We wanted something that went beyond the typical swipe model and offered a more meaningful way for people to connect—powered by AI and built around user engagement and privacy. From the initial concept to the final product, BLK Labs played a critical role in bringing this vision to life, using their expertise in mobile development, UX/UI design, and backend architecture.Strategic Planning & Market ResearchBefore diving into development, BLK Labs took the time to understand the competitive landscape. They conducted thorough market research, analysing existing dating apps to find areas where DateSpark could stand out. This was crucial in shaping DateSpark’s unique value proposition. Instead of just focusing on a swipe-based system, we prioritised AI-driven matchmaking and interactive features like icebreakers. BLK Labs helped us refine this approach, guiding decisions from the feature prioritisation (we focused on a lean MVP first) to the monetisation strategy (we went for a freemium model with premium perks).Intuitive UX/UI Design That Engages UsersThe success of any dating app is in its user experience, and BLK Labs truly nailed it. Their team created sleek, user-friendly wireframes that balanced aesthetics with functionality, ensuring the app was easy to navigate from sign-up to matching. The design included micro-interactions like playful swipe animations and personalised profile prompts, making the app feel dynamic and engaging. After testing prototypes with real users, they fine-tuned the UI based on feedback, resulting in a visually appealing, smooth experience.Scalable Development & AI IntegrationFor development, BLK Labs chose React Native, which allowed us to build a fast and efficient web application without compromising performance. They also designed a secure real-time chat system and implemented a custom AI-driven matching algorithm that analysed user behaviours to improve connection suggestions. Plus, they seamlessly integrated third-party services like Stripe for payments, Google Maps for location-based matching, and Firebase for authentication.Rigorous Testing & Smooth DeploymentBefore launching, BLK Labs carried out thorough QA testing to ensure everything was working smoothly. This included functional, performance, and security checks, which helped identify and resolve bugs early on. Their team also took care of App Store Optimisation (ASO) to make sure we got the best visibility upon release, setting us up for a smooth and successful launch.Post-Launch Support & Iterative ImprovementsEven after the app was live, BLK Labs didn’t just walk away. They continued to provide ongoing support, addressing user feedback and rolling out feature updates like video profiles and enhanced AI filters. Their commitment to iterative improvements ensured that DateSpark not only attracted users but also retained them over time, allowing us to scale the app effectively. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?Fully deployed application, awaiting funding and ready for a soft launch later this yearDescribe their project management.

"“What I loved the most was their ability to take a technically complex problem and turn it into a usable product.”" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and position.I am the Founder of AraafitDescribe what your company does in a single sentence.Araafit builds AI-powered body measurement and fit technology that lets fashion brands and shoppers capture accurate measurements from a single photo, reducing sizing errors, returns, and friction in online fashion. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What specific goals or objectives did you hire BLK Labs to accomplish?Deliver a fast, mobile-first PWA experienceEnable measurement capture and reusable user profilesLaunch a working MVP ready for real-user testingBuild an AI-powered body measurement app for accurate clothing size estimation from user photos **SOLUTION** How did you find BLK Labs?ReferralWhy did you select BLK Labs over others?Close to my geographic locationGreat culture fitHow many teammates from BLK Labs were assigned to this project?2-5 EmployeesDescribe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.Araafit was built as an end-to-end fashion technology product that uses image processing and machine learning to help users get accurate body measurements and better-fitting clothing online.The core scope involved designing and developing a system that allows users to upload a full-body photo, provide basic reference information (such as height), and receive automatically generated body measurements. This required building a custom image-processing pipeline for pose detection and measurement estimation, rather than relying on off-the-shelf third-party APIs.Beyond the AI component, the work included developing the full product experience around the measurement system - user onboarding, image capture guidance, measurement output, and integration into a shopping and recommendation flow. The platform also includes backend services to handle image uploads, run measurement inference, store user data securely, and support future model improvements.An admin layer was developed to manage clothing items, assign sizing and style attributes, and oversee orders and product data so recommendations align correctly with user measurements. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?Measurable OutcomesSuccessfully delivered a working body-measurement system capable of generating consistent measurement outputs from a single full-body image, validating the core technical feasibility of the product.Built and deployed a complete end-to-end product (AI pipeline, backend services, and user-facing web application), reducing the concept from an idea to a usable, testable platform.Achieved reliable measurement inference using minimal user input (single image + height), lowering friction compared to traditional multi-step or hardware-dependent measurement approaches.Demonstrated improved size matching accuracy during internal testing by aligning generated measurements with predefined clothing size parameters, reducing obvious size mismatches.Established a scalable technical foundation (APIs, data storage, admin tools) that allows for model iteration, additional data collection, and future improvements without reworking the core system.Enabled faster onboarding and experimentation by keeping the measurement flow lightweight, allowing users to complete the process in minutes rather than requiring manual measurements.Successful photo-to-measurement processing rateUser measurement completion rate through MVP launched and used by early testersDescribe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?Project management was structured and responsive throughout the engagement. Milestones were clearly defined upfront, and work was delivered in stages so progress was always visible rather than happening in a black box.Key deliverables were completed on time, and when timelines needed minor adjustments, they were communicated early with clear reasoning. Feedback was incorporated quickly, and changes were handled pragmatically without derailing the overall schedule.They were responsive to questions and evolving requirements, adapting the scope where needed while keeping the core objectives intact.

Instead of relying on third-party solutions, we worked together to buid our own measurement pipeline and focused on making it work reliably with minimal user input.They also showed strong product judgment, balancing accuracy, performance, and user experience rather than chasing “perfect” AI at the expense of usability. The combination of hands-on technical execution and practical product thinking made the collaboration feel focused and efficient.Are there any areas for improvement or something BLK Labs could have done differently?None. Loved working with them!We are currently working together to build a marketplace expansion for Araafit. --- #### Web Design & Development for Agro-Allied Products Company **The Project** - Services: Web Design, Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Apr. - Aug. 2025 **Project Summary**: BLK Labs redesigned and revamped a website for an agro-allied products and equipment company.

""I'm impressed with their patience with us as first-time SaaS founders."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.I'm the founder of Magnetify, an advertising and marketing company. We create AI-powered lead magnets to help businesses grow. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with BLK Labs?I needed help with developing an MVP app. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of work with BLK Labs?I started with just a vision of what I wanted Magnetify to be, so the goal was to get a working MVP. BLK Labs has developed a fully functional app that currently has paying customers. Magnetify has the ability to create three different types of lead magnets: lead pages, mini-courses, and e-books. Users can download leads or create webhooks to send captured leads to their email service provider or CRM. One of the features we like best is that Magnetify has a clean UI that makes the user experience simple when using the app. Our project is still ongoing because we're working on a major feature addition.What is the team composition?We mainly work with Kabir.How did you come to work with BLK Labs?I found them through Upwork. When I spoke to Kabir about the vision for my software, I felt like we clicked and that he understood what I was trying to build.What is the status of this engagement?We started working together in November 2024, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?Once specific milestones within the project were met, such as the lead magnet formats being created and AI being integrated, we had many measurable outcomes. For the overall project, we had 3–4 major milestones, including research, design, app functionality, and building out the blog for Magnetify. The outcome was that everything was completed, and we're now working on adding another feature. The completed milestones have allowed us to market the MVP at different stages since we're building Magnetify in public. We believe this has allowed other people to have an expectation of what was to come once the MVP was completed. We had people sign up for a beta tester waitlist and follow our journey as we documented it on YouTube.Based on the feedback we received from our initial launch, we streamlined the checkout process.How did BLK Labs perform from a project management standpoint?As I mentioned before, the project was delayed by a few months, but I'm happy with the results. BLK Labs has gone above and beyond with bug fixes and iterations before we finally launched. We mainly communicate through Upwork.What did you find most impressive about them?I'm impressed with their patience with me as a first-time SaaS founder.Are there any areas they could improve?They could provide a better estimation of time completion, although I know that can be hard sometimes. Other than that, I'm happy with their services. --- ## Packages ## Locations (2) ### Abuja, Nigeria (Headquarters) - No 33, Kinshasa Street, Wuse Zone 6 - Abuja 900001 - Nigeria - 10 - 15 employees - Phone: 09078669414 ### Falls Church, VA - 6166 Leesburg Pike - Falls Church, VA 22044 - United States - 2 - 5 employees - Phone: 2026403292 ## Contact BLK Labs [Send a message](https://clutch.co/profile/blk-labs)
