What if technology cared more about your relationship than keeping you swiping or booking endless therapy sessions? In this episode, we sit down with Jason Jiang, co-founder of Chaima AI, to explore how a new “couple’s concierge” is designed to strengthen relationships long after the first date.
Jason shares how Chaima blends AI and human concierges to plan personalized experiences, from hidden city gems to family-friendly date nights. Drawing on his background at Uber and Bird, he explains why an operations-heavy, AI-assisted model gives couples both novelty and convenience without compromising privacy.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why dating apps and therapy models often misalign with users’ true needs
How Chaima uses AI for planning and execution, while humans ensure trust and personalization
The delicate balance between convenience, effort, and intimacy in relationships
Why privacy and incentives matter when building relationship tech
How AI could eventually reshape therapy, conflict resolution, and emotional support
Jason also opens up about his personal journey, from a tough breakup and career pivots at top tech companies to founding Chaima, and the advice he gives founders building tech that touches love, trust, and human connection.
If you’re curious about the future of AI in relationships, dating, and the circular economy of love, this episode offers both insight and inspiration.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
