🧬 About EchoSim & Simulation Dating

How does simulation-first dating work?
Instead of swiping and exchanging dry small talk, your Echo goes on multiple, unexpected background micro-dates with another user's Echo. This is performed via a 3-step dynamic alignment flow:
1
Mutual Match: Triggered when both users show interest in the matching feed.
2
Sandboxed Pre-Simulation: Echoes hold deep, private dates exploring various scenarios.
3
Match Report & Chat: Read the full replay. You only chat in real-life if chemistry is proven.
Can my Echo go on dates without my permission?

No. Your Echo only initiates simulated dating sandboxes when a mutual match is triggered in the matching feed. You retain complete, absolute control over which profiles your Echo interacts with.

What is an "Echo"?

An Echo is your private, secure AI twin trained on your natural communication style, values, preferences, and boundary preferences. It represents your genuine personality accurately in background sandboxed scenarios.

How does my Echo learn my personality?

During onboarding, you complete a series of conversational Guided Onboarding chats and baseline questions. These capture your natural greetings, sentence tempos, favorite humor styles, and core dealbreakers.

Is my Echo a generic chatbot?

No. Unlike standard corporate chatbots, your Echo uses personalized parameters locally configured on your profile. It acts as an organic representation of your thoughts, responding with your unique linguistic pacing, emoji preferences, and values.

What is the difference between EchoSim and traditional swiping apps?

Traditional apps profit from keeping you swiping endlessly. EchoSim bypasses swiping fatigue entirely by letting your Echo handle the time-consuming, low-signal early messaging phase, filtering out incompatible matches automatically.

Does EchoSim solve ghosting and dating fatigue?

Yes. Because only matches who share proven psychological depth and value resonance are unlocked for manual chatting, every real-world conversation you start is already pre-validated, virtually eliminating ghosting and messaging burnout.

What is a "Spark Meter"?

The Spark Meter is a visual compatibility rating shown on your Match Report, representing the depth of chemistry, value resonance, and conversational alignment analyzed between your two Echoes during simulated dates.

Can I watch two AIs date?

Yes! You can read the complete dynamic transcripts of simulated date replays. It lets you discover how they talked, what they argued about, and where they connected before making a manual decision.

⚙️ Managing Your Echo & Settings

How do I train my Echo?
To ensure your Echo accurately represents your unique style and values, training is broken down into 3 simple, guided onboarding steps:
1
Answer Baseline Questions: Define your general conversational style, texting tone, and greetings.
2
Select Story-Rich Prompts: Provide descriptive prompt answers that showcase your hobbies and memories.
3
Engage in Guided Discovery: Participate in a dynamic onboarding chat that dynamically maps your dealbreakers.
What are Baseline Questions?

Baseline Questions are highly engaging prompts completed during setup that capture your specific texting habits, favorite conversation starters, and how you naturally navigate small talk.

Can I edit my Echo's opinions and values later?

Yes, absolutely. You can access your Echo's settings at any time from your Profile menu to edit your answers, toggle dealbreakers, or update your compatibility preferences.

What is "Response Pacing"?

Response Pacing is a customizable parameter that governs the texting tempo of your Echo. This ensures its conversational flow matches your organic real-world texting patterns instead of responding instantly.

How do I fine-tune my Echo's conversational tempo?

Under Echo settings -> Response Pacing, you can choose whether your Echo replies with high thoughtfulness (longer delays) or lighthearted immediacy, allowing full control over relational tempo.

Can I delete or reset my Echo's memory?

Yes. You can reset your Echo's memory bank or delete its personality vectors entirely from your Me page -> ⚙️ Settings icon on the top right -> Reset Echo. This lets you rebuild your twin from scratch.

How do I select prompts that train my Echo best?

Select prompts that ask for personal stories (e.g., "I once spent 3 weeks in Japan...") rather than simple answers. Stories provide your Echo with rich, unique memory contexts for simulated dates.

Does my Echo copy my exact style of texting?

Yes, it adapts to your punctuation preferences, sentence structures, emoji selections, and overall conversational casualness to sound exactly like you.

How often should I update my Echo's preferences?

We recommend updating your preferences whenever your real-world relationship values, career pathways, or lifestyle requirements undergo significant changes.

What happens if my real-world preferences change?

Simply update your preferences inside the editor. Your Echo's database updates instantly, and all future simulated dates will reflect your newly set priorities.

💬 Matching & Simulated Dates

How do simulated dates actually run?
When a mutual match occurs, our background simulator spins up a private dating session, running through 3 clean stages:
1
Contextual Setting: The simulator picks a unique, engaging dating scenario (e.g. coffee, hiking, travel).
2
Interactive Dialogue: Echoes communicate locally, exploring values, humor compatibility, and conversational depth.
3
Settle & Verify: The compatibility engine rates value resonance, boundaries, and locks/unlocks manual chat.
What are "Chat Replays"?

Chat Replays are interactive text transcripts that show the exact messages, reactions, and dialogue exchanged between your two Echoes during their background dates.

Can I read the full transcript of a simulated date?

Yes, every Match Report includes a fully readable Chat Replay transcript. You can study how they navigated jokes, handled boundaries, and found common ground.

What are "Wild Echoes"?

Wild Echoes are optional virtual companions. They are secure, warm AI personas designed to offer unconditional presence, stable listening, and thoughtful dialogue.

Are Wild Echoes real users?

No. Wild Echoes do not represent any real-world physical users. They are clearly badged with a "Wild Echo" icon to maintain absolute transparency and ethical AI standards.

How does the system determine a compatibility score?

Our compatibility engine analyzes key factors: value resonance, communication patterns, boundaries, and how smoothly conversational topics are balanced during simulated dialogue.

Can I run multiple simulated dates with the same match?

Yes, you can simulate as many times as you want to explore compatibility and see how the connection holds.

What happens when a simulated date is highly successful?

Once your Echoes reach a high-chemistry resonance threshold, your match is unlocked, enabling you and your match to start direct human-to-human messaging.

What if a simulated date fails? Do we still meet?

If a simulated date fails, you can review the transcript to see what went wrong. You can still choose to chat manually, but the pre-simulation acts as a helpful early warning.

🪙 Coins, Subscription & Economy

What are Coins?

Coins are our local-first tokens used to power background AI compute resources. They prevent spam and ensure high-value background simulated dates.

Do I have to pay to run simulations?

No, absolutely not. Every active user receives a daily free coin allowance, which is more than enough to cover standard matches and background simulations.

How do I get free Coins?

You receive them via daily login allowances, profile completion benchmarks, or early access bonuses (new users get 500 free starting coins).

How does the daily free coin allowance work?
To support organic matching and prevent computation waste, free allowance coins follow a simple 3-step cycle:
1
Daily Allowance Refill: Coins refresh automatically every 24 hours.
2
Daily Balance Cap: Allowance coins do not roll over past your account's set free allowance cap.
3
Organic Interaction: Use your allowance daily to matches, maintaining complete, standard pre-simulations.
Do coins expire?

Free daily allowance coins reset every day, but any coin bundles you buy via secure in-app purchases never expire and stay in your wallet permanently.

Can I buy coin bundles?

Yes. If you wish to run dozens of background resets in a single day, you can securely purchase extra coin bundles directly via App Store or Google Play payments.

Are there any hidden fees for matching or texting?

Never. Standard matching, profile edits, and texting with unlocked matches are free to use within your generous daily coin allowances and have absolutely no hidden charges.

🔒 Privacy, Data & Safety

Is my psychological and personal data safe?

Yes, entirely. We utilize a secure, local-first zero-trust architecture. Your personal answers and values are encrypted locally on your device, not sold or exposed.

Where is my Echo's personality data stored?

Your Echo's core parameters are processed locally on your device and securely stored in encrypted, isolated databases protecting against external breaches.

Does EchoSim sell my data to third parties?

Never. We enforce an absolute zero-trust policy. Your psychological profiles, text styles, and conversational vectors are never shared with advertisers.

How does Selfie Verification keep me safe?

By requiring a secure 3D liveness scan, our system automatically blocks bots, scammers, fake catfish accounts, and deepfake profile representations.

What happens to my photos during verification?
To verify identity and prevent catfishing, our face-matching verification flow adheres to 3 strict privacy steps:
1
Biometric Scan: The app securely takes a short, 3D dynamic liveness video selfie.
2
Face Geometry Compare: Our local-first verification matches your selfie biometric signature with your uploaded photos.
3
Instant Deletion: Immediately upon successful validation, the raw 3D video selfie is instantly and permanently destroyed.
Can other users steal my Echo?

No. Your Echo is encrypted and locked to your private account keys. No outside entity can access, copy, or download your AI twin's model state.

How do I report fake profiles or scammers?

If you suspect a profile is fake or breaching safety guidelines, tap the gear icon inside their profile card and select "Report Match" for immediate review.

How do I permanently delete my account and data?
To permanently and irreversibly erase your account, you can proceed through these simple steps:
1
Open Settings: Navigate to your Me page, then tap the ⚙️ Settings icon on the top right.
2
Submit Deletion: Scroll to the very bottom and tap "Delete Account" and confirm. Alternatively, fill out the manual deletion request form on our Help Center Deletion page.
3
Permanent Vector Purge: All models, profiles, chat replays, and AI vectors are permanently erased from our systems within 48 hours.
Does deleting my account delete my Echo's vectors?

Yes, absolutely. Account deletion permanently, irreversibly, and instantly purges your profile, photos, chat replays, and all AI vectors from our databases.

Is EchoSim compliant with local data privacy laws (like GDPR)?

Yes. EchoSim fully complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and strict App Store guidelines, providing robust tools to manage and purge data.
