INSIDE GRIP'S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ENGINES

The science of matchmaking

Every participant has a unique set of needs. To accommodate for these differences, Grip's AI uses fifteen strategies simultaneously, combining them to deliver improved recommendations. In as little as two seconds, new recommendations are generated, ensuring your participants find their perfect match at your event.

Deep neural network architecture

Grip's AI goes beyond simple tags, and uses a host of AI strategies. Our matchmaking engines use textual information such as summaries and descriptions, actions, and more to deliver advanced recommendations.

Explicit and implicit preference matching

Grip's content and collaborative filtering takes into account what participants explicitly say and how they (and people like them) implicitly behave. Recommendations are then adapted for greater accuracy and ultimate personalization.

Dedicated data scientists

AI is evolving rapidly. Grip employs a team of data scientists to continually improve and adapt Grip's AI strategies in line with the latest trends and techniques.

Matchmaking beyond simple recommendations

Grip recommends people based on mutual interest, just like a dating app. It's not just about who someone wants to meet; it's about who wants to meet them, too. Grip delivers meaningful connections, not just leads.
