PredispositionsWhen Zooskers succeed in finding stable relationships, they leave Zoosk. When Zooskers think they won’t find the relationship they’re looking for, they also leave Zoosk.
People often want to know if they’re doing the “right thing” in the various situations that develop their romantic relationships.
Bad experiences aren’t always bad – sometimes they set the stage for good ones.
ResearchZoosk is different because it looks at what you do, not what you say you want. We want to leverage this strength and expand it in to other areas.
Zoosk already has suggested messages and recommends shared topics of conversation
When you’re talking to someone, you don’t want Zoosk in the way, you want it to facilitate.
Deactivating Zoosk account is a sign of commitment in a new relationship.
Design PrinciplesSuggestions need to be personal and contextual
It can't be too obvious If all the guys send the exact same messages it won't work
Its not about perfection, its about opportunities Our design goals isn't designed so people can misrepresent themselves (with the help of the chat assistant you sound funny and cool online, but in person you are not) Its about presenting who you are in a way that allows opportunities to happen.
Our DesignWe propose a separate app, Alfred, that integrates closely with Zoosk that relies on intelligence and context from behavior tracking.
Our Focus
Why we focused on dating?
• Quitting Zoosk is a sign of relationship commitment for many users. We want our design to intervene at this point so users continue to use Zoosk's new app for the first date, and as they continue dating
• To improve dating make each date better

women like being treated well on dates so they keep using Zoosk and recommend it to their friends
How it Works with ZooskWe drew inspiration from Facebook / Messenger
The apps work great together and link to each other with single tap, but each can be used seperately

Meet Connor 22 years oldSenior, EconomicsBloomington, Indiana
Connor doesn’t say much. He can come off as cold, but people more often find him mysterious. Once people get to know him – he is warm and friendly, but it doesn’t translate well when he’s on Zoosk or on first dates.
The women he messages on Zoosk usually don't respond, and when they do, the conversation often dead-ends. He isn't sure how to handle first dates and isn't sure what he can do to make girls feel comfortable.
He is starting to feel like a loser, and doesn’t want to be embarrassed when he talks with girls online and wants more opportunities for girls to get to know him.
Scenario
Connor’s got a date! He’d been experimenting with Zoosk’s new Alfred app for a while now, hoping to improve his dismal response rate. Not only did he get a response, but they chatted for a few days, and tonight’s their first date.
He made reservations at Bon Humour for Friday night.
Conner's phone vibrates with a notification.
"Want to pick up flowers?"
He never thought about getting flowers for a first date. Good idea, maybe next time.

Alfred Notification from Alfred.
He can swipe the notification to see maps of flower shops and tips for selecting flowers. Or buy flowers directly within the app.
He meets Mira at the restaurant at 7 pm. He goes in to the restaurant and finds out he booked the wrong date.
How could he have been so stupid? He finally gets a date, and this happens.
She looks unimpressed, and takes out her phone, probably to...wait a minute, phone!
Freaking out, He takes out his phone and swipes up on the lock screen to find other date options.
