I Built an AI Hitch

Confession time.

I built an AI agent that feeds me smooth lines to say to my gf (basically AI hitch). I call it Rizzotto.

It was just a meme idea I made for a hackathon, but ever since I started using it, she says I’ve been very empathetic and a great listener!

Do I tell her?

Technical Breakdown: I started with just prompt engineering but that was WAY too generic.

Vanilla ChatGPT has about as much rizz as the people who made it (downside of using RLHF).

So I busted out a web scraper and pointed it to her socials and LI.

Throw this in a vector DB + combine this with multi-shot & the rizzults suddenly became pretty good!

Little known fact: the r in RAG stands for rizz.

Next step was realtime rizz recommendations. I added Deepgram for streaming ASR, then had Rizzotto text me topics while we were on a date.

I also added speaker diarization so Rizzotto could tell me when I was being cringe.

As it turns out, AI thinks I’m a modern day Steve Urkel.

Now the agent can spit low-latency game, but it still has one major blindspot: LLMs suck at being witty.

Solution: I added Hume AI emotion detection to track what made her laugh, then used that to fine tune the model.

This was a quick hack but there’s still a lot of low-hanging rizz to build:

  • Gamify it, so when I say rizzy things on my own, I win badges/rankings (buttery rizzotto, spicy chorizzo, dark chocolate rizzcotti)
  • Remember what we’ve talked about so it can come up with inside jokes
  • Send me date ideas based on things she’s brought up (“she said she misses her cat - you guys should do a taxidermy workshop!”)

Any other ideas?

People keep asking me if they can try it. I’m kind of uncomfortable that they’re also trying to rizz up my gf, but fine I’ll share.
