Haliey Welch, who rose to fame with her viral “Hawk Tuah” video, has ventured into the tech space by launching Pookie Tools, an AI-driven dating advice app. The app, named after a nickname for her boyfriend, aims to assist Gen Z singles in navigating the complexities of modern dating.
- App Features: Pookie Tools offers an array of features, including conversation starters, dating outfit recommendations, profile optimization tips, and a zodiac compatibility checker. The app also boasts unique tools like the “Bald Predictor” and “Height Detector” to address common dating profile discrepancies.
- AI Integration: The app employs AI technology to provide tailored advice and suggestions, though initial feedback suggests that the chatbot’s responses lack the personalized touch expected from Welch’s brand of humor.
- Controversial Tools: The “Bald Predictor” and “Height Detector” have stirred some controversy, with criticisms that they might reinforce negative stereotypes. Welch insists these features are meant to be fun and lighthearted.
- Subscription Pricing: Pookie Tools is available via a subscription model, costing $7 per week or $50 per year, with a three-day free trial offered to new users.
- Future Enhancements: Welch plans to expand the app’s features by collaborating with notable guests from her podcast, “Talk Tuah,” potentially attracting a broader audience.
