Launching Kinetic Mingle March 24, 2026: Video-first dating app to eliminate catfishing

Hey Product Hunt! I'm the founder of Kinetic Mingle, I've been looking at threads here for a while and figured it's time to say hi!

What I Built

Kinetic Mingle is a video-first dating platform for adults 21+. We focus and lead with the the personal interaction part of online dating. It's front and center of our platform. Instead of static photos, filtered glamor shots and robotic swiping, users connect directly through video chat, video messaging, voice notes, and verified profiles. Our AI coaching assistant is a highlight feature. It uses adaptive learning tailored to individual user activity. You get your own personalized AI agent. Its a real gem!

The Problem I'm Solving

Traditional dating apps are predominantly saturated with fake, inactive profiles. Dating apps have not significantly evolved within the last decade. I got tired outdated dating platforms...no pun intended. I got tired of of swiping on profiles that turned out to be fake, outdated, or heavily filtered. After one too many catfish experiences, I asked: How can dating apps advance with technology and provide the best interactive experience in the process. Kinetic Mingle saves time BEFORE you waste time?

Why Video-First?

• You see the real person immediately

• Chemistry is easier to gauge than through text

• Scammers/cat-fishers AVOID video

Launching on Product Hunt on March 24, 2026! Currently fine tuning the details. I would love ANY Feedback from the PH community.
