About Harvest
Harvest is a dating app built around values, growth, and community.
Instead of treating a match as the end goal, Harvest brings the different parts of dating into one connected experience: understanding what matters to you, meeting people in shared spaces, forming one-on-one connections, and learning from the relationships you build along the way.
At the center of Harvest are Soil, our research-informed values system, and The Gardener, our built-in generative AI dating coach. Together, they help members understand not only who they may connect with, but what they need from a relationship, how they communicate, and how their values show up in real interactions.
Matching based on what you bring —
and what you need.
Matching based on what you bring — and what you need
Harvest’s Soil assessment looks at relationships from two directions.
What you bring
The values, communication patterns, and relational qualities you tend to bring into a relationship.
What you need
The qualities and ways of relating that matter most to you in a partner.
Looking at both creates a more nuanced picture of compatibility than simply matching people because they share similar traits.
Members can see where their values align, where their relational needs differ, and how those differences may shape a connection.
Connection forms before the match.
Connection forms before the match
Harvest is designed around the idea that people can learn a lot about one another before deciding to connect one-on-one.
The Field gives members community spaces built around relationships, shared experiences, interests, and intentional connection.
Members can participate in conversations, meet people through community spaces, and attend online and in-person Harvest events.
Those interactions create opportunities to discover one another naturally. When two people want to explore a connection more privately, Seeds creates the bridge into one-on-one conversation.
Technology built for what happens after you meet
The Gardener is Harvest’s built-in generative AI dating coach, developed specifically for Harvest using OpenAI models.
Members can have ongoing conversations with The Gardener and privately share dating conversations or screenshots for reflection and analysis.
The Gardener helps members examine their own communication, understand patterns emerging in an interaction, consider what another person may be communicating through their behavior, and connect those observations back to the values they identified in Soil.
Its Grounded reasoning framework draws from long-standing and emerging relationship research and considers context, repetition, both people’s contributions, alternative explanations, and the strength of the available evidence.
The result is generative conversation designed to support greater self-awareness, clearer communication, stronger discernment, and more intentional relationships.
