IRIS is the dating app with a doorman. Our AI checks IDs, catches stolen and generated photos, and walks scammers out before they ever say hey. Then it steps aside — because the talking, the flirting, the falling? That part stays human.
None of it gets past the door.
Why the door exists
American adults have lost money to a romance scam.

How the door works
Government ID matched to a live selfie in about a minute. Checked once, encrypted, never shown to other members — and never sold.
Every image is screened for AI generation, stock-library theft, and other people's faces before it's ever seen.
A pattern-watching model knows the script — the money ask, the copy-paste charm, the too-fast "I love you" — and walks it out mid-sentence.
Our one rule
Half of singles say AI inside romance feels wrong — ghostwritten charm, optimized affection, a bot doing the wooing. We agree. So we drew a hard line and built the whole product on one side of it. Want an AI in your corner? Ray’s there on IRIS+ — and even he obeys the rule.
"If a machine wrote the message that made someone fall for you — who did they fall for?"
Meet in focus
New matches start softly out of focus — on purpose. Every real exchange brings the picture, and the person, a little sharper. Ten minutes of actual talk beats ten thousand swipes, and nobody gets judged in a twentieth of a second again.
Then take it offline. IRIS Nights are verified-members-only meetups — run clubs, listening bars, cook-offs — in your city. Everyone in the room has been through the door. Imagine that.
Pricing without the tricks
No boosts. No pay-to-be-seen. No $60 “Platinum.” Your money buys the room — and, if you want it, help. Never placement. We bill like adults too: a reminder before your trial ends, and cancel takes two taps. Ranking hearts by wallet is its own kind of scam, and we don’t run it.
elsewhere: premium tiers run $39–$60/mo — before the boosts.
