A virtual fitting room: see the outfit on yourself before you buy
Hobda's fitting-room assistant takes a photo of a garment and a photo of the customer, and returns a realistic image of them wearing it, in Telegram, on a store's website or in direct messages.

The hardest question in buying clothes online is "how will this look on me?" A photo of a professional model doesn't answer it, and that doubt turns into abandoned carts, a stream of messages to the store's page, and returns the seller pays for. Hobda's virtual fitting room answers the question with one image: the customer, wearing that garment.
Three steps for the customer
- The customer sends a photo of a garment they like: a product photo from the website, an Instagram screenshot, or a picture they took in a shop.
- The assistant approves the garment and asks for a photo of the customer.
- A few seconds later, the image of them wearing it arrives, with a "Try another garment" button.
No app to install, no account to create, no form to fill. It is an ordinary conversation.
Only the clothes change
The result has to be the customer, not someone who looks like them. So the face, skin tone, body shape, pose and background stay as they are, and only the clothes are replaced. Customers see themselves, in their own room, and can decide with confidence.
Safety and privacy by design
A photo of a person is sensitive data, and we treat it that way:
- Every photo is checked before anything is generated. Unsuitable content, anyone under 18 and public figures are refused.
- Photos are never stored: not on disk, not in a database, not in logs. A photo stays in memory only until the result is made.
- It is a separate agent you switch on. Each business decides whether to run it alongside the support assistant or on its own.
Wherever your customers are
The fitting room runs in Telegram today, but the flow isn't tied to any one channel: two photos in, one photo out. Anywhere a customer can send a photo, it can be added:
- Your store's website: a "Try it on me" button next to each product, which picks up the garment photo itself and asks only for the customer's photo.
- Messenger bots: Telegram, Bale and Eitaa, with the same step-by-step chat shown above.
- Direct messages: in Instagram or WhatsApp DMs, the customer sends your post's photo and gets the result in the same conversation.
- Next to your support assistant: in the same bot that answers order questions, as a separate button in its menu.
What it means for your business
- Customers who have seen the garment on themselves buy with more confidence.
- "Would this suit me?" messages in your DMs get an answer straight away.
- Every generated image is a reason to come back and try one more garment.
- A memorable experience that sets your store apart, and that customers like to show their friends.
The best product photo is the one customers see themselves in.
