This Vancouver startup is rethinking dating with a little help from AI

A new Vancouver startup has a different idea for finding your next connection.

Instead of asking you to judge potential matches based on just a few photos and a short bio, True Resonance wants to get to know you first.

The AI-powered matchmaking platform is taking a more personal approach to dating, putting real conversations ahead of endless swiping and scrolling.  And at the heart of it all is Resona, an AI matchmaker who gradually learns about your personality, values, lifestyle, and relationship goals.

Here’s a closer look.

Get to know you first

Finding the right connection isn’t always as simple as knowing what you want. Sometimes, the things we look for in a relationship can pull in different directions.

Maybe you want a relationship that feels exciting and spontaneous, but you also need consistency and security. Maybe your love language is quality time, but you still need a partner who understands when you want a little space.

Through natural conversations, Resona can help you explore how these needs might fit together and what kind of relationship dynamic could suit you best.

Based on these conversations, Resona develops a personalized match strategy, helping you clarify what matters most to you, recognize potential compatibility challenges, and take a more thoughtful approach to finding the right person.

As users continue talking with Resona, her understanding evolves over time, allowing her to refine their the match strategy and future introductions.

Introductions with a reason behind them

When potential matches are identified, True Resonance provides personalized introductions that explain why two people might be a good fit.

But, of course, no algorithm can promise you’ll meet your soulmate! You’ll remain totally in control of who you choose to connect with. The idea is to provide a little more context than a few carefully selected photos can offer.

“Modern dating is optimized for speed, but not for understanding.” says Kate, founder of True Resonacne. “People are far more complex than their dating profiles. We have contradictions, hidden priorities, and needs we don’t always know how to express. We built True Resonance to explore those deeper layers of who we are — because that’s often where meaningful compatibility begins.”​
