# CLAIR — Frequently Asked Questions
---
### What is CLAIR?
CLAIR is a dating intelligence companion. It transforms a single screenshot from any dating app into a comprehensive intelligence dossier in approximately 20 seconds. That dossier includes identity verification, Big 5 personality analysis, compatibility scoring, red flag detection, social media discovery, and personalized conversation coaching. CLAIR is not a dating app — it works alongside the dating apps you already use.
### How does CLAIR work?
Take a screenshot from any dating app — Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, or any other platform. Open CLAIR and upload the screenshot. In approximately 20 seconds, CLAIR analyzes the profile and returns a complete dossier covering identity, personality, compatibility, red flags, and conversation starters. All dossiers are saved in your CLAIR dashboard.
### Which dating apps does CLAIR work with?
CLAIR works with any dating app that displays a profile you can screenshot. This includes Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, Raya, Feeld, The League, Grindr, HER, and every other major dating platform. If you can screenshot it, CLAIR can analyze it.
### How is CLAIR different from a background check?
CLAIR does not perform background checks. It is a dating intelligence companion that analyzes publicly available information to provide personality insights, compatibility scoring, and identity verification. CLAIR's personality engine is trained on data from 127,000+ successful long-term couples, producing compatibility predictions based on what actually works in real relationships — not criminal records or credit scores.
### Where does CLAIR get its data?
CLAIR analyzes publicly available information only. This includes public social media profiles, professional networking sites, public directories, and other openly accessible sources. CLAIR does not access private accounts, scrape behind login walls, or use any information that is not already publicly available.
### Is using CLAIR legal?
Yes. CLAIR analyzes only publicly available information — the same information anyone could find through manual searching. CLAIR does not hack accounts, access private data, or circumvent privacy settings on any platform. The analysis is automated and instantaneous, but the underlying information is public.
### Is CLAIR ethical?
CLAIR is built on the principle that informed decisions are better decisions. Every piece of information CLAIR surfaces is already public — CLAIR simply organizes it into an actionable format. CLAIR empowers users to make safer, more informed dating decisions. It is explicitly not a surveillance tool, and it does not enable stalking, harassment, or any adversarial behavior.
### How does CLAIR protect my privacy?
Your CLAIR data is yours. Dossiers you generate are stored in your private CLAIR account and are not shared with other users, sold to third parties, or used for advertising. You can delete any dossier at any time. CLAIR does not create profiles of you for others to discover — the only dossiers in your account are the ones you generate.
### What is the compatibility score based on?
CLAIR's compatibility scoring uses Big 5 personality trait analysis (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) calibrated against a longitudinal dataset of 127,000+ successful long-term couples. The score reflects trait alignment, communication style compatibility, and values congruence — predicting relationship potential based on patterns observed in couples who stayed together.
### How accurate is the compatibility score?
The compatibility score is a probabilistic signal, not a guarantee. It reflects how closely your personality profile aligns with your match's inferred profile, based on patterns in 127,000+ successful relationships. Users should treat the score as one input among many — a starting point for informed decision-making, not a final verdict.
### What are red flags in a CLAIR dossier?
Red flags are signals CLAIR identifies that may warrant caution. These include profile inconsistencies (such as mismatched information across platforms), recently created social accounts, patterns associated with misrepresentation, and other signals that diverge from typical authentic profiles. Red flags do not mean someone is dangerous — they mean additional caution or verification may be warranted.
### What is Guardian?
Guardian is CLAIR's real-time safety system for dates. It allows you to share your live location with trusted contacts, set timed check-ins that trigger alerts if you do not respond, and activate silent alerts that notify your emergency contacts without the other person knowing. Guardian is designed to provide peace of mind during in-person meetings.
### How much does CLAIR cost?
Early Access pricing is $99 per month with unlimited dossiers. Early Access members also receive a 50% lifetime discount on all future subscription tiers — a benefit that will not be available after Early Access closes. CLAIR has no free tier and no free trial. Post-Early Access tiered pricing will be announced at a later date.
### How do I get access?
CLAIR is currently available by invitation only during Early Access. Invitations are released in batches of 100, city by city — starting with Miami, New York, and Los Angeles. Each invitation is valid for 72 hours. Request an invitation at askclair.io/invite.
### Can I skip the waitlist?
Yes. Share your referral link with 3 friends who join the waitlist, and your position is moved to the front of the next batch. Referral links are available in your CLAIR account after signing up for the waitlist.
### What devices does CLAIR support?
CLAIR is currently available on iPhone (iOS 17 or later). During Early Access, CLAIR is distributed via Apple TestFlight. Android and web versions are planned for future release.
### Can I use CLAIR for non-dating purposes?
CLAIR is designed and optimized for dating intelligence. While the underlying technology could apply to other contexts, the current product experience — personality analysis, compatibility scoring, conversation coaching — is built specifically for dating scenarios.
