We launched AI News Podcast app. First creative test starts now. On April 10-12, we joined the Neon Apps x RevenueCat x Scate.ai hackathon. We built AI News Podcast app from scratch in 48 hours — and made it to the top 6 finalists. Last week, the app went live. Now the real work begins: growth. App Marketing 101 — going live isn't the finish line, it's the starting line. Our next step is running the first creative test. And a good creative test starts with solid use case research. Here's how we did it. I opened the Leus Visua to search in Meta, Tiktok and Admob Ad Library. Searched across text-to-speech, AI audio, and news aggregator categories. Studied which hooks are being used, which user problems are being highlighted, which formats have longer lifespans. Then I moved to Pinterest Trends. Tracked the direction of terms like "AI podcast", "morning routine", "news summary" — and scanned organic content to understand how users actually express this need. 3 use cases emerged: 1. Morning routine — The user who doesn't want to spend time reading the news while making coffee. Hands free, stay informed. 2. Commute — The user who can't read while driving or walking but still wants to consume information. Podcast format wins here. 3. Information overload — Professionals who want to stay up to date but can't find the time. Catch up on the day in 3 minutes. We're now turning these 3 use cases into creatives. We'll see which message converts with which audience — and I'll share the results here.
