
There was no existing AI-driven dating platform offering true behavioral-based compatibility matching, making it essential to build an entirely new system from the ground up. The apps needed to scale across multiple markets while supporting iOS, Android, and web. Backend requirements were complex: real-time video chat, user moderation, and in-app security were all table stakes for a safe and engaging experience.
Culturally tailored experiences were also crucial, particularly for DiHola's Hispanic and Latino audience. Multi-language localization added another layer of complexity, requiring seamless UI/UX consistency across English, French, and Spanish for Say Allo, and English and Spanish for DiHola.
"Partnering with an award-winning team, we set out to launch something that had never been done before, leveraging AI and machine learning to redefine relationship discovery. Say Allo and DiHola are now positioned to connect millions of people worldwide through intelligent matchmaking and seamless digital interactions." - CEO, Unpack'd Technologies
To power both platforms, our team built a robust, scalable technology stack with an emphasis on AI-driven compatibility, real-time engagement, and seamless user experience. We developed native iOS and Android apps optimized for performance, alongside a responsive web version to broaden accessibility.
At the core, a scientifically backed machine learning compatibility system was built in collaboration with top researchers, significantly increasing connection success rates. A cloud-based backend infrastructure was designed to support real-time video chat (via Agora), in-app messaging (via SendBird), and large-scale community management.
An advanced admin portal handled AI-powered content moderation and automated verification, reinforcing platform safety at scale. Say Allo was localized for English, French, and Spanish, while DiHola was adapted for English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility across a diverse, global audience. SEO optimization strategies, including keyword-rich metadata and optimized app store descriptions, were implemented to maximize visibility and organic downloads. A seamless, culturally inclusive UI/UX was designed to promote retention and satisfaction across both platforms.
