What is AI marriage
There are many types of wedding services.
There are a wide variety of ways to find a match, such as using a matchmaking agency, a matchmaking party, and a matching app where advisors provide personal support. However, it is difficult to find a lifelong partner who will continue to date until marriage.
AI matchmaking refers to a matchmaking service that uses AI ( artificial intelligence ). This service differs from conventional marriage agencies in that it uses AI technology to suggest suitable partners without going through human suggestions.
Mechanism of AI matchmaking
Next, let’s take a look at how AI matchmaking works.
Here, let’s take a look at the mechanism of AI matchmaking, taking sieger , one of the AI matchmaking services, as an example.
AI learns past marriage cases
Using Siegel, AI learns the data of pairs who have married in the past. The data includes the introductory text, annual income, hobbies, and occupation that the user registered when joining, as well as expectations for married life.
Based on the data, AI builds a matching algorithm.
AI analyzes personal information
AI analyzes the information you entered when you registered with Siegel. Unlike manual analysis, AI-based analysis quantifies and handles user data such as annual income, hobbies, and occupation.
Therefore, in AI analysis, there is no “ambiguity in data interpretation” that cannot be avoided in human analysis.
AI suggests suitable partners
Combining past marriage record data and your information, we will present multiple partners judged to be compatible by AI.
Matching accuracy is high because the desired conditions you registered with Siegel are also taken into account.
Advantages of AI matchmaking
Now that you have deepened your knowledge of “matchmaking services using AI,” let’s dig deeper into the benefits of AI matchmaking. Here are the two benefits:
- Reduce time spent on marriage
- high matching accuracy
I will explain each.
1. Shortening the time spent on marriage hunting
One of the benefits of AI marriage is the reduction of time spent on marriage.
When using a matchmaking party or matching app to get married, the process of “choosing a partner” is inevitable.
This process can be omitted by having AI select and propose a partner on your behalf.
In addition, AI will take less time to propose matching than an adviser at a marriage agency, so you can find a compatible partner more smoothly than in a normal matchmaking.
2. High accuracy of matching
High accuracy is also an advantage of AI marriage.
The problem with conventional marriage agency advisors is that the accuracy of referrals varies depending on the number of years and ability of each individual.
With AI performing everything from profile processing to proposals, it is possible to introduce with high accuracy.
Also, based on past marriage cases, AI proposes a partner who has the same values as each other, so the possibility of continuing dating until marriage is higher than in normal marriage hunting.
The element of matching values is listed as a high-ranking factor when choosing a marriage partner.
Disadvantages of AI matchmaking
While there are merits in “matchmaking services using AI”, what are the demerits? The disadvantages of AI marriage are as follows.
- Lack of detailed support
- I don’t understand people’s emotions
I will explain each.
1. Lack of detailed support
One of the disadvantages of AI marriage is that you cannot receive detailed support.
In the case of AI matchmaking, it will proceed smoothly until the proposal of a compatible partner. However, you cannot receive detailed support from an advisor like a marriage agency.
Specifically, there is no support for setting up a date after matching, support for clothes, makeup, advice on conversation, etc.
For those who have no dating experience or who are extremely shy, it will be a big disadvantage.
2. I don’t understand people’s emotions
Even if the proposal by AI has progressed to dating, it is possible that there will be a sense of incompatibility that cannot be comprehended by AI.
If you have an advisor, like a marriage agency, you can provide appropriate support for feelings and worries that arise as you progress in a relationship, but AI cannot.
Opinion on AI marriage | “I’m curious, but what is it really like? ? 』
Many people would like to know the reputation of AI matchmaking. Therefore, here we will introduce the opinions of people who have actually used AI marriage.
AI matchmaking has been progressing steadily so far…! ! I wasn’t very lucky because of work, marriage, and private life…!
It seems that my friend’s sister-in-law got married using AI matchmaking.
There was also an opinion that marriage is proceeding smoothly with AI marriage, and some people said that acquaintances got married using AI marriage.
Many people may have a bad image of AI marriage, but there are cases where they have been married by using AI marriage. So if in doubt, use it.

What is the municipal AI matchmaking service?
Introducing the AI matchmaking service of the municipality.
As part of measures against the declining birthrate in Japan, each municipality has provided various support for marriage hunting. And AI matchmaking services have been attracting attention in recent years.
As a countermeasure against the declining birthrate in 2021, the Japanese government has announced that it will bear 2/3 of the cost of introducing AI marriage hunting for local governments.
Attention is being paid to what kind of effect the introduction of AI matchmaking services in this municipality will have in the future as a countermeasure against the declining birthrate.
Introducing municipalities with AI matchmaking services
Introducing municipalities that have introduced AI matchmaking services.
- Kanto region
- Kansai region
I will introduce it by dividing it into two regions.
Kanto region
The first is the Kanto region. I think there are many people who are wondering whether AI matchmaking services have been introduced in Tokyo, but unfortunately there are no marriage agencies in Tokyo that incorporate AI matching systems.
Here, I will introduce Ibaraki and Saitama.
Ibaraki
Ibaraki Prefecture’s AI matchmaking service is called Ibaraki Encounter Support Center “Deaiba”, and two types of matchmaking support projects, matching services and matchmaking events, are being carried out.
Based on the results of the value diagnosis test (EQ assessment), AI introduces a compatible partner.
Saitama
Saitama Prefecture’s AI matchmaking service is “Koitama”. We support marriage-hunting business in two types: matching and marriage-hunting events and seminars.
We are doing AI marriage activities that introduce compatible people from diagnostic data of value diagnostic tests (EQ assessment) and past dating and marriage cases.
Kansai region
Next, I will introduce the Kansai region. In Osaka, there is currently no such thing as the Osaka Dating Support Center, which is mainly run by local governments.
Yamaguchi
Yamaguchi Prefecture’s AI matchmaking service is “Yamaguchi Marriage Center”. We have two types of marriage support projects: matching and matchmaking events.
In the matching system, AI marriage activities that introduce a compatible partner by utilizing big data of member activity history are carried out.
Hyogo
Hyogo’s AI matchmaking service is “GO to meet! HYOUGO!” We provide marriage support through two services: paid matchmaking members (Habatan members) and free event members (Aisapo members).
In addition, as of June 2022, 1955 couples have been married.
Marriage-hunting using AI will be major in the futurebecome?
Tapple Co., Ltd. said, “ In 2021, the online love and matchmaking service market will increase by 23% year-on-year to 76.8 billion yen. I predict.
Matchmaking app services that take advantage of AI technology will increase more and more, and accuracy will improve as data accumulates.
The same is true for marriage-hunting services that utilize AI provided by local governments.
The Cabinet Office is supporting local governments that are working on marriage with subsidies for the priority promotion of countermeasures against the declining birthrate.
According to the outline of the fiscal 2021 local subsidy for the promotion of countermeasures against the declining birthrate , one of the priority projects is the sophistication of the matching system, including AI.
As a result, further expansion of AI-based services provided by local governments is expected.
summary
This time, we have explained in detail about the “matchmaking service using AI”. How was that.
Matchmaking services are still expanding and becoming more familiar. Matchmaking services using AI will continue to evolve, and the number of users should continue to increase.
Also, if you are considering starting AI marriage, it is a good idea to refer to the recommended apps and local government services based on the advantages and disadvantages introduced this time.
