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)

Their 3 most viral formats:

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
