Help us build something
worth trusting

Hi there — thank you so much for taking the time to complete this short survey. Your response is genuinely valuable to us and will directly shape what we build.

We are building a new kind of dating experience — one where your voice and character speak first, not your photo. Before two people ever exchange a name or number, they go through a journey built entirely around trust, values, and authentic connection.

There are no right or wrong answers. Please be completely honest.

Completely anonymous.  We do not collect your name or any identifying information.

Question 01
How private are you when it comes to your personal life online?
Question 02
Imagine a dating experience that works like this. How does this journey make you feel?
No photos. No profiles. No names. Just voice, character, and trust — in five steps.
1
You speak. They speak. AI listens.
You record a voice note about who you are — your values, personality, what you are looking for. The other person does the same independently. Our AI matches you behind the scenes based on character and compatibility. You never hear each other at this stage.
2
Trust step
Both of you complete a trust verification — chosen from the options below — before anything is revealed.
3
Guided voice conversations
AI-facilitated conversations around values, intentions, and dealbreakers. Still fully anonymous.
4
First name only
Mutual consent to share first names. No photos required at any stage.
5
Meet or connect
Agree to meet in person or exchange numbers. You decide the next step together.
Question 03
Before meeting someone, which trust options would you feel most comfortable completing?
Pick your top 3.

Is there anything else that would make you feel truly comfortable and safe? We would love to hear your ideas.
Question 05
After your voice conversations, what would you prefer as your next step?
🤝
Meet in person first
Arrange a public meeting before sharing any contact details
📱
Exchange numbers
Move to WhatsApp or a call off the app
✦

I am comfortable with both options
🎙️
More voice first

☕

Question 06
Would you be open to a one-time identity verification before your first match?

To protect everyone on the platform, we are considering using Persona — a trusted identity verification service used by major financial institutions worldwide. It confirms you are a real person using your government ID and a selfie. Your documents are never stored by Veilful and are never shared with other users. It takes under two minutes and is a one-time process only.

Question 07
Which option would stop you from using the app entirely?
Question 08
What would make you genuinely trust someone you met online?
Any final thoughts — on what is missing from dating apps today, what Veilful should prioritise, or anything else on your mind.
