Concept
A consumer app that generates polished portraits, social-ready headshots, and themed photo sets from a few selfies — with transparent ‘AI-generated’ labeling and UK-appropriate privacy copy. Focus on speed, style presets (LinkedIn, dating, creator thumbnails), and safe-content filters.
Target audience
UK young professionals, dating-app users, and solo creators who need fresh profile and content images without hiring a photographer. Pain point: generic filters vs. costly photo shoots; they want fast, affordable, good-enough results.
Monetization
Credit packs for generations (e.g. 20 / 100 images) plus optional Pro subscription with monthly credits, HD export, and commercial-use license tier. Upsell style packs and seasonal templates. Watch API unit economics closely; margin comes from pack pricing above model cost.
Build plan
Weeks 1–2: Pick image API provider(s), define moderation pipeline and UK GDPR-friendly data retention. Weeks 3–6: Onboarding (selfie capture guide), 8–12 style presets, generation queue, gallery, export. Weeks 7–9: Paywall, credits, App Store IAP. Weeks 10–12: ASO in GB, influencer micro-tests, A/B onboarding, add ‘headshot’ and ‘creator’ landing keywords.
ASO angle
Target GB App Store: AI headshot, profile picture maker, AI photo generator UK. Emphasize privacy, fast results, and styles for LinkedIn/dating. Visual ASO: before/after grids (with consent) and ‘made in one minute’ flow.
