2 Sisters Create AI-Powered Relationship Adviser for Young Women

    Sisters Balia Mudgil and Sumrin Mudgil have created an AI-powered relationship advice service for young women called Hot Girl Hotline. The app aims to keep conversations about dating and personal relationships safer than they are with general-purpose chatbots. Created in New York, the service is currently available through an iOS app and on the web.    Hot Girl Hotline is not an AI companion with which the user is expected to form an emotional bond. Its advice is based on scientific approaches to studying human behavior, and conversations have the tone of talking to a trusted friend. Rather than providing ready-made answers, the system asks questions. This encourages users to understand the reasons behind their own decisions. The service does not replace talking to a real person or receiving professional clinical advice.    The developers took into account that discussing personal matters with general-purpose chatbots could pose risks for psychologically vulnerable people. If signs of danger are detected during a conversation, the user is directed to sources of help such as the 988 crisis line in the U.S. The AI does not intentionally prolong the conversation and ends it at an appropriate time. The goal is for users to take action in real life rather than dwell endlessly on the problem.    The app tailors its advice to the user’s values, goals, identity, and preferences. The service works with several AI models. Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. According to the company, user data is not sold or used to train models. The requirement not to retain data also remains in effect when a query is sent to an external AI model.    Hot Girl Hotline plans to generate revenue through a monthly subscription costing $9.99 (approximately 17 manats). The most active users, numbering in the 100s, are already paying the subscription fee. Advertising may also be added to the service in the future. For now, the project is funded by the founders’ own money. After relationship advice, the team is also considering expanding into beauty and lifestyle topics.
