Questions, answered.

Yes. Nonna Picks is an AI matchmaker for singles. It scores real compatibility across a 99-question quiz spanning seven fit dimensions — values, life vision, family, money, lifestyle, emotional connection, and growth — then surfaces your highest-fit matches so you know why you match before you say hello. Then Nonna runs in-person singles events (Match Nights) where the app shows you who in the room you're AI-matched with.

Nonna Picks is the AI matchmaker for singles — an inclusive dating app that AI-matches people on real compatibility across seven fit dimensions and runs local singles events so your matches actually meet in person. Available in NYC, Chicago, Miami, Houston, SF, and LA.

Every member answers a 99-question compatibility quiz across values, lifestyle, and personality. Nonna's model scores you against every other member on the seven fit dimensions that actually predict a lasting relationship and ranks the strongest matches. Every profile you see shows the real per-dimension match score, so you know why you match before you say hello.

Three things. First, it's an AI matchmaker — matches are scored on a 99-question compatibility model across seven fit dimensions, not on a split-second reaction to a photo. Second, it's curated — you get a ranked short list, not a bottomless feed. Third, it runs real singles events where your AI-matched people actually show up. Most apps profit from your screen time. Nonna profits when you find someone worth putting the phone down for.

Inclusive by design — every gender, orientation, relationship goal, cultural background. If you're serious about meeting someone actually worth your time, you're Nonna's people.

No. Nonna Picks is an inclusive dating app for singles of every race, religion, nationality, culture, and background — and every gender and orientation. The name comes from Nonna, the matchmaker persona who picks your matches (and the "Nonna Nights" event series), not from any one culture or faith. Religion, culture, ethnicity and nationality are optional filters you can use if they matter to you — never defaults, never gates. It is not a religion-specific or single-culture dating app.

For serious singles first. Everything is optimized for compatibility-based introductions and in-person meetings — the pattern that predicts real relationships. If you're purely looking for something casual, swipe apps do that better. If you want to meet people who actually fit you, that's Nonna.

Both — Nonna Picks is an AI matchmaker delivered as a dating app. Traditional matchmakers charge $5,000–$100,000+ in NYC for a human to hand-pick a few introductions. Nonna does that curation part automatically: it scores your compatibility with every other member across 99 questions, ranks your best-fit introductions, and gets you meeting them at real events. Same core job, no five-figure fee.

Traditional NYC matchmakers typically run about $5,000 at the entry level to $50,000+ for boutique services, and elite firms can pass $100,000. Most packages are paid up front, non-refundable, and pay for a set number of introductions — not an outcome. Nonna Picks does the same core work — real compatibility scoring, curated introductions, in-person events — for free. Full breakdown on the blog.

For the core job — filtering a huge pool down to the few people who actually fit you — an AI matchmaker is faster, cheaper, and works at the scale of a whole city. What a great human matchmaker adds is judgment, coaching, and hand-holding. Nonna Picks handles the compatibility curation and the in-person introductions. If you also want a live coach, hire one — but you don't need to pay five figures just to get good matches.

Tap “Create your free account,” answer a few questions about you, and Nonna starts scoring compatibility right away. You can stop after part one — your matches already work — and finish the rest whenever.

Not yet — Nonna runs in your browser and installs to your home screen like an app, if you want it there. Native iPhone and Android apps are on the way. Whichever way you sign up, everything works the same.

Nonna Picks is live in New York, Chicago, Miami, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. New York is where events run most often; other cities have matching now, with events rolling out as the local member base grows.

Three short sections covering values & relationship vision, life foundations, and personality & communication. You can stop after Part 1 — your matches already work. Parts 2 & 3 make your scores more accurate over time.

By actual fit, not just proximity. Nonna scores every potential match against your quiz answers across seven dimensions — values, life vision, family, money, lifestyle, emotional connection, and growth — and surfaces the ones who score highest.

Yes. Curated picks are the highlight, but you can browse compatible profiles in your area anytime. Your call.

Skip them. Nothing on Nonna Picks is forced — no penalty for passing, no algorithm punishing you for being picky. Browse other compatible profiles or wait for the next round.

A short pop quiz? No — those are entertainment. Nonna's 99-question model is different: it covers seven dimensions that consistently show up in lasting relationships (shared values, life vision, family, money, lifestyle, emotional connection, and growth) and it shows you exactly which dimensions overlap with each match, so you can judge the fit for yourself instead of trusting a single “match %” number.

Part 1 is about 10 minutes and gets your matches working. Parts 2 and 3 add more depth and can be finished any time — most people do them in 5-minute bursts across a few days. Your progress saves automatically.

Yes. Joining, matching, and messaging are free for founding members — and founding members keep every premium feature free for life.

Founding Members are the first people to join Nonna Picks in each city, complete their profile and answer the compatibility quiz. Open to everyone. Founding Members keep every premium feature Nonna ever ships, free for life. No small print, no expiring anniversary.

Every member can verify with a live selfie and earn a verified badge, so you know a real person is behind the profile. Reports get reviewed by a human moderator, not a form-letter bot.

One-tap block and report from any profile or chat. Blocking is instant and mutual — they can't see you or contact you again. Nonna's rules on harassment are strict, and human moderators enforce them.

Encrypted in transit and at rest. Nonna never sells your data. You can export or delete your account (and everything in it) anytime from settings, or by emailing hello@nonnapicks.com.

Safety is built in as a feature, not a footnote. Members verify with a live selfie, messaging only opens after a mutual match, block and report are one tap from any profile or chat, and every report is reviewed by a human. Events run in public venues with hosts present, and anyone you have blocked is kept away from events you attend.

No. Conversations open only after a mutual match, so nobody can cold-message you. If someone you matched with crosses a line, block them — it is instant and works both ways.

No. Nonna Picks is for intentional dating — people who want a real relationship. Matching is by compatibility across values, lifestyle and personality, not by looks-first swiping, and our copy, events and community rules are built to keep it that way.

Yes, and many people do. Every event is held in a public venue with hosts on site to help. We recommend the same basics as any first meeting: tell a friend where you are going, arrange your own way home, and find a host if anything feels off.

Do not send anything, and report them from the ⋯ menu on their profile or chat. Requests for money, gift cards, crypto or 'investment help' are scams, no matter the story. Reports are confidential and reviewed by our team.

No. Anyone you have blocked is kept away from events you attend, and members we remove for breaking the rules cannot attend at all.

Small-scale singles nights in your city — dinners, walks, game nights, and hosted meetups where the ratio is intentional and your matches actually show up. Events are free for members. The next one is on the events page.

You RSVP through the app, arrive at the venue, and Nonna shows you a private list of the people in the room you're AI-matched with — and by how much. You can walk up, or use the app to flag interest first. Small-scale, curated, and the format is meant to feel like a fun night out — not a job interview.

Not at all. Come solo or bring a single friend — the app's match view is per-person, so you both get your own list. If your friend isn't a member yet, ask them to sign up and take the quiz so they can see who they're compatible with too.

No. Speed dating is fast rotations and short awkward intros with strangers. A Nonna Match Night is a normal social evening where the app quietly tells you which people in the room you're actually compatible with — so you can skip the guessing and just talk to the right people.

We work to keep events balanced — as an event fills up, RSVPs on the over-represented side may pause so the ratio stays even. If a specific event is out of balance we'll flag it on the event page before you RSVP.

Yes for members — RSVP is free. The optional add-on is a $4.99 unlock that reveals your top compatibility scores for the people at that specific event, or you can unlock it for free by sharing the event on X or TikTok.

Email hello@nonnapicks.com — a real person reads every message, usually within 24 hours. For urgent safety concerns during an event, the host on the ground is your first call.
