A credibility gap
LinkedIn hosts over 1 billion profiles, yet most users don’t have access to a professional photographer. As a result, their profile photo undermines their credibility. Kapreon set out to remove this personal-branding hurdle by creating Plaida. The goal: let anyone obtain a studio-grade portrait from a few phone snapshots, delivered in under ten minutes, with zero technical skills and for just a few dollars.
Ultra-simple AI onboarding
We began by studying directly with Plaida’s target users: job seekers, recruiters and entrepreneurs. This revealed a clear pain point: most lack both the budget and the time for a real photo shoot, yet they know their picture shapes their credibility.
From these insights, we designed an ultra-optimised onboarding: four sample photos train an AI model, then the user can generate studio-quality shots within minutes.
