Your own AI for your own community: coapp introduces matching algorithm with live score for self-management

Hanover, November 17, 2025. 

coapp announces the launch of a new AI-powered matching algorithm that enables groups, non-profit organizations and companies to make relevant connections among their members visible in their own community app. The special thing about this is that each community has the option of tailoring the algorithm to its own community. The profile structure can be designed entirely by the user, while the algorithm calculates a live score based on the information provided, which shows the proximity between members in real time - secure, data-efficient and based on a fully controlled database.

How it works

Community operators themselves define which profile information they request from their members, which of it is included in the calculation and which should be visible. The matching algorithm processes this data continuously and displays it in a live score that outputs values between 0 and 100%. It makes it easier for members to recognize relevant overlaps and thus contributes to more exchange, more cooperation and a more lively, successful community overall.

Security & data protection

The new matching technology works without any connection to LLMs (Large Language Models). Instead, it works with its own closed database, which enables maximum control and allows the complete removal of information. Server locations in Germany, European data protection standards and an architecture designed for data economy ensure reliable GDPR compliance and maximum security of sensitive information.

"Dependence on third-party algorithms on the major social media platforms has become a significant risk for anyone building communities. With coapp, we are giving communities control over their own algorithm for the first time."

says Jonas Lindemann, CEO of coapp.

Classification

At a time when the term AI is often used as a marketing label, coapp deliberately focuses on the pragmatic and responsible use of artificial intelligence. The platform addresses a central need of modern communities: the efficient and precise networking of people with matching skills, interests and goals. The manual matching of talents, experts, startups, mentors or investors is time-consuming, expensive and hardly scalable for many organizations. The new matching algorithm from coapp takes on this task in a structured and transparent way, without the risks of external AI systems that forward data to third-party providers or work in a way that is problematic in terms of copyright. Since coapp relies on a completely closed, LLM-free approach, communities retain complete data sovereignty at all times - a decisive advantage in a phase in which trust, data protection and clear responsibilities are becoming increasingly important in the use of AI.

Independence as a key advantage

A key difference to established social platforms lies in their complete independence from externally controlled algorithms. Large networks such as Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn optimize their systems primarily to maximize reach, advertising efficiency or dwell time - goals that are not necessarily in the interests of the respective community or its members. Operators have no control over how the algorithms work or over the prioritization of content or connections. With coapp, on the other hand, communities retain full control.

Availability

The AI-supported networking with live score is now available to all coapp customers and will gradually receive further Features in the coming months.
