Doji growth playbook

Diagnosis

Doji has a striking product and strong backing ($14 million seed, investors behind OpenAI, Cursor and SKIMS) and its hiring says what comes next: a UGC Growth Lead to make creator content a dependable acquisition channel measured to installs and activation, a Founding Engineer for personalization and cold-start, and a Designer for playful iOS and web experiences.

The gaps sit between content and the app: one untracked App Store link for every creator, an iPhone-only app with no path for Android or desktop viewers, a homepage that never explains the product, a 460 MB download, and thousands of public looks invisible to search.

This playbook fixes tracking and the landing path first, then builds formats, paid scaling, first-minute activation and weekly reasons to return, and finally web try-on, fit guidance and a creator class.

Growth Score

6/10

Biggest Opportunity

Make every creator video measurable and every viewer, on any device, able to take the next step, so the UGC program can scale on numbers.

Biggest Risk

Google's Doppl and well-funded stylist apps such as Alta compete for the same habit, and Doppl is already on Android.

This week 6

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    The new UGC Growth Lead must measure "the path from content to installs and activated users" by creator, format and platform. Today every path ends at one plain App Store link with no campaign token, on the homepage and on every share page, and the app is "Only for iPhone". A TikTok viewer on Android, or on a laptop, reaches doji.com and finds a manifesto, no product explanation and no way to leave an email. Google's Doppl is on both iOS and Android.

    Smallest test

    Give three creators tokens this week and compare their installs.

    Why it works

    Make each creator's Doji profile (doji.com/<handle>) their link-in-bio, with their looks already on it, and give each one a unique App Store campaign token (App Store Connect campaign links are free) plus the creator and format in the referral link. On the homepage and every share page, detect Android and desktop and show a short "Doji is on iPhone. Get early access on Android" email field and a "send me the link" option for desktop. Report installs, activations and waitlist signups per creator every week.

    Creator payments, briefs and the weekly testing cadence all need a per-creator number, and the Android waitlist turns lost viewers into a measured audience for the Android decision.

    Ready to use

    ChecklistPer-creator tracking setup

    [ ] App Store campaign token per creator
    [ ] Creator bio links to doji.com/<handle>
    [ ] Creator and format kept through referral links
    [ ] Android visitors see an email field
    [ ] Desktop visitors see QR and "text me the link"
    [ ] Weekly table: views, installs, activations, waitlist
    [ ] Pay rules tied to the table

    Risks and how to handle them

    • App Store tokens count only App Store visits

      Use referral link data for activations as well.

    • Waitlist sets an expectation

      Say plainly that Android has no date yet.

    The homepage has no H1 and no product explanation: the manifesto is the whole page and the only facts are in the meta description. Viewers who click through from UGC already liked a video; they need to see a likeness, a try-on and a real product before they install a 460 MB app.

    Smallest test

    Add the one-line promise under the logo today.

    Why it works

    Keep the manifesto, but open with one line ("Try on real designer fashion on your AI likeness"), a short loop of a try-on, three steps (photos, likeness, try on and shop) and the App Store button. Add an H1 and a plain description for search.

    A clear promise above the fold lifts install clicks, and search engines and AI assistants finally get text to describe Doji.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Loses the brand mood

      Keep the type and tone; add facts, not clutter.

    The app is 459.9 MB. iPhones ask before downloading apps over 200 MB on cellular by default, so a viewer who taps install from TikTok on the street meets a prompt, and many will put it off.

    Check App Store Connect for the conversion rate by device and connection.

    Why it works

    Measure the share of installs that start on cellular. Move models and assets that are not needed at first launch to on-demand downloads so the first download falls below 200 MB, and until then tell share-page visitors "best downloaded on Wi-Fi" with a "remind me" option.

    Every prompt between interest and install loses people, and UGC traffic is mostly mobile and impulsive.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Slower first try-on

      Download the extra assets while the likeness is being made.

    Why it works

    Write one brief template (hook, likeness reveal, try-on moment, the real product and brand, call to action with the creator link) and a scored rubric using the same five parts. Every draft gets a score and one sentence of feedback per part.

    A shared brief and rubric let one lead manage many creators without lowering quality, which is what the role asks for.

    Why it works

    Rank users by looks shared and the installs their share pages bring, invite the top 50 into the UGC program with a starter fee and a referral bonus, and use their own profile as their landing page.

    In-app fans make more convincing videos than hired creators, and the recruiting pipeline the role must build starts with people who already love the app.

    Test a subtitle such as "Try on designer fashion on you" and first three screenshots that show the likeness, a try-on and a real product. Use App Store product page optimization to test against the current page.

    Publish one custom page for the top format.

    Why it works

    For each format that wins two weeks in a row, publish a custom product page with matching screenshots and use its link in that format's creator bios and paid ads. Compare conversion with the default page.

    Matching the landing page to the video removes the mismatch that loses installs, and it gives clean per-format numbers.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Too many pages to maintain

      Retire pages for formats that stop working.

    Smallest test

    Boost one winning post for a week.

    Why it works

    Add paid usage rights (Spark Ads on TikTok, partnership ads on Instagram) to every creator contract, boost any post that beats the weekly benchmark with a small budget, and scale the ones that hold their cost per activated user.

    Ads that ran organically first are pre-tested, and running them from the creator's handle keeps the native feel.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Paid traffic activates less

      Judge on activated users, not installs.

    Send a push with a styled look when the likeness is ready.

    Why it works

    While the likeness trains, show try-ons on a preview from the first photo, ask three taste questions to seed the feed, and send a push when the full likeness is ready with a look already styled.

    Users who see themselves in a look in the first session come back; waiting with nothing loses them.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Preview looks worse than the real likeness

    Why it works

    Pilot with three emerging labels: their new collection is available to try on in Doji first, with a branded profile, a creator post each and shared results on try-ons and clicks.

    Brands bring their audiences into the app, and Doji gets exclusive content and proof for future paid deals.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Try-on quality on new items

      Check every item before launch.

    Evidence

    • HiringEvery Doji job post: "We're building the future of fashion shopping with AI avatars: personalized try-on, social discovery, and interfaces that make shopping feel alive"; a small NYC team that has "built products used by millions at Apple, DeepMind, Meta, Shopify"; "backed by the investors behind OpenAI, Cursor, and SKIMS".

    Why it works

    Remove the zoom block from the viewport tag, add labels to the icon links, and check that share pages read well with VoiceOver.

    Zooming into the fabric and fit is what a fashion viewer does; blocking it hides the product.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Smallest test

    Put a waitlist on the homepage this month.

    Why it works

    Set a threshold (for example 20,000 Android signups or 30% of share-page visits from Android). Meanwhile build a web try-on on share pages: upload photos, get a likeness and try on the shared look, and keep those users for the Android launch.

    A web try-on serves Android and desktop at once and tests the experience before a native build.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Spreads a small team thin

    Why it works

    Collect height and usual sizes at onboarding, learn from what users say about fit after buying, and show a size suggestion next to each shop button for brands with size charts.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value seeing designer pieces on a likeness of themselves. The most cited problem: not knowing how clothes will look on them.

  • Styling looks for fun and sharing them
  • Online returns
  • In their words: “try it on”

Market

Competitive landscape

3 competitors compared: Google Doppl, Alta and Retailer try-on tools.

  • Gap to exploit: Fit guidance alongside the look
  • Google Doppl: Experimental, less social and brand-led
  • Alta: Less focus on designer discovery

Hiring signals

Doji is moving from a product launch to a growth engine.

  • UGC Growth Lead: UGC as a measured acquisition channel, then paid. Ideas 1, 4, 5, 7, 8.
  • Founding Engineer: Personalization, feed ranking and cold-start. Ideas 9, 10, 13.
  • Designer: Playful, gamified iOS and web design. Ideas 2, 6, 15.
