12:45 PM EDT, 04/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates first paragraph with Amazon's ( AMZN ) confirmation.)

Grindr ( GRND ) is using Amazon ( AMZN ) Web Services' Bedrock platform for generative AI capabilities and other cloud services, Amazon ( AMZN ) confirmed Wednesday in a statement to MT Newswires.

The dating app is also using Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.7 model to power features for its AI-driven Wingman product, Bloomberg reported, citing CEO George Arison.

The app has shifted away from earlier plans to use chatbots from startup Ex-human and is now rolling out a feature called "A-List," which uses AI to surface past connections and summarize chats. The feature will be available to 25% of users by the end of April, Bloomberg reported.

Arison told Bloomberg that Grindr ( GRND ) chose Bedrock in part for data privacy reasons, since the company already stores its data with AWS. He added that Bedrock's support for multiple AI models also made it easier for the team to evaluate different options and ultimately select Anthropic's Claude, which outperformed Ex-human's bot.

Grindr ( GRND ) did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
