according to a report by sky news 24 on the 23rd, the system, called tokyo matchmaking, was officially launched on september 20 and is aimed at unmarried people over the age of 18 who live, study or work in tokyo. users must pay 11,000 yen (about 541 yuan) to purchase a two-year license, and also need to undergo multiple certifications, provide proof of income, and be interviewed by system staff.
after successfully logging into the system, users need to undergo a values assessment so that the ai system can match them with people who are more compatible. next, they can get a full range of professional consulting services to solve problems they may encounter throughout the entire process from dating to marriage.
