How Chart AI made it to 20K downloads, 5K MRR & 13M views in 2 months
Chart AI is only 2 months old:
> 20K downloads & $5K MRR
> 13,788,000 views
They’re copy & pasting the AI Study Tool TikTok playbook every winning app is using:
Chart AI is a finance app that scans and analyses trading charts
In 2 months they are running 6 accounts (5 on TikTok & 1 on Reels)
1) Open door & “catch” what tool they’re using Hooks – “She living in 2099”, “Where she find this”
Most viral video => 2.5M views // 83K likes // 692 comments // 19K saves
2) Record outside window + close up on screen
Same hooks as above, gives idea that person doesn’t know they were “caught”
1.7M views // 50.7 likes // 431 comments // 16K saves
3) Post-it over laptop screen + app screen
Hook – note saying “4y trading and I just found this… BRUH”
868K views // 20K likes // 197 comments // 11K saves
They’re killing it, but this behind-screen + close-up is not a new idea, and they’re not reinventing the wheel – remember Answer AI?
They’re still struggling a bit to convert with in-app purchases ($3.99 for unlimited scans)
1.2 stars on App Store and all (five) reviews are about how app does not work at all – so people are churning, not buying any unlimited features
Bottom line,
– start distributing as early as you can
– test formats and “steal” ideas from neighbor niches
– your app should work (at least delivering basic value proposition), even when speed > perfect
