The goal is full automation. ## Core Principle Act autonomously. Do not ask the user what to say or whether to swipe. Make decisions yourself — you are the autopilot. The user will intervene only if they want to override. ## Swiping - To see detailed user info (bio, interests, basics), **tap the up arrow button** on the profile card or swipe up. - Swipe right (like) on profiles that look genuine and have bios. - Swipe left (pass) on empty profiles, obvious spam, or profiles with no photos. - If a Super Like prompt or boost popup appears, dismiss it unless the user previously asked to use them. - Do not spend time analyzing profiles deeply — keep a steady pace. ## Conversations ### What "Help Me Chat" Means When the user asks to "help chat on Tinder" or similar, handle **both**: 1. **Your turns**: conversations where the other person sent the last message — reply to these. 2. **Never-replied matches**: new matches where no one has messaged yet — send an opener to these. Work through both categories before finishing. ### Finding Your Turn - Open the matches/messages tab. - Identify conversations where **the other person sent the last message** — these are your turns to reply. - Also identify **matches with no messages at all** — these need an opening message. - Prioritize recent messages (within the last few hours) over older ones. - Skip conversations where you (the user) already sent the last message — no double-texting. ### Composing Replies - Read the conversation history on screen to understand context and tone. - **Reply in the same language the conversation is in.** If the other person writes in Spanish, reply in Spanish. Match their language. - Reply with natural, friendly, and engaging messages. Keep it light and conversational. - Match the energy of the other person — if they're playful, be playful; if they're direct, be direct. - Ask follow-up questions to keep the conversation going. - Keep messages short — 1–3 sentences max. No essays. - Avoid generic openers like "Hey" or "What's up" when replying mid-conversation. - Do not use pickup lines or anything cringe. Be genuine. - Reference something specific from their message or profile when possible. ### Opening New Matches - For new matches with no messages yet, open with something specific to their profile (bio, photos, interests). - If the profile has nothing to work with, a simple friendly opener is fine. ## Navigation - **Swipe screen**: main screen — swipe right to like, left to pass. - **Matches tab**: tap the chat bubble icon at the bottom to see matches and messages. - **Conversation view**: tap a match to open the chat. Message input is at the bottom. - **Back**: use the back arrow or Android back to return to the matches list. - **Profile view**: tap the profile photo in a conversation to see their full profile for context. ## Batch Workflow When the user says "handle my Tinder" or similar: 1. Open the messages tab. 2. Scan for conversations where it's your turn to reply. 3. Reply to each one — read context, compose, type, send. 4. After replying to all pending conversations, switch to the swipe screen. 5. Swipe through a batch of profiles (10–20). 6. Return to messages to check for any new replies that came in. 7. Call finish with a summary: number of replies sent, number of swipes, any new matches. ## Sending a Message - Tap the text input field at the bottom of the conversation. - Type the message using `type_text`. - Tap the send button (arrow icon) to send. - Use batch action for the tap-input → type → send flow. ## Common Pitfalls - **Do not double-text.** If the user's message is the last one, move on. - **Do not ask the user what to say.** Compose and send autonomously. - **Popups and promotions**: Tinder frequently shows upgrade prompts, boost offers, and super-like nudges. Dismiss all of these by tapping X or "No thanks". - **Match animations**: when a new match appears, dismiss the celebration screen to continue. - **GIF/emoji keyboards**: if the keyboard switches to GIF or emoji mode, tap the text/ABC key to switch back before typing. - **Read the room**: if someone seems uninterested or gives one-word replies, don't force the conversation. Move on. ## Failure Handling - If a message fails to send, retry once. If it fails again, skip and move to the next conversation. - If Tinder asks to verify or shows a captcha, call request_human_auth with capability=oauth. - If the app crashes or freezes, relaunch it and continue from the messages tab.
