VIOLA.AI is the world’s first artificial intelligence and blockchain based platform for dating and relationships.
VIOLA.AI — BACKGROUND
VIOLA started out 14 years ago with a vision to be the world’s most effective dating service. Seven years ago, they launched an online hybrid matching service. Four years ago, they launched Lunch Actually Academy, an education arm to help singles improve their first impressions and dating skills. Two years ago, they launched LunchClick dating app that focused on bringing singles from online to offline (face-to-face) date.
VIOLA.AI — VISION
They have the vision to restore trust and transparency to the love industry. Their ultimate goal is to change the world, one relationship at a time.
TECHNOLOGY FOR VIOLA.AI
VIOLA.AI uses artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. Blockchain and AI is the key to building better dating and relationship service. Blockchain protects users through decentralized REL-Registry which includes ID and Relationship Verification with visual recognition technology and facilitates trustless and efficient transactions with Viola.AI Wallet and Hedged Escrow System.
THE VIOLET TOKEN
The VIOLET token is the key to building up interaction and growth within the VIOLA.AI community. The VIOLET token has been integrated with the existing ecosystem (apps, websites, and offline services). The primary use of token are:
- Payment transactions — payment for goods and services on the platform.
- Advertising — by businesses/experts.
- Rewards — Tokens given as rewards to the user community and businesses that help in the growth of VIOLA.AI.
WHAT IS REL-REGISTRY?
It is a decentralized global and transparent relationships/marital registry on the blockchain that helps to create and sustain successful and happy relationships for all singles and couples with AI assistance.
The REL-REGISTRY is useful if you are single, in a relationship, or if you are married.
SINGLES can use REL-REGISTRY to access curated, single-only matches, search a date’s relationship status with advanced filtering options, use AI Love Advisor services, and arrange dates and buy gifts with VIOLET tokens.
Couples in a relationship can use the REL-REGISTRY to declare their relationship status, use AI Love Advisor services to nurture their relationship, and marry on the Blockchain with globally-immutable Smart Contracts.
Married couples can declare their commitment to smart contracts, create customized love agreements with VIOLET tokens, and get help from AI Love Advisor for a sustainable marriage.
VIOLA.AI WALLET
The VIOLA.AI WALLET facilitates all transactions between users and businesses/merchants and provides ease of transactions and secured transactions for all users. VIOLA.AI WALLET helps:
- To purchase and store VIOLET tokens.
- Payment transactions for goods and services.
- Transfers between users who reward one another for content or advice.
- To receive rewards through revenue share, gamification, and referrals.
HEDGED ESCROW SYSTEM
VIOLA.AI will be entirely decentralized with Ethereum Smart Contracts and Hedged Escrow System to ensure transparent and automatic transactions. The users can secure the total value of a service in the hedged contract and release it when the service is completed. As VIOLET token may fluctuate during the escrow holding period, any differences in the escrow value are adjusted with the hedged contract upon release of payment.
VIOLA.AI DIFFERS FROM OTHER SERVICES FOR ITS:
- Verification (ID + Relationship status) to ensure that users are talking to real profiles
- The AI will evolve her role based on the user’s relationship status (from dating, to marriage, etc)
- Timeliness-focuses its advice and recommendations to a user based on the specific timeline and occasion.
- Convenience-Reduces misunderstandings between users and business owners.
- Relevance-Delivers the right type of content, goods, and services to the right type of users based on the relationship status and personal preferences on both sides.
VIOLA-LEARNING PHASE-REWARDS AND TOKENS
As VIOLA.AI is still in the early phase of development, it has to learn more to give the most relevant advice to the user, as the love and dating scenario is comprehensive. To supplement this initial limited capability, users can send their questions or requests via a bid and the respondents with the best answer can be given VIOLET tokens as a reward. This way, VIOLA.AI will learn from the responses which are rated best and learn to answer similar questions by the users in the future.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
VIOLA.AI is the world’s first AI and blockchain technology-based dating and relationship service. The blockchain helps keep users’ data safe and discreet with no scope for any tampering or stealing of personal and private data from the users’ profile. AI engine helps provide users service in a humanized manner with an understanding of the need of the hour. The best part of VIOLA.AI is that it stays (switches mode during these changes) with the user throughout his/her journey with their partners from dating, to relationship, to getting married and thereafter.
