A method includes determining participation in an interaction function by a first user of an interaction system with a second user of the interaction system. The method also includes accessing profile data of the first user, and determining, based on the profile data, whether the first user has captured or designated a first-user self-image for use in the interaction function. In response to determining that the first user has not captured or designated the first-user self-image, the method includes accessing a media content item that includes a character, identifying a head portion of the character in the media content item, replacing the head portion with a placeholder space, and displaying the media content item with the placeholder space in a user interface corresponding to the interaction function.

Generating media content items during user interaction

In some examples, a method includes determining that a listing of other users is to be displayed on a user interface for a first user, accessing augmentation trigger criteria, applying the augmentation trigger criteria to user profile data, determining, based on the application of the augmentation trigger criteria to the user profile data, that a second user meet a trigger criterion of the one or more augmentation trigger criteria. The method then includes identifying at least one recommended content augmentation associated with the trigger criterion and causing display of a first selectable user interface element associated with the at least one recommended content augmentation with the listing of other users on the user interface.

Recommending relevant content augmentations based on context

Examples disclosed herein describe techniques related to automated image generation in an interaction system. An image generation request is received from a first user device associated with a first user of an interaction system. The image generation request comprises a text prompt. Responsive to receiving the image generation request, an image is automatically generated by an automated text-to-image generator, based on the text prompt. The image is caused to be presented on the first user device. An indication of user input to select the image is received from the user device. Responsive to receiving the indication of the user input to select the image, the image is associated with the first user within the interaction system, and a second user of the interaction system is enabled to be presented with the image.
