Frequently asked questions.
How BiggDate works, what makes it different, and how Maahi builds your Soul Profile.
What is BiggDate?
BiggDate is an AI-led dating app for adults who want a serious relationship. Instead of a swipe feed, an AI relationship profiler named Maahi runs a roughly 20-minute conversation that builds a psychological profile (attachment style, conflict pattern, love languages, dealbreakers), then sends up to 5 curated matches a day. It is India-first, based in Ahmedabad, and also available in the UAE and the US.
How is BiggDate different from Bumble, Tinder, and Hinge?
BiggDate replaces the swipe feed with up to 5 curated matches a day and opens contact through a Soul Knock — both people answer a question for each other before a chat opens. Bumble, Tinder and Hinge are photo-led feeds that have added AI helpers; BiggDate starts from a roughly 20-minute AI conversation that derives attachment style, love language and conflict pattern.
Is BiggDate free?
Yes, during early access. Joining is free, and the free tier includes onboarding with Maahi, your Soul Profile and up to 5 curated matches a day. Premium raises the daily allowances for Soul Knocks and Maahi conversations; during early access it is unlocked with an access code (email meet@biggventures.com). Paid plans will launch later, with prices published before anyone is charged.
How long does BiggDate onboarding take?
About 20 minutes in total, once. Account creation takes under a minute. Onboarding with Maahi has two parts: quick-tap basic facts (location, birthday, gender, who you want to meet, age range, intent, lifestyle), then a deeper conversation about relationship history, conflict, love languages and dealbreakers, with follow-ups when an answer is thin.
What is the Soul Profile?
It's the structured psychological profile BiggDate builds from your onboarding conversation. It includes attachment style (Secure / Anxious / Avoidant / Fearful-Avoidant), conflict style, love language given vs received, core values, growth areas, dealbreakers, and a written summary of who you are emotionally.
What is a Soul Knock?
BiggDate's intent-based way to start contact. To start a conversation with a match, you send them a question. They answer it and send one back; once you have both answered, the chat opens. Photos aren't part of the match card, so interest is based on the person rather than a split-second look. Soul Knocks have a small daily allowance so each one is deliberate.
Who is Maahi?
Maahi is BiggDate's AI relationship profiler and companion — software, not a person or a therapist. She runs on Google Gemini (with OpenAI as an optional fallback) with custom prompting and per-user memory. She runs your onboarding conversation, helps with post-date debriefs, and is available between dates. She never chats with your matches or sends anything on your behalf.
Is BiggDate for casual dating or hookups?
No. BiggDate is built for users who want a real relationship — marriage-track, ready for real love, or seriously exploring. The depth of onboarding self-selects users who are willing to invest in something deliberate. If you want quick casual matches, other apps will serve you better.
Is BiggDate available outside India?
Yes. BiggDate is India-first (based in Ahmedabad, with onboarding that understands India-specific questions) and is also available in the UAE and the US, in English. It is not currently offered in the EU/EEA, the UK or Switzerland. You must be 18 or older.
Is my data safe on BiggDate?
BiggDate is built to meet India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we do not sell user data to advertisers or data brokers. Maahi conversations are processed by our AI providers under their API terms to generate replies and build your profile; the Privacy Policy lists every processor. You can delete your account from Settings; the Privacy Policy explains the deletion window and the limited records we must keep by law.
How does BiggDate prevent fake profiles?
Contact only starts through a Soul Knock, so a fake account can't message anyone without effort. We run automated NSFW, weapon and minor detection on every uploaded photo. There is an optional Pink Tick verification badge that requires manual review of a LinkedIn URL plus a selfie. You can report and block any member.
What is the minimum age to use BiggDate?
18 years old. Age confirmation is required at signup, and BiggDate does not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we discover a minor account, it is removed immediately.
What attachment styles does BiggDate recognize?
BiggDate uses the four-style framework: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, and Fearful-Avoidant (sometimes called Disorganized). Maahi infers your style from how you describe past relationships, conflict moments, and how you give and receive care — never from a self-report quiz.
Can I edit my Soul Profile after onboarding?
Yes. You can edit basic facts (location, work, lifestyle, photos, partner preferences) anytime from Settings. The psychological profile (attachment style, growth areas, summary) is derived from your conversation with Maahi and is updated as you continue talking to her over time.
How does BiggDate make money?
BiggDate is free during early access. Once paid plans launch, it will earn money from subscriptions. BiggDate does not run ads, sell user data, or rely on engagement-bait mechanics like "who liked you" reveals.
How do I cancel my subscription?
There is nothing to cancel during early access: no one is charged. Once paid plans launch, you will be able to manage or cancel your subscription from Settings; cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid period, and refunds will follow the consumer law that applies to you.
