@HaydenBerio and I are launching our first mobile ios app in the coming weeks.
With out people like @MaxHirsch13 @maubaron @ErnestoSOFTWARE @blakeandersonw @AlexFinn and many others Dropping free sauce about app stuff and Ai it wouldn’t have been possible.
Mark my words the Aura brand of health and productivity will be the biggest app studio in the ios space.
This is just the start.
@HaydenBerio It’s time to win.
Love when i see some genius designer making a post saying “how Claude designs it out of box” then “how it looks when a real designer makes it.”
Like guys i’m sorry but half of you can’t even spell design and yours is just as garbage as claude’s but in a different font.

Am I the only one who hates the Duo?
Having a foldable phone that’s also oversized is so unnecessary to me. Maybe I’m just salty I have to redesign my entire app for the POS
However, Grok bot is great. Use @bot

The only things remotely good about ChatGPT right now are its computer use and image generation

I want to build a mobile app studio with a brand bigger than Duolingo.
Last week, Apple approved our first app.
Today, the studio has one app about to be on the App Store in the coming weeks.
I’ll share what we build, how we market it, and what we get wrong as we grow.

It feels like I get 10x more usage on my $100/mo Claude sub than my $100/mo ChatGPT sub
Anyone else feel the same way?
Hot take:
Muse and Grok Bot aren't competing for the same people
Muse is for your mom. it's an app you open and talk to
Grok Bot is for people who want stuff done while they're asleep
Everyone comparing them like it's one or the other is missing that they'll both win with different crowds
Feel free to disagree in the comments

The MOST obvious (but REALLY good) STARTUP ideas right now:
1. Zestimate for company data (what your data is worth to an AI lab)
2. Google Analytics for agents (see which agents visit your site and what they want)
3. Y Combinator for 1 person companies (back solo founders running a team of agents)
4. Okta for agents (who each agent is and what it's allowed to touch)
5. Marie Kondo for your company's data (clean it up so agents can use it)
6. FICO for agents (a trust score before an agent can spend money)
7. Geico for agents (insurance for when an agent makes an expensive mistake)
8. Datadog for agents (see every step your agents took)
9. Twilio for agents (phone numbers and texting for agents)
10. Upwork for agents (hire an agent for a job instead of a freelancer)
11. ESPN for AI (every model launch covered like a big game).
12. Shutterstock for robot training videos (get paid to film yourself doing chores)
13. Credit Karma for what AI knows about you (see it, fix it, delete it)
14. Norton for AI scams (protect your parents from fake voices and emails)
15. PayPal Buyer Protection for agent purchases (fixes it when your agent buys the wrong thing)
16. Geek Squad for AI (set up personal agents for families and small businesses)
17. Dell for private AI (AI in a box for firms that won't use the cloud)
18. Carfax for used GPUs (a health report before you buy secondhand)
19. Airbnb for idle GPUs (rent out computing power you're not using)
20. Rotten Tomatoes for AI models (real reviews instead of benchmarks)
21. G2 for skills (find the best skills for your agent)
22. Dropbox for your AI memory (take what your agent knows about you to any agent)
23. Canva for physical products (design it with AI and get it made)
24. ADT for your personal agent (alerts when your agent does something it shouldn't)
25. Hertz for robots (rent one for a move, a deep clean or an event)
26. Harvard Business School for internet businesses (a real education in building online)
27. Workday for agents (onboard, manage and offboard your digital workers)
28. Getty Images for your face and voice (license your likeness to AI safely)
29. Meta Muse for older adults (and other high LTV niche)
30. Google Ads for agents (pay to be what the agent recommends)
31. Loom for agents (a walkthrough of everything your agent did)
32. Plaid for agents (approved access to banks, airlines and stores)
33. Jiffy Lube for vibe coded apps (quick fixes when your AI built app breaks)
34. Ancestry for datasets (where your training data came from)
35. The organic label for human-made content (proof a person made it)
36. Strava for builders (track what you ship every week)
37. Honey that haggles for you (your agent negotiates the price)
38. SEM Rush for personal agent platforms (like Muse etc)
39. Frequent flyer miles for agents (loyalty programs built for agents)
If you use Grok @Bot, I dropped some free sauce in my last post, so go check it out :)
Do your AI ads look come out like shit while taking forever at the same time?
I made 43 creatives in 2 days with a team in Grok @bot.
Here's my setup step by step.
(The video shows the bots making 10 example ads just for this post.)
1. I text one lead bot an idea, a tweet or an example ad. That's the only bot I talk to.
2. The lead assigns it to one of 2 parallel teams: research, mascot, production and QA.
3. No example? Research pulls real ads in that format, mostly from X, and breaks the format down. (X for sauce on ad formats, meta ad library for actual example reference)
4. Need a new mascot pose? The mascot bot makes it and checks it against the official mascot sheet.
5. Production builds it in Figma. AI does the background ONLY. Logo, screenshots and brand assets are the real files every time.
6. QA sends fixes back until it passes: real assets, real UI, on-model mascot, no AI-sounding copy.
7. The lead sends it to me. I approve or ask for tweaks. Nothing ships without my OK.
The big unlock is never letting AI generate your logo, your UI or your brand. Generate the background and use the real files for everything else.
Comment "BOTS" and I'll break down how I set up each one.
Below are 10 example ads using this workflow that were one-shotted.
(I have no affiliation with any of these brands shown in the examples)

I canceled my Codex yesterday for Grok bot and moved a massive workflow. Grok bot just knows what to do. Absolutely cracked.

After being a long time Codex user i’ve come to the conclusion that it’s finally fucking unusable.
Switched to Grok Bot, i’ll lyk how it goes.
Anyone who uses grok bot feel free to drop tips in the comments
BUILDERS‼️ LISTEN UP🗣️
When your building your apps remember that power users are important but they don’t drive revenue
Very few consumers of any product (especially digital ones) care about 100 features
The 90% of your users will care about your core features and how easy your app is to use.
most consumers will download your app, use it for 30 seconds and decide if they’re keeping it
most won’t spend an hour clicking every button trying to find easter eggs and understand it front to back
They downloaded it for a specific purpose
And
that purpose should be fulfilled IMMEDIATELY after downloading your app
The mass consumers fund your app and the power users try and break it
For every 100 things you add, you should follow that by deleting 99.
APP FOUNDERS ‼️
If you use iPhone mockups in your Ad creatives/launch videos for your app here’s a few quick tips -
1. Allow Codex/claude/grok (i use codex for this) computer use
2. Download blender (it’s free)
3. Give it product screen shots from apples page
4. Have it make 3d mock up recreations of the phone model inside blender and use /goal with explicit instructions of how it should look when done
5. Get Figma (use the free version or pay 20$ for a seat)
6. Have codex export it frame by frame in each position you’d show case it for your app and put them in a figma file
7. Have your app screen shot you want layered into the phone frame
Your agent can do ALL of this for you
If you follow these steps correctly and have a general idea of how to prompt, it shouldn’t be that hard.
The issue with generating phones for each creative with a screenshot inside the phone, it either always crops the screen shots wrong or botches the phone.
If you want a my step by step ad creative workflow comment ARTICLE and i’ll write one dropping my current workflow with examples and do’s and don’ts along with templitized formats you can use for free

Lovable is a scam.
So is Replit, Base44, Framer, and all AI website builders.
These are for low IQ people who don’t know how to use AI and fall for SaaS marketing gimmicks.
You are paying a premium for less usage, shittier models, shittier websites, and hand cuffing yourself to a SaaS ecosystem you don’t control.
A $100/month Claude Max plan (or ChatGPT Pro) is a better solution BY FAR
