If Gravatar is more than just avatars, what are its classic use cases? To answer, we created small prototypes for some key use cases.
To show just how easy Gravatar is to implement, we challenged ourselves to build each demo in just a single day – usings some of the new AI coding tools – coding experience not required.
One thing all our prototypes share in common: They deliver a richer, personalized experience right from the start, powered by nothing more than an email address.
Pre-Filled Profiles
An event app to invite and manage guest lists
The cold start problem is real, especially for new or small apps. Each year we sign up for dozens of tools, but we don’t want to create or update yet another profile.
Gravatar solves this problem. It lets users carry their profiles with them using just their email. For apps where profiles are crucial for community or networking, but the incentive is low too invest time into it – like event platforms – this matters greatly. Gravatar auto-fills profiles, making your app feel lively and helping users feel at home from the first click.
SHORT Personal Onboarding
A concierge onboarding experience – short, personal, and form-free
No one enjoys long onboardings or filling out the same forms again and again. But how else do you create a great, personalized first experience?
What if your concierge already knew the basics about you the moment you shared your email? With Gravatar, you can build a short, smooth, and truly personal onboarding—no forms required.
Recommendations FROM THE START
Podcasting recommendations in the very first session
It’s fairly easy to recommend the right content once you’ve seen how someone interacts with your product. But what about the very first session—before they’ve done anything?
With Gravatar’s interests, you can prompt your recommendation engine as soon as a user shares their email.
EMAIL LIST DATA ANALYSIS
Matching your userbase
You’ve grown an audience. You’ve got a long list of emails. But who are these people?
Over 75 million users share their name, bio, location, and verified social accounts through Gravatar—just by linking them to their email. Analyse your email list, segment your userbase, personalize your product.
Curious how many of your users have a Gravatar profile? We built a quick prototype so you can find out.
