DateIQ lives in a sidebar on the right of your Tinder tab. Everything is reachable through four tabs at the bottom. Here's the map.

Wingman — your command center

The default tab and where you'll spend most of your time. It's organized around what to do right now.

  • Next Action stack — the prioritized queue of matches and recommendations. Each card is one match, one specific action ("send the first message," "revive this thread," "propose a date"). See Next Actions.
  • Score My Profile card — when DateIQ thinks your profile is the bottleneck, this shows up as a system card. See Score My Profile.
  • Live Activity — what the agent is doing in the background (auto-swipe runs, sync progress).
  • Run controls — start swipe runs, send queued replies, sync, all in one place.

People — your match list

Every match you've ever had, searchable and filterable. This is where you go when you want to browse rather than work the stack.

  • Search and filter — name, bio keywords, stage, distance, Affinity Score thresholds, who replied, who ghosted, who unmatched.
  • Sync menu (top right) — pull fresh data from Tinder, run profile-detail captures, score matches. See Syncing matches.
  • Click any match to open their detail panel with conversation, profile read, drafts, and the Coach in scope on them.
  • Bulk actions — message multiple matches at once, move several to a stage, etc.

Brain — what teaches the AI

Everything that tunes how DateIQ behaves on your behalf.

  • Voice — Vibe, Humor, Edge, Formality sliders plus presets. See Voice Sliders Explained.
  • Match preferences — Train, Edit, and Score buttons. This is where you teach DateIQ your taste. See Training the Wingman.
  • Reply style — pending thumbs feedback on drafts; the Extract preferences button consolidates it into voice notes.
  • Swipe profiles — saved auto-swipe configurations (location, filters, AI gate, Wingman influence).
  • Active-time scheduler — when auto-swipe is allowed to run.

If something feels off about how DateIQ writes or who it ranks high, the fix is almost always in Brain.

Settings — the boring-but-important stuff

Account, plan, location override, automation consent gates, danger-zone actions.

  • Account — sign out, delete account, plan/billing link.
  • Location — set any GPS coordinates and match in that city before you land.
  • Automation consent — opt in (or out) of the fully-automated send modes. See AI Reply for what these gate.
  • Privacy controls — see Data & Privacy.

The Coach — accessible from anywhere

The Coach dock floats above the tabs. Click the Dante icon any time to open a chat with full context on whichever match you have selected. See How the AI Coach Works.

Workflow tldr

For most users, a productive session looks like:

  1. Glance at Wingman → Next Action. Work the top three cards.
  2. Pop into People if you want to check on a specific match or browse.
  3. Open the Coach when a thread needs real thought.
  4. Visit Brain every few weeks to retune preferences as your taste sharpens.
  5. Settings only when something specific needs changing.
