&lt;p&gt;🚀 Overview&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built a command-line tool that automatically swipes on Tinder using AI.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea is simple:&lt;br&gt;
Take profile images → analyze them using a vision model → decide whether to swipe left or right.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⚙️ How It Works&lt;br&gt;
Fetch profile images&lt;br&gt;
Send them to Groq Vision&lt;br&gt;
Get an attractiveness score&lt;br&gt;
Apply a threshold&lt;br&gt;
Auto swipe&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everything runs locally via CLI.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;💡 Why Groq?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most AI APIs cost money or have limits.&lt;br&gt;
Groq allows fast inference without requiring a paid setup, which made this project accessible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🛡️ Anti-Ban Logic&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To avoid detection:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Random delays between swipes&lt;br&gt;
Human-like behavior simulation&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(Not perfect, but reduces risk)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🧪 Feedback Needed&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you try it, please share:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bugs or crashes&lt;br&gt;
Wrong decisions by AI&lt;br&gt;
Features you’d like (filters, preferences, etc.)&lt;br&gt;
🔮 Future Ideas&lt;br&gt;
Preference-based swiping&lt;br&gt;
Learning from user feedback&lt;br&gt;
Better scoring model&lt;br&gt;
UI version (maybe)&lt;/p&gt;
