Love Algorithms: He prays. She Plays. I Listen

By Arvind Sampath

Love Algorithms is a warm, witty, and emotionally intelligent romantic novel set in modern-day Bangalore. It tells the story of Raghav, a shy Sanskrit scholar and temple accountant with a hidden passion for physics, and Priya, a confident UX designer who approaches arranged matchmaking with curiosity and spark.

Their journey begins with an awkward meeting and slowly unfolds into something deeper, helped along by an unexpected companion-FlirtBuddy, an AI confidant trained in poetry, psychology, and human connection. Designed to coach Raghav through the confusing world of dating, FlirtBuddy soon becomes a quiet observer, a digital guide, and sometimes a mischief-maker who nudges the story forward.

As Raghav and Priya explore intimacy, emotional games, family pressure, and moments of vulnerability, the novel reflects on what it means to fall in love in a world shaped by both tradition and technology.

Can two people from very different worlds truly connect with a little help from code? And can a machine understand the rhythm of a human heart?

Love Algorithms is a playful and poetic exploration of love, learning, and the evolving role of AI in our most personal relationships.
