How to build $1M+ Viral AI Apps

And that's where I would, uh, say that a good idea is a language AI or language tutoring application. Uh, Obviously the chat GPT voice to voice model is currently pretty expensive. My inclination is that that will significantly decrease in cost over time or other models will come out of similar functionality with decreased cost.

Yeah, this is exactly what people said to me when we were building CalAI. People are like, dude, my fitness pal is so big. They're going to build in this space. And my answer was, well, they won't work as hard as us. Their incentives internally are not aligned to the point where they will be able to iterate and progress as quickly as us. So here's what I mean by that.

The engineers at MyFitnessPal, like MyFitnessPal to begin with, has been like traded back and forth, sold so many times that the people that are doing the groundwork don't like probably don't have that much equity, you know? And so the engineers don't care that much. Like they're just kind of doing their job. similar with the social media managers.

In addition, we're pioneering new ways of marketing on social media. I would wager that the same pretty much applies to Duolingo. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if their engineering team was a lot better. significantly higher valuation.
