Description

Problem statement -- Dating other humans is extremely difficult, Bb is an AI text companion to make curated digital relationships.

• Target audience -- Digital Natives (Gen-Z) singles
• Evidence for the need -- 75% of Gen-Z is single, Tinder has 66M monthly users in 2022, 90% are frustrated with dating apps -- new solutions for dating need to fit users existing lifestyles.

Proposed solution -- Bb will offer customizable AI chat partners to interact with - a lot like Tamagotchi, users will need to take care of their Bb partner to boost relationship interactions.

Impact -- Bb can serve a lonely generation in a familiar medium

• In what ways does this benefit the broader Flow developer ecosystem? -- Flow has exciting projects like sports collectibles, social avatars - relationship gaming can become a new category of digital interaction we have yet to see and Flow can align with Bb to be pioneers.

thanks for the submission @adamtoowavy. it's unclear how this project would have a direct impact on the productivity of developers building on Flow. Our grants program is not a good fit for this project.

wishing you all the best with this project!
