Stop swiping and start listening. If you’ve ever felt like Tinder, Hinge, or Bumble are designed to keep you scrolling rather than falling in love—you’re right.

In this special Valentine's week episode of 10xAI, Julius Neil sits down with Eric McHugh, the visionary founder behind Dating, the world’s first AI-powered matchmaking service that is actively trying to kill "Swipe Fatigue."

Eric reveals the dark side of the dating app economy, explaining how "churn marketing" incentivizes big apps to keep you from finding "The One" to protect their bottom line. But what happens when you replace addictive UX with an AI "Relationship Butler" named Cupid?

In this episode, we dive into:

• The "Black Shirt & Android" Theory: How AI finds patterns in compatibility that the human brain completely misses.
• The Death of the Swipe: Why spending 5 hours a week on dating apps is a massive opportunity cost for your business and your body.
• AI as a Couples Therapist: How Cupid uses data from your Spotify, Pinterest, and even your arguments to save your relationship before it starts.
• The End of Bots: How connecting 10+ data sources is making catfishing and bot accounts a thing of the past.

Is AI the end of human intuition, or is it the secret weapon we need to restore monogamy in a digital world?

"Tinder makes money when you're searching; we make money when you're actually on the date."

Takeaways

• AI can enhance matchmaking by focusing on compatibility rather than superficial traits.
• Swipe fatigue indicates a misalignment of incentives in traditional dating apps.
• Cupid acts as a relationship assistant, not just a matchmaker.
• The dating ecosystem should support users before and after matches.
• Authenticity is crucial in attracting the right partner.
• AI can help identify patterns in relationships but cannot replace human intuition.
• The responsibility of tech founders is to create positive user experiences.
• Users are looking for meaningful connections, not just matches.
• AI can amplify consciousness patterns, leading to healthier relationships.
• The ultimate goal of Cupid is to create happy families.

Is your wealth advisor actually working for you, or just collecting a percentage of your hard-earned money?

In this episode of 10xAI, host Julius Neil sits down with Priyanshi Gupta, co-founder of Alphanso Wealth, to discuss the fundamental shift in how the new generation manages money. Priyanshi shares her journey from building dashboards at DataDog to creating an AI-driven wealth platform that analyzes 2 million data points daily—all without requiring you to move a single cent out of your current accounts.

• The Death of the AUM Model: Why millennials are ditching traditional advisors who take a cut of their assets for a transparent, subscription-based AI model.
• Data vs. Control: How Alphanso provides "accessible wealth management" by connecting to your existing 401ks, Robinhood, and Fidelity accounts to give you a holistic view of your net worth.
• The "Human in the Loop": Why AI can rank stocks and harvest tax losses, but human trust remains the "irreplaceable" factor in financial planning.
• Smart Tax Strategies: Real-world examples of how AI surfaced $3,000 in annual savings through muni-bonds and predicted tax penalties before they happened.
• Beyond Stock Picking: How "Stock Ranking" and "Embeddings" help diversify portfolios by identifying hidden correlations between seemingly different assets.

Whether you’re navigating RSUs, planning for a first home, or looking to optimize your tax strategy, this episode is a masterclass in amplifying your financial future with AI.

Takeaways

• Are people ready to trust AI completely for their wealth?
• A human in the loop is absolutely necessary.
• They build that relationship with the client.
• That human then goes back and puts in into the AI model.
• Having that human in the loop has definitely helped us serve our clients much better.
