Growth Loops

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to identify, design, and execute automated growth loops that turn existing users into new customer acquisition channels. It focuses on mapping user journeys to create self-sustaining viral mechanisms without constant manual intervention.

When to use it

• Scaling a SaaS product by automating referral incentives triggered after specific user milestones.
• Designing content-sharing workflows where users automatically invite peers when they unlock premium features.
• Optimizing mobile app onboarding flows to increase organic installs through social sharing prompts.
• Analyzing current conversion funnels to pinpoint friction points that break potential viral loops.

Key capabilities

• Mapping complete user journeys to identify natural sharing moments
• Designing automated referral incentive structures
• Creating viral coefficient calculations for growth forecasting
• Identifying friction points in existing acquisition funnels
• Generating step-by-step implementation plans for loop mechanics

Example prompts

"Design a growth loop for my fitness app where users invite friends to unlock advanced workout plans." "Analyze my current SaaS onboarding flow and suggest three automated referral triggers that could create a viral loop." "Create a step-by-step plan to implement a 'share-to-earn' feature that converts free trial users into paying subscribers through peer referrals."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your product has inherent value that users are willing to share; growth loops fail when the core offering isn't compelling enough to recommend. Start with small, measurable loops before scaling complex multi-step viral mechanisms to avoid overwhelming your infrastructure.
