Inspired by the power of shared experiences, I set out during my internship to design a feature that could foster real connections. GroupFlow emerged as a project where I took on both UX research and design.

Duration
2 months (July - Sep 2024)
Overview
GroupFlow reimagines how users connect and interact within a digital community. Inspired by the power of shared interactions, I designed GroupFlow to address a gap in the Tweak & Eat app, where I saw potential for deeper social engagement. Through intelligent group shuffling, the feature encourages users to move from strangers to friends, enhancing the app's community feel and creating a more engaging and supportive user experience.
Tweak & Eat is a wellness app that encourages users to make healthier food choices by allowing them to share their meals, or "tweaks," for feedback by AI-powered nutritionists. While users can post their tweaks to the 'Tweak Wall', the lack of direct interactions, comments, or ways to connect makes the 'Tweak Wall' feel more like a static feed than a vibrant community.

This feature promotes a dynamic social experience by allowing users be shuffled between different groups based on shared interests,
and activity levels, helping them discover new connections. One of the best parts of this feature is the spontaneous nature of group
discovery, where users can explore various communities and find the ones that resonate with them the most.

of this feature is the spontaneous nature of group discovery, where users can explore various

In the current Tweak & Eat app, users can share meal updates on the Tweak Wall, which has basic features like likes and comments.
However, these features don’t foster real connections, as users still lack meaningful ways to interact and engage with each other.
As a result, the Tweak Wall often feels like a static feed rather than a dynamic community space, leaving users feeling isolated in their
experiences.
User feedback reveals a desire for stronger connections.
In a wellness-focused app, peer support and motivation
are crucial, and users are eager for more ways to interact
and share goals meaningfully.

Minimising User Effort
It’s common for products to focus heavily on increasing user motivation, often overlooking how simplifying actions can have an equal or
greater impact. For GroupFlow, I asked myself:
What is the smallest action a user can take to start connecting with others effortlessly?
How can I remove friction from the process of engaging with new groups, making connection feel natural and easy?
Creating a Habit Loop
GroupFlow is designed to foster a habit loop within Tweak & Eat, where users don’t have to actively search for
connections—they’re automatically shuffled into groups with others who share similar wellness goals. My goal was to minimise user
effort while maximising engagement, allowing users to focus on building connections without additional steps.
The Fogg Behaviour Model demonstrates an inverse relationship between
motivation and ability: when an action is harder to do, users require higher
motivation to complete it. In designing GroupFlow, I aimed to make the
minimum action—engaging with new groups—as effortless and seamless as
possible to lower the barrier for meaningful interaction.

Community and Social Interaction as Engagement Drivers
Users are eager for more ways to connect with each other, such as commenting
on meal posts or following user profiles, to transform the app into a true

Motivation Through Accountability and Shared Progress
Tracking their progress and sharing milestones with others helps users stay
committed to their goals. Features like group challenges or peer support would
enhance accountability, and motivation.
Ease of Exploration and Discovery
Users enjoy browsing the Recipe Library and would like more options to
discover new health tips and trending tweaks, making the exploration process

To approach this problem, it was essential to gain a deeper understanding of Tweak & Eat users' routines and motivations for engaging
with the app. This involved exploring the interplay between various contexts, and how these factors influence user motivation and
long-term engagement with the app.
The Context + Motivation Framework was developed to understand how
various contexts, both internal and external,—such as technological access,
social environment, cultural context, and personalised features— impact a
user’s motivation to engage social pressures, and the personal relevance of
content.
Through this analysis, it became clear that the app’s social features could be
strengthened to provide more opportunities for accountability-driven
interactions and meaningful connections. This revealed a significant
opportunity to enhance the social experience, encouraging users to engage
consistently and connect with others who share similar wellness goals.

Loyal Tweak & Eat User - Min-Jae
Actively logs meals, participates in group challenges, and frequently engages with the Recipe Wall and "Thought of the Day."
Shares achievements and progress with the group, inspiring and motivating others in the community.
Moderate Tweak & Eat User - Vihaan
Uses the app to maintain a balanced diet, sharing occasional meal updates with his group.
Participates in challenges that align with his interests and seeks occasional encouragement from the community.
Casual Tweak & Eat User - Caroline
Relies on the app for occasional meal suggestions that cater to her dietary restrictions.
Passively consumes content like recipes and "Thought of the Day" tips, with minimal social engagement.
These personas depict the actions of these users if there was a group feature. In analysing these personas, I noticed that all users
—whether casual, moderate, or loyal—value community interaction for motivation, and accountability. This insight guided my design,
as I consistently referred back to their needs to ensure the feature I was building can support users at every level of involvement.

Group Shuffling: Past Groups & ReGroup
ReGroup: This periodically reshuffles group members, allowing users to connect with new people regularly.
It helps keep interactions fresh and introduces users to diverse perspectives within the community.
Group History: Users can access details of their previous groups, making it easy to revisit past connections,
and maintain relationships with members from prior group interactions.
Periodically, users are seamlessly shuffled into new batches within the same broader group,
allowing them to interact with different members over time.

at the same time, making it easy to maintain several trusted communities.
Unlike groups, Circles are not automatically assigned; users actively choose who they want to connect
with. Additionally, users can belong to multiple Circles at the same time, making it easy to maintain several
trusted communities.
Circles offer the same features as groups, such as chat, challenges, and progress tracking, but with the
added benefit of being self-selected and more stable.

Users with strong connections across multiple batches (e.g., '9AM Wakers')
can form Circles. Circles provide a space for users to maintain deeper connections
with those they’ve interacted with regularly.
Users can create Circles with real-life friends using a CircleCode, merging their
online & offline relationships. This feature can also be developed into a
"Send Invite" method, where users can easily share Circle invitations with friends
via email, social media, or direct messages.

This chart illustrates the natural fluctuations in motivation and activity completion over time. While engagement
may dip after each shuffle, periodic reshuffling reintroduces fresh connections, boosting energy and
participation. This cycle helps sustain long-term motivation and fosters a strong sense of community.
